Killing time, someone’s lifeUbanaroku
This chilling Vocaloid song portrays the runaway acceleration of “justice” under the mask of anonymity.
Released as Rokuhana Uka’s fifth work in October 2020, it sharply slices into the darkness of modern society through Hatsune Miku’s voice.
The contrast between the light, catchy melody line and the heavy, bleak story unfolding in the lyrics leaves a powerful impression.
Centered around guitar-driven rock, the sound creates a sense of speed, and the more you listen, the deeper you’re drawn into the narrative.
It’s a track that makes you reflect on the act of condemning others on social media.
Higurashi MountainInagaki Junichi
Released in January 1982 as the B-side to the debut single “Ame no Regret,” this is one of Junichi Inagaki’s early works.
The lyrics are by Reiko Yukawa, the music by Kazuhiko Matsuo, and the arrangement by Yasuhiko Tsumura.
The song strikingly opens with an English phrase, and its evocative lyrics transform memories from a place where young lovers once pledged themselves into the legend of a white serpent.
With a refined arrangement characteristic of early city pop and Inagaki’s gentle vocals, it delicately weaves a lyrical world.
The track was also included on his debut album “246:3AM,” released in July of the same year, showcasing Inagaki’s narrative-rich side.
History MakerDEAN FUJIOKA

Its lyrics offer encouragement to those who continue to chase their dreams, making it perfect for winter as we renew our resolve for the new year.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who wants to reflect on their past and take a step into the future.
Alone at Christmas ~ Alone at X’masTHE toraburyū & Clarence Clemons
This is a collaborative track released in February 1997 by THE Toraidora and American saxophonist Clarence Clemons.
Set in New York, the song portrays feelings for a lover far away, with striking imagery of city lights and church bells.
Alongside the band’s sound, Clemons’s wistful saxophone heightens the emotion.
Unlike their massive hit “Road,” this one follows a romantic ballad style, and the music video was reportedly filmed in New York at the time.
It delicately depicts the protagonist’s determination to convey their feelings despite the ache of not being able to meet at Christmas.
It’s a perfect choice for those thinking of a partner far away or for anyone who wants to sing a gentle Christmas song at karaoke.
Gohei Mochi of Yoki from HidaMizutani Chieko
Released in November 2017, this song features a character named Yokichi, who goes around selling gohei-mochi, a specialty of the Hida region.
Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimonogakari composed the music, with lyrics by Takeshi Kura.
The song portrays the sweetness and hardships of life by comparing them to ingredients like soy sauce, miso, walnuts, and sesame.
It also stands out for its structure, which blends catchy calls with an approachable melody—quintessential Mizutani, who aims to bridge enka and pop.
Be sure to savor its humor-filled lyrical world.
