New LightNEW!Kanagawa-ken
Enacted in April 1950 during the postwar reconstruction period, this prefectural residents’ song has long been cherished as a symbol of Kanagawa Prefecture.
Notable for its lyrics that entrust hopes to a new era and evoke the region’s rich natural environment of sea and mountains, the piece also captivates with its dignified melody composed by Nobuo Iida.
As for recordings, in addition to an SP disc by Noriaki Fujii and Ryoko Fujiwara, a cover version by Koichi Miura and Hamako Watanabe was produced in 1966.
It can be described as a song imbued with the history of the homeland and the sentiments of its residents.

Ten Billion Cravings for ApprovalNEW!Remioromen
This song, with a distinctly SNS-era cynical theme, lyrically gives voice to the modern longing to be acknowledged.
Its delicate ensemble, including strings, creates a strong impact that pulls you into its world.
Remioromen, the rock band highly acclaimed for hits like Powder Snow, the insert song from the TV drama 1 Litre of Tears, have done it again.
This work is their first new ballad in 15 years, included on the best-of album SINGLES BEST+, released in March 2026 following their return to activity in December 2025.
It’s a modern number—with a message—that I’d recommend to anyone feeling worn out by worrying about others’ reactions in their relationships right now.
