This piece was created as a White Day song for the virtual idol unit LIP×LIP.

It’s a track by the popular creator unit HoneyWorks, released in 2017.

The lyrics depict how, while waiting to meet up for a White Day date, feelings of affection for the other person grow bigger and bigger from anticipation—resulting in an irresistibly heart-fluttering finish.

The pop sound is very easy on the ears, too.

Hump Back, the leading next-generation girls’ band from Osaka.

Their simple guitar riffs really hit you in the heart.

And the song’s biggest draw is the great melody in the chorus! A slightly husky voice sings a tune that somehow feels nostalgic.

It’s incredibly captivating, but I think it’s precisely the dynamics across the whole track that make this chorus stand out.

Centered on the theme of big dreams and goals like Hollywood, it conveys a spirit of adventure and positivity.

IO, who has been attracting attention for his melodious flow, teams up with Tokushima rapper Watson on this track, “Honto feat.

Watson.” As the title suggests, the song plays on rhymes with the word “honto” (meaning “real” or “true”) while conveying his stance and passion.

Some sections pick up the tempo, but the lyrics remain easy to catch, which is a major part of its appeal.

And because the rap leans melodic, it’s approachable even for listeners who aren’t familiar with hip-hop.

HomesickIchika Nito

When people think of guitar instrumentals, some might picture heavily distorted, intense sounds with flashy technical phrases.

However, lately, the so-called “clean tone,” a gentle, undistorted sound, has been becoming a trend.

Among them, Ichika Nito’s “Homesick” is a curious piece: while it makes extensive use of technical phrases, it also has a soothing effect reminiscent of healing music.

The sound—emblematic of the current trend in guitar instrumentals—is a must-listen!
