Its soothing melody line and addictive vocals blend in exquisite balance to paint a gentle sonic world.
The bright tones of the horn section are downright exhilarating.
I think it’s perfect for a calm, leisurely afternoon on a day off.
I love you.Inoue Sonoko
The title is “Daisuki,” the number one phrase I think guys want to hear: “I love you.” The cute vocals and melody evoke a sweet-and-sour, youthful vibe.
The atmosphere is just so refreshing.
If you listen while you’re in love, you’ll feel the fun of romance.
The music video is 100% youth.
Adults can listen while reminiscing about those good old days.
Youth is wonderful.

A light, danceable track that modernizes 2000s electropop.
Released digitally in September 2025, the song was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Yano-kun’s Ordinary Days.” Its lyrics, expressing a positive resolve to stay true to oneself no matter where you are, carry a warmth that gives you a gentle push when you find yourself pausing in everyday life.
It’s perfect for anyone ready to break out of their shell and take a new step forward.
All of the YouthFujifaburikku
Shimamura’s distinctive vocals are striking against the gently moist, mid-tempo accompaniment.
Even long after its release, its popularity shows no sign of fading.
It has a tender, refreshing quality that slowly seeps into the heart.
It’s an unforgettable song that especially resonates when you listen to it alone on your way home in the evening.
As the lyrics suggest, it’s also very popular as a song people want to hear at the end of summer.
Tokyo FlashVaundy
Vaundy, known for his highly original music, has earned strong support.
The first track he released digitally, in November 2019, is this urban, mellow number.
Its stylish sound blended with a comfortable groove makes you feel your heart grow lighter just by listening.
Looking at the lyrics, they depict superficial conversations and fleeting relationships, skillfully reflecting both the light and shadow of Tokyo’s glittering nights.
The song was also used as incidental music in ABEMA’s show “Koisuru ♥ Shuumatsu Homestay” and is included on his first album, “strobo.” It’s a track that stays by your side at the end of the day, when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood and let your thoughts wander.

It Ain’t OverFuji Kaze
Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, who blends a wide range of musical genres with his own distinctive sensibility and performs on the world stage.
Among the tracks on his album “Prema,” released in September 2025 and selling 192,000 copies in its first week, this one in particular evokes a quietly profound emotion.
It is a ballad with a soothing, undulating groove, suffused with the warmth of soul and gospel that seeps deep into the heart.
While gently accompanying the sense of loss that comes with losing someone precious, the lyrical world whispers a conviction that “this is not the end,” like a prayer.
Coupled with the saxophone—played by Fujii himself—this song makes you feel your heart softly uncoil as you listen.
It’s the perfect number for nights when you want to step away from the hustle and immerse yourself in time that’s just your own.
