glitterHamasaki Ayumi
It’s one of Ayumi Hamasaki’s popular songs—a bit more up-tempo than her usual style.
Even though it’s upbeat, it’s not just bright; it’s the kind of song that makes you want to take light, playful steps.
It’s perfect for summer, so I’d love to listen to it at the beach.
Butt-biting bugoshiri kajiri mushi
It’s a song from a children’s anime.
The phrase “butt” became a huge hit with kids.
The lyrics are very simple but impactful, so even little children can memorize it quickly.
The music video also features the ‘Butt-Biting Bug,’ which is really cute.
The Sign of I Love You ~Our Future Sketch~DREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a hugely popular answer song.
In “Mirai Yosouzu,” they used a motorcycle for dates, but here it’s a car.
You can sense that they’ve grown up and that time has passed.
While DREAMS COME TRUE’s vocal skill really stands out, the lyrics are also wonderfully beautiful.
Ultra Music PowerHey! Say! JUMP
It’s a sports cheer song that was used as the theme song for the Volleyball World Cup.
Since it’s for a volleyball tournament, words like “jump” appear in the lyrics.
It’s an energetic track that blows away the loneliness you can feel while playing sports.
FakeMr.Children
It’s a cool song by Mr.Children.
While many of their tracks rely heavily on the lyrics, this one really captivates with its melody as well.
It’s a song that reminded me that Mr.Children is, at its core, a rock band.
