New EraAdo

[Ado] New Genesis (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)
New EraAdo

Ado, who continues to spark social phenomena with her overwhelming vocal prowess and distinctive artistic world, delivers this track created as the theme song for the film ONE PIECE FILM RED.

It’s a song infused with messages of hope and change for the future.

Released in June 2022, it dominated charts both in Japan and abroad, becoming the first Japanese song to reach No.

1 worldwide on the Apple Music global chart.

The powerful vocals combined with Yasutaka Nakata’s production leave a lasting impact on listeners.

For Gen Z women, it’s a perfect track to hype up with friends at karaoke.

The digital-only single used as the opening theme for the anime “Oshi no Ko” was produced based on an original short story written by the series’ author.

With the light and dark sides of the idol industry as its theme, the lyrics—depicting the conflict between an idol’s public persona and true feelings—leave a strong impression.

Released in April 2023, the song became a major hit both in Japan and abroad and has won numerous music awards, including the Japan Record Awards’ Composition Prize.

Its lyrics, which evoke a sense of feminine mystique, are sure to draw attention from male singers at karaoke.

However, because the melody is complex and fast-paced, be sure to practice thoroughly before performing.

Young PeopleHitsuji Bungaku

Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece rock band that delicately portrays the struggles of youth through sound.

This work sings of a devoted love that, even while burdened with the loneliness and anxiety felt amid the city’s bustle, strives to make it through the night with someone dear.

From a quiet opening it gradually builds in heat, culminating in a breathtaking surge of guitar that explodes with emotion in the latter half.

It’s the closing track of their first album, “To the Young,” released in July 2018 during their indie days, and the music video’s featuring of Moeka Shiozuka’s dance teacher also drew attention.

Though it runs over six minutes, its careful tracing of emotional waves is sure to resonate deeply with listeners.

Try singing it slowly and fully on nights when you want to share a burning feeling, or when everyday life has left you a little tired.

PiKi “88888888” × Collaboration Movie with the film “Exit No. 8”

The hard four-on-the-floor beat and metallic synth riff pull you straight into their world.

It’s a track by PiKi, a unit featuring Karen Matsumoto from FRUITS ZIPPER and Haruka Sakuraba from CUTIE STREET, set to be released in August 2025.

Created as a collaboration song for the film “Exit 8,” its lyrics count up from zero, seemingly expressing the protagonist’s desperation as they search for a way out of an endless maze.

It’s a dance tune that also highlights their cool, thrilling side.

Released as a debut single in September 2024, this track became a viral hit with over 100,000 posts on TikTok and reached No.

1 on Billboard JAPAN’s TikTok Weekly Top 20.

The song stands out for its positive message that reinterprets “cute” as a source of self-affirmation, and the protagonist’s frantic yet uplifting morning routine leaves a strong impression.

With its charming sound and addictive melody, it’s guaranteed to be a karaoke crowd-pleaser.

It’s the perfect song for moments when you want a boost of confidence or want to sing along and have fun with friends.

Specially, do it.=LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 18th Single “Tokubechu, Shite” [MV full]
Specially, do it.=LOVE

The idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara.

The strategy that leverages the classic idol know-how Sashihara cultivated in AKB and HKT is brilliant, and even in the Reiwa era it continues to capture men’s hearts much like in the Heisei era.

I imagine many male high school students are fans of =LOVE as well.

Among their songs, Tokubechu, Shite is particularly exciting and easy to sing.

In terms of the main melody, the highest note is hi D#, so for women, with the right key adjustment, it should be quite singable.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO

A rock number that cheers on our everyday efforts through its weekend heroes.

It was included on the 2017 album “SHISHAMO 4” and became widely known as the CM song for NTT Docomo’s “Docomo Student Discount.” That same year, the band performed it on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen for their first-ever appearance, generating major buzz.

The song frankly depicts the strength to keep running forward even when things are so tough you want to cry, along with gratitude for those who support you.

Inspired by watching a Kawasaki Frontale match, it’s also loved as a fight song—perfect for anyone looking to get fired up at sports events or live shows.

It stands as one of the band’s signature classics.
