HEROMr.Children
This song, released in December 2002 by Mr.Children—the indispensable four-piece rock band in Japanese music history—is a moving work created right after Kazutoshi Sakurai’s return from a cerebellar infarction.
The lyrics, infused with the desire to be someone’s hero, are full of gentle resolve: not to be a dazzling presence, but to stand by someone important in everyday life.
Chosen as the theme song for the NTT DoCoMo Group’s 10th-anniversary commercial, it became a long-running hit, ranking 9th on the 2003 annual singles chart.

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.

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.
