Hold me tight.YUTORI-SEDAI
YUTORI-SEDAI is a three-piece rock band whose lyrics, which empathize with the negative emotions everyone has, have garnered strong support, especially among younger generations.
Their digital single “Gyutto Shite,” released on July 7, 2023, came out as a sequel to “Suki,” a track that drew major attention on social media.
The lyrics, which straightforwardly portray overflowing feelings for a partner, remind listeners of sentiments they may have forgotten, regardless of age.
Set to a lively shuffle beat, the gentle vocals resonate deeply—an emotional pop tune through and through.
MAJICdawgss
If you’re looking for calm, stylish Japanese music, I recommend “MAJIC.” It’s a track by the unit dawgss, composed of bassist-vocalist Sota Morimitsu and drummer Shunsuke Uehara, included on their first album INORI, which was released on CD exclusively at Tower Records in 2023.
You’ll be enchanted by the laid-back band ensemble.
The soothing atmosphere, which even has a touch of healing, feels comfortable, and the lyrics—gently layered over the music—are encouraging.
emptymiwa
Singer-songwriter miwa has gained popularity for her clear, cute vocals and refreshingly vibrant songs.
Her track “Karappo,” chosen as the theme song for the travel show ‘Burari Tochuu Gesha no Tabi,’ is memorable for its chorus that swells with an uplifting sense of openness.
The lyrics, which evoke a fresh new beginning, seem to give you a gentle push forward alongside the breezy ensemble.
With both a sense of speed and lightness that amplifies anticipation for an unseen future, it’s a feel-good pop tune wrapped in a positive atmosphere.
Bring it on, spring.non
Non’s new song is a youth-fueled, full-throttle anthem celebrating the arrival of spring.
Non wrote the lyrics herself, and it’s reportedly a fan favorite at live shows.
The theme is an uplifting message for people taking a new step forward with spring—packed with energetic vibes that blow away everyday stagnation and capture the passion of youth.
It was released digitally in January 2025, and the music video is also generating buzz.
Non’s look as a member of a student band is seriously cool! It’s the perfect track to kick off spring and give you a push.
Highly recommended for anyone about to start a new chapter in life.
Flowersyuzu
It’s a song whose beautiful harmonies resonate in the heart.
Surprise-released in December 2024, this refreshing up-tempo track blends acoustic guitar tones with digital sounds, painting a gentle, flower-inspired world alongside warm vocals.
It was created to further expand on the world of the album “Zukan.” Highly recommended when you want to feel positive.
