My VegaRīgaru Rirī

Legal Lily – “My Vega” Music Video

Regallily, a band beloved for their alternative sound.

“Boku no Vega,” selected as the ending theme for season 4 of the anime Rent-A-Girlfriend, a romantic comedy that begins with a rental girlfriend service, was released as a single in July 2025.

Inspired by constellations shining in the summer night sky, it portrays that tantalizing sense of distance—so close, yet just out of reach.

Honoka Takahashi’s transparent vocals and the pop-leaning yet faintly forlorn instrumentation gently echo the story’s afterglow.

How about listening to it while feeling the summer night breeze?

When you just can’t find the motivation to study, that’s exactly when you should listen to Tsukimi, the gal rock band from Iwaki City, Fukushima.

Released in April 2023 as their debut single, this track is a rock song that boldly declares the resolve to cut off lingering feelings from a breakup and stand on one’s own feet.

It’s marked by lyrics that call out to the other person with relentless insistence and a hard‑hitting, fast-paced punk sound.

Though there’s no official tie-in, the raw energy honed in live houses has sparked buzz on social media.

It’s perfect for nights when you want to turn defiance into fuel and dive into assignments or exam prep.

Let the confident beat push you forward, and you’ll feel the strength surge into the hand holding your pen.

Chakura – Disgust (Official Music Video)

Let me introduce a song that marks a new frontier for Chakra, the four-piece band known for their ‘headlong-charge girls’ band’ tagline.

Released as a digital single in September 2025, this track stands out by weaving piano tones into their traditionally intense guitar rock, bringing the nuances of emotion into sharper focus.

The lyrics, written in down-to-earth language, pierce the heart as they capture the exhaustion of human relationships and feelings that can’t be neatly resolved.

When you’re frustrated from hitting a wall in your studies, or on nights when tangled emotions keep you from concentrating, Sakura’s emotional vocals will speak for your confusion and help dissolve it.

This fan-beloved masterpiece, which gained support alongside their nationwide tour, is the perfect number for settling your mind and getting back to your desk.
