Where the light isCHiCO
CHiCO, also known as the singer of the collaboration unit CHiCO with HoneyWorks—a creative collective affectionately nicknamed “Haniwa”—released this song, “Hikari no Arika” (Where the Light Is), in July 2023 as the first single of her solo career.
It’s a motivational anthem that gives you the strength to face forward—highly recommended for anyone feeling discouraged or up against a wall.
You’ll be blown away by CHiCO’s dynamic vocals, which shift seamlessly between gentle, conversational warmth and powerful intensity.
Scarlet -akairo-CIVILIAN
Formed in 2008, they released their first work, “Cutter Knife and a Cold Night.” In 2016, they changed their band name from LYU:LYU to CIVILIAN and made their major-label debut the same year with “Ai/Zō” on Sony Music Records.
Led by Koyama, who writes and composes all their songs, this three-piece band stands out in Japan’s rock scene with lyrics consistently focused on human emotions and rock-solid musicianship.
As a well-balanced band, they are expected to achieve even greater success going forward.
Flutter, flutterClariS
ClariS’s “Hirahara Hirara” conjures up the beautiful sight of cherry blossoms in Japan.
Released in 2016, it’s included on the mini-album “SPRING TRACKS -Haru no Uta-,” which was created around the theme of spring songs.
The lyrics tenderly express the bittersweet feelings of thinking about an unforgettable someone while gazing at cherry blossoms.
The protagonist’s demure aura and the melody’s beauty overlap with the fleeting, delicate scenery of sakura.
Try listening while thinking of that irreplaceable person you can’t forget.
It’s also a great spring karaoke pick for women.
HiréfuseCleeNoah
It’s an insanely cool piece of electronic music with a suspicious, enigmatic vibe.
Released in 2021 under the vocal group name CleeNoah, it’s a Vocaloid track.
The powerful, high-pressure sound design feels great—you’ll want to crank the volume to the max.
The four-on-the-floor beat is another reason it’s so easy to groove to.
The lyrics are fiery too, conveying a resolve to be yourself and walk your own path.
Definitely give it a listen when you want to raise your energy and ignite your spirits.
Falling blossoms carried by the windCocco
Cocco’s “Hika Rakka” is a poignant yet beautiful song that evokes the history of her musical career.
Many listeners know that she once aspired to be a ballet dancer and began her path as a singer at her sister’s encouragement.
After resuming her activities in 2006 and joining the band SINGER SONGER, Cocco deepened her love for music while scattering her unique worldview throughout her work.
This piece is a masterpiece that distills her passion for music, and I especially recommend it to those who have a burning love for music or who are drawn to voices that resonate deep within the heart.

When you want to sway your body to something laid-back, Hibana (Sparks) is also a great pick.
This track was released ahead of Cornelius’s album Dream In Dream.
Keigo Oyamada wrote both the lyrics and music.
The lyrics compare the “sparks” in the title to various things, capturing those moments—like when an emotional switch flips—that are hard to express in other words.
Another highlight is the way the repeated melody creates a uniquely uncanny atmosphere.
You are not aloneDEEN
As a heartwarming song themed around friendship, one of DEEN’s signature works has captured the hearts of many fans.
Released as a single in April 1996, this track was used as the first ending theme for the Fuji TV anime series Dragon Ball GT.
The lyrics carry an encouraging message that you are not alone, even when facing difficulties.
Through the bonds with someone important, it portrays discovering new hope and possibilities within oneself, resulting in a piece that resonates deeply with listeners.
It’s a highly recommended song not only for anime fans but also for anyone who values friendship and connection.
