We can’t even become stars.kokokoko tokkyo kyokakyoku
This song portrays a bittersweet feeling of sinking into darkness, unable to become a shining star.
It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Kokokoko Tokkyo Kyokakyoku, released in November 2025.
The airy sound woven by piano and synthesizer melds with Hatsune Miku’s fragile vocals.
The way it chooses to keep singing despite the powerlessness of unfulfilled wishes is truly heart-wrenching.
Reflecting the introspective worldview of Kokokoko Tokkyo Kyokakyoku, who has been actively creating throughout 2025, this piece is a standout.
The music video by filmmaker Tokyo Neko Kaiwai is also a must-see, with sound and visuals uniting to seep into your heart.
It’s a song that keeps you company at night when you want to quietly face your own emotions.
Stars are falling.Senchimirimentaru
It’s a beautiful piano ballad that lays bare an unending lingering attachment to a former lover.
The song is by Sentimental, the solo project of Atushi.
While looking back on memories with an ex, it describes feelings of longing that remain firmly in the heart—an insistence that even as the seasons change, the emotions won’t.
Many listeners will surely relate to these heartrending lyrics.
Yet, in the final lines, the singer wishes the other person happiness, conveying a sense of trying to move forward.
This song was featured in a commercial for the illumination event at Laguna Ten Bosch.
Two starsyurayura teikoku
If you want to surrender yourself to a sweet psychedelic ballad, try this track from Yura Yura Teikoku’s classic album “Me no Car.” Released in June 1999, it’s a seven-and-a-half-minute epic that closes out the album, with a dreamy, mist-wandering atmosphere and a wistful melody that tugs at the heart.
The calmly repeating rhythm and guitar tones shimmering like a water’s surface feel soothing, and despite its length, it never grows tiresome.
Contrary to the band’s reputation for intense songs, this one is quiet and romantic—perfect for when you want to sing with a gentle, tender touch.
Its sound, which feels like the stillness before dawn, is ideal for a relaxed moment with close friends or for immersing yourself alone in the world of the song.
hometownMy Hair is Bad
This song, packed with hometown love for Joetsu City in Niigata Prefecture, is one of the tracks included on the album “boys,” released in June 2019.
By mentioning former friends and the shops they used to visit by name, the lyrics move back and forth between past and present, stirring up the hometown scenes in the listener’s heart.
The part where Shiiki packs in words almost like a rap is striking, and the style feels fresh—rather than following a melody, it speaks to you on the rhythm.
Cherished by fans as a song that conveys the band’s roots, this is a deeply beloved track.
The vocal range itself isn’t wide, but there are lots of words, so the trick is to lock into the rhythm when you sing it.
Give it a listen on a night when you suddenly find yourself thinking of your distant hometown or old friends.
