Released in September 2025, HEA7EN is a chill dance tune with airy, comfortable synths.
While the track unfolds with a variety of evolving beats, its overall appeal lies in a stylish sound that keeps the arrangement minimal.
In the lyrics, sweet whispers of love are repeated alongside words like galaxy and stars, creating a sense of intoxication.
It’s the perfect listen for nights when you want to forget the everyday.
HellolandLotta（MOS）
Lotta is a tenor saxophonist from Nirasaki City in Yamanashi Prefecture who performs on the world stage.
She belongs to MOS, a neo-concert band that has been active since 2017, whose “Bradan” performances—fusing music and dance—are truly breathtaking.
Some of you may have seen them reach the semifinals on the audition show America’s Got Talent in 2023.
Lotta’s powerful tenor sound and her signature red member color give her a presence that can be called the face of the group.
She’s also deeply connected to her hometown, planning triumphant return concerts under the title “Koshin-sai,” making her activities impossible to ignore.
HAZEKroi
This song carries a languid, somehow nostalgic atmosphere.
It’s a track by the band Kroi, released in August 2025, and it was chosen as the theme song for the live-action film “Kowloon Generic Romance.” The work portrays a love story that wanders the borderland between reality and dreams, as someone thinks of a precious person within a haze of memories.
The frustration of an elusive relationship, and the aching feeling of not wanting to let go, seep into the heart through the languid vocals and nostalgic sound.
Put it on during a night when you want to indulge in a sentimental mood.
Helpless When She SmilesBackstreet Boys
The Backstreet Boys are often associated with the dance-pop sound of the ’90s, but this song is a mature pop-rock ballad with a beautifully crafted piano melody.
It sings of an irresistible love where a simple smile from the one you love leaves you defenseless and utterly captivated.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics that portray being at the mercy of the other person’s subtle gestures.
Featured on the acclaimed 2007 album Unbreakable, this track is remembered by fans as a song that showcased a new musical direction for the group as a four-piece.
It’s perfect for indulging in the rush of a new romance or for reflecting on a loved one’s smile—reminding you just how much they mean to you.
HEAVY METAL SWEETSmixx
mixx is a three-piece girls’ metal band that drew attention in 2010 with a unique style incorporating elements of visual kei and Gothic Lolita.
The group consisted of ASUKA, a multilingual vocalist fluent in four languages; SAKI, a versatile and technically skilled guitarist; and JACKSON, a drummer who, despite being a current high school student, delivered a heavy groove.
While rooted in heavy metal, they blended in pop melodies and catchy choruses, and were highly active, including streaming a weekly Nico Nico Live program, “mixx no Agepoyo☆Let’s Go!” every Monday.
On their first Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka tour in the fall of 2010, they received high praise for a confident stage presence that belied their limited experience.
Although they unfortunately ended activities in May 2011, SAKI has continued to thrive in bands such as Mary’s Blood and NEMOPHILA.
They’re recommended for music fans seeking a fusion of metal intensity and pop appeal.
The bell of peace ringsSazan Ōrusutāzu
This is a song by Southern All Stars that, within a grand worldview, quietly yet powerfully sings a prayer for peace.
Its sound, combining warmth and stillness, gently embraces the listener’s heart.
Written and composed by Keisuke Kuwata, who was inspired by an NHK documentary program, the song uses words born from the color of a sky reflecting sorrow as a clue to depict the preciousness of life and dreams for the future.
Included on the album “Budou,” released in March 2015—the milestone year marking 70 years since the end of the war—it also became familiar as NHK’s 90th anniversary image song.

snakeYorushika
Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.
You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).
The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.
The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.
It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.
