Mononoke DanceDenki Gurūvu
There’s a trend where only high BPM gets praised, but amid that, this track seems to ask, “Does groove and feel really come from just fast tempos?” It’s an anime tie-in, yet it keeps a perfect distance—not too close, not too far—from the show’s image, and that subtle spacing further stokes the groove.
Sun of Lovekururi
A single by Quruli released in March 2023.
It was pre-released in February and was also chosen as the theme song for the Netflix film “Call Me Chihiro.” It’s a simple, medium-tempo pop-rock song that’s very easy to groove to.
The vocal melody line is also very straightforward and easy to hum, so it should be relatively manageable for anyone to shoot for a perfect 100 at karaoke.
Listen closely to the original, study where to sustain notes, where to cut them off, and how to do so, and give that perfect score a try.
Mama Said ~Hatarakippa~KICK THE CAN CREW
It’s a track included on the album “MAGIC NUMBER.” It’s themed around the image of ants working hard every day.
The song has a unique concept, comparing the ants’ behavior with the singer’s own tired state as it unfolds.

It has been used frequently in commercials and TV dramas, earning absolute popularity among people of that era.
RomeoBLANKEY JET CITY
If you ask people from the generation that listened to Blankey Jet City in real time what their favorite song is, many might say this one.
It’s a track that vividly portrays a spirit of resistance against the immense power that rock ’n’ roll holds.
Pin-heel SurferSCANDAL
This is a song by SCANDAL, a four-member girls’ band from Osaka.
It’s a pop track that cheers on women from a female perspective, and the lyrics are really encouraging.
It’s the kind of song only SCANDAL, now grown and mature, could sing.
The melody is refreshing and the groove is fantastic.
Be sure to check it out.
Star Lablationkerakera
The theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “Last Cinderella.” A number with a bursting, cheerful melody and vocals that lift your spirits.
