Lip NoiseTOMOO
Featured on the second major album DEAR MYSTERIES, this piece is a song that depicts a yearning for untouchable beauty.
As the title—symbolizing a sound that cannot become sound, a transparent boundary of emotion—suggests, it delicately traces the ache of a closeness you long for but cannot reach.
The restrained, piano-centered arrangement gradually grows heated toward the end, letting you feel the moment when pent-up emotions break free.
It’s a profound track that makes you want to revisit its lyrical world again and again.
The grass is greener next door.Penthouse
This is a song by Penthouse, written as the theme for ABEMA’s romance reality show “The Grass Is Greener Next Door -Chapter TOKYO-.” Released digitally in November 2025 as their fourth digital single of the year, the track’s appeal lies in its palpable tension that mirrors the show’s drama of conflict and choice.
It portrays the wavering psyche in love between reason and emotion through a tight beat and the intensity of twin vocals.
A perfect fit for a thrilling, fast-unfolding love story!
It’s hard to believe at first.natori
This is an ambitious rock track marking Natori’s return to a band-driven sound.
It begins with the protagonist’s confusion over a sudden crush, and through the metaphor of a tunnel, portrays both the uncertainty of the relationship and the struggle with truths one shouldn’t know.
The guitar-centered band arrangement interwoven with dance-beat rhythms is highly addictive.
Let yourself relate to the pull between wanting to know everything and wanting to remain in the dark.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced stylish and popular songs—centered on classic J-Pop—that we recommend for high school students.
Whether it’s an upbeat track with a great rhythm or a gentle song that resonates with the heart, each piece has its own special charm.
The power of music enriches our everyday lives with color.
High school students, be sure to find your favorite song and enjoy music along with wonderful memories.
