Honmatsu ladybugNEW!Hanbaato Hanbaato
The wordplay is delightful, and the rhythm is so catchy it makes your body move.
Written specifically for NHK E-Tele’s “Shakiin!” it aired on the program starting in October 2011.
Although it was originally released as a sponsored song, it has also been loved as a Humbert Humbert piece and has been self-covered on albums such as “Mukashi Boku wa Mijime Datta” (2014) and “FOLK 2” (2018).
Its unique storytelling and comical lyrical world are addictive.
Highly recommended for parents and children to sing together.
Head over heelsNEW!raisan
The ensemble, which fuses elements of 1980s-inspired disco kayō and city pop, feels fresh, doesn’t it? Many listeners will probably relate to the upbeat lyrics that wholeheartedly embrace the giddy state of being in love.
The band Raisan features Sāya from the comedy duo Sarand as the vocalist under the name CLR, joined by accomplished musicians including Enon Kawatani.
This track, which opens the mini-album “Killer Pass” released in February 2026, had already been performed live and was generating buzz.

Nothing elseNEW!Za Kuromaniyonzu
This is the opening track of the album “ACE ROCKER,” released in January 2012, written and composed by Masatoshi Mashima.
It’s insanely cool in its stark simplicity, stripping away all unnecessary explanation to bottle that raw, early impulse of “just do what you want.” The commitment to recording the entire track in mono is impressive too, giving it a punch where Hiroto Kōmoto’s vocals and the band’s sound hit you like a solid mass.
Don’t overthink it—just surrender yourself to The Cro-Magnons’ pure rock ’n’ roll.
roarNEW!Tomonari Sora
A bold new frontier for Sora Tomonari, whose powerful sound overwhelms you with the heat and tension of the battlefield.

Our top recommendation is this song, released in October 2025.
It was written as the ending theme for the sixth season of the TV anime “Kingdom.” The production’s unwavering commitment is evident in the story that, with the cooperation of the American football team, they actually recorded the scrape of protective gear and raw, rugged shouts.
It’s a pivotal piece that leads into the November 2025 album “Bunmei Kaika – East West.” Give it a listen when you want to break out of your shell or stoke the fire of your inner fighting spirit.
