WONDERFULGReeeeN
Since their debut, GReeeeN—a four-member vocal group that has consistently kept their appearances private to avoid interfering with their primary profession as dentists—has maintained a unique presence.
Their 35th digital-only single, “WONDERFUL,” selected as the theme song for the film Daimyō Tōsan (The Lord’s Bankruptcy), is a pleasant number featuring a piano-centered ensemble and a lively shuffle beat.
The lyrics, which highlight the importance of acting true to yourself and following your heart, are sure to encourage those who find themselves hesitating or feeling envious of others.
It’s a refreshing pop tune with a catchy rap that deserves special attention.
Beautiful Dayschay
Chay, who has been broadening her activities with appearances on variety shows, released a blissful track titled “Beautiful Days.” In this song, she likens times when things don’t go well to a bud, and expresses the message that success will come someday by comparing it to a flower blooming.
It works well as a motivational song.
Another appealing point is how it encourages respect for individuality, inspired by the fact that flowers come in different colors.
Its profound lyrics are sure to soothe the heart.
Flower of HappinessJanīzu WEST
A heartwarming piece I’d like to introduce is “Shiawase no Hana.” It’s a song by the idol group Johnny’s WEST, with lyrics and composition by Takashi Yamaguchi of Sambomaster, resulting in a classic rock sound.
The lyrics convey the message: “Precisely because everyday life can be tough, let’s keep smiling and live joyfully.” The arrangement highlights each member’s unique voice, which might help you discover a new side to the group.
palettesaidāgāru
Cidergirl is a band with an outstanding sense of exhilaration.
The voice, the melody, the rhythm—everything about this song is refreshing, and it portrays a youthful romance.
Its catchy melody doesn’t just stick in your head; it’s a masterpiece that naturally gets your body moving.
Listen to it while working or studying, and you’ll likely find your productivity improving.
It’s a gem you’ll want to play on repeat.
As for the music video, you can’t help but exclaim, “What kind of place are they singing in?”
That’s Why I Gave Up MusicYorushika
From the very start, with the vocals over the piano accompaniment, it’s strikingly refreshing, and the piano riff that follows is incredibly exhilarating as well.
The lyrics, which portray struggles we face in everyday life—especially conflicts that anyone who’s been involved with music can relate to—leave a strong impression.
Although the theme of the lyrics is heavy, the song’s contrasting breeziness stands out all the more.
Invincible happiness!suzumiya haruhi (CV: hirano aya) nagato yuki (CV: chihara minori) asahina mikuru (CV: goto yuko)
It’s an irresistibly happy number that feels like a big “We’re back!” to fans who’ve been waiting for years.
Sung by Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Yuko Goto, the track is set to release in July 2025.
It was born from the crowdfunding project launched in November 2024 to commemorate the release of “Theatrical Haruhi Suzumiya.” The colorful sound that gets your body moving without overthinking perfectly embodies the series’ energy.
The lyrics’ message—about charging ahead by your own rules with strong resolve, and how the meaning of encounters follows later—will make listeners’ hearts skip.
When you want to punch a hole through a dull routine, put this song on!
