moooove!!King&Prince
It’s gaining attention as a powerful dance track rooted in hip-hop.
The song carries a strong message about pushing forward without being constrained by society’s rules or noise, staying true to yourself.
It stands out as a track that highlights King & Prince’s new musical direction and exceptional dance skills.
This piece is one of the songs on their 15th single, released in May 2024, and it was also selected as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s 60th anniversary drama “95.” The music video features styling inspired by ’90s culture, resulting in a blend of nostalgia and freshness.
The cool dance performance synchronized with the high-BPM rhythm is a must-see.
Its powerful sound and uplifting lyrics make it perfect as background music for dance practice or workouts.
I like summer.Young Hastle
A Yanhasu summer song with lyrics listing all the good things about summer that almost bring you to tears! The two featured friends add a wonderful touch, too, and it’ll put you in a tropical mood.
This is without a doubt an eternal summer anthem!
avoid noteMrs. GREEN APPLE
Written specifically for the first best-of album “5,” “Avoid Note” takes its name from a musical term meaning “a note that should be avoided because it clashes with other sounds.” Riding on an exhilarating rock tune, its cynical lyrics may make many listeners feel as if the song is calling them out.
The melody spans a wide range and sits in a high key, but because many phrases move stepwise, it’s easy to sing if you adjust it to your own key.
With lyrics that feel pleasantly rhymed, it’s a modern rock tune that’s a joy to listen to.
Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya
Blue Room, which also served as the opening theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death.
It’s a high-energy uptempo song themed around “blue = youth,” blending freshness with a touch of melancholy.
Its world, radiant with the brilliance and confidence of youth, is woven through its beautiful melodies and choruses.
Even now as adults, the “blue room” still exists within our hearts.
That message seems like it could be a powerful boost for working adults too, especially when listened to during the commute.
Operation BeggingBLACK BABYMETAL
The sound gives the impression of slow-tempo hard rock, and its pairing with cute vocals creates a unique atmosphere unlike anything else.
It’s also a fan favorite at live shows and is the perfect track to share with others.

GOFLOW
It’s also popular for having been used as an opening theme for the anime NARUTO.
The catchy, powerful sound and straightforward, message-driven lyrics are striking, and it’s a song that’s sure to get you pumped whenever you listen to it.
Crystal GageGARNET CROW
It opens gently with clear, translucent female vocals, and when it hits the chorus, it suddenly transforms into an upbeat, energetic track.
The groove is so comfortable it makes you want to sway, and I think it has an appeal that will resonate with a wide range of listeners, including women and older generations.
