hikariKid Fresino
A single crafted by KID FRESINO that feels like a deep, warm prayer.
Dedicated to irreplaceable friends, the piece blends the sound of steelpan into its calm textures, as if gently wrapping the sorrow tucked away in the heart.
The music video, released in July 2025, interweaves live footage of his late close ally JJJ from before his sudden passing, and together with the music, it tugs at your tear ducts.
The aching feeling of thinking about someone dear, and the faint light that still urges you to look ahead.
On a quiet night, why not listen closely by yourself?
Hee, hee, hooshigure ui
This is a motivational anthem by Shigure Ui, who wears two hats as both an illustrator and a VTuber, singing about the pains and joys of creation.
The track is included on the album “fiction,” released in September 2024.
An animated music video dropped in July 2025 and became a hot topic.
The relentless barrage of rapid-fire rap and intense rock sound is seriously addictive! The lyrics reflect the hard work and pride she’s built up so far, stirring listeners’ hearts.
When you hit a wall, listening to this song might give you the courage to think, “I’ll try just a little harder!”
Secret FireflyNagai Miyuki
Miyuki Nagai’s “Hibotaru” is set in early-summer Nara, overlaying a fleeting love with fireflies dancing in the dark.
The song moves from a flower-scented daytime scene to a night where fireflies take flight, drawing you into a world that feels like reading a short novel.
A Western-style arrangement that goes beyond traditional enka and the aching timbre of the erhu intertwine exquisitely, evoking the smoldering passion of a secret love.
Nagai’s breathy vocals vividly depict the protagonist burdened with growing feelings, tightening the listener’s heart.
monologueSuga Shikao
While burdened with self-loathing and regret, we can’t help but put on a brave face.
This song by Shikao Suga lays bare that helpless human frailty.
Contrary to its pleasantly jazzy sound, the lyrics—like a spiral of inner monologue—pierce deeply into the listener’s heart.
Released in June 1998 as the B-side to the single “Bokutachi no Hibi,” the track was also featured in a commercial for Ezaki Glico’s Almond Chocolate.
On nights when you’re disheartened by not living up to your ideals, doesn’t listening to this song make you feel as if it’s saying, “And that’s okay,” embracing you just as you are?
As a personSuperfly
Superfly has many songs with a high vocal range, but this one is a cover of SUPER BEAVER, so the range is set lower than in typical Superfly songs.
If you’re a woman who wants to sing SUPER BEAVER’s “Hito to Shite,” the original might feel too low and make it hard to hit the pitches, so singing the Superfly version could make it easier to match the notes and get a higher score.
Listening through the song, it’s structured to build momentum from the A-melody into the chorus.
The last chorus modulates and goes even higher, but if you sing with energy, it becomes easier to project and stay on pitch, so I recommend riding the rhythm as you sing.
PhoenixNakajima Mika
Set to a magnificent orchestral sound, Mika Nakashima’s powerful vocals resonate in this dramatic ballad.
As the ending theme for an NHK TV anime based on Osamu Tezuka’s original work, it was released in June 2004 as her 12th single—so many of you may already know it.
Carried by a fleeting yet beautiful melody, the timelessness of love handed down across time overlaps with the image of a legendary bird that overcomes hardship and is reborn.
The track was later included on the album “MUSIC.” When you want to reflect on the grand flow of life and fate, immerse yourself in this expansive world.
It will surely leave you deeply moved.
HiraethKano
This is a song by Kano, chosen as the theme song for the mystery adventure game “Sofia, in Exchange for Lies,” set to be released in July 2025.
As if reflecting the game’s mysterious worldview, a grand yet somehow heartrending melody unfolds.
The protagonist’s anguished longing to uncover the truth hidden behind lies is conveyed through Kano’s clear, whisper-like vocals.
Her voice delicately paints a nostalgia for what’s lost, tightening your chest.
It might be perfect for a quiet night, when you want to linger in the afterglow of a mysterious story.
