Star BoatLia
The theme song for the theatrical anime “planetarian: Hoshi no Hito.” Shinji Orito, who also composed Lia’s signature song “Tori no Uta,” once again handled the composition.
The lyrics, which have a fantastical feel that matches the story’s worldview, are sure to delight fans of the original.
Lia’s one-of-a-kind vocals evoke the image of a vast starry sky.
After-School High FiveLittle Glee Monster
This Little Glee Monster song is a refreshing pop number themed around student life and friendship.
With its bright, uplifting lyrics and distinctive harmonies, it gives listeners energy and courage.
Released in January 2016, the track is also known as their major debut single.
The lyrics capture the joy felt in after-school moments with friends and in the days you overcome challenges together, resonating strongly with younger audiences.
It’s perfect for students—why not try filming a twin dance with your friends? This work is recommended when you want to feel the bonds of friendship and the small joys of everyday life.
HON-NOMAHO EMPiRE、NOW EMPiRE（EMPiRE）
Although they are an idol group, the six-member group EMPiRE has garnered support not only from men but also from young women, and both MAHO EMPiRE and NOW EMPiRE are from Yamagata Prefecture.
Like BiSH, which took the J-POP scene by storm as a “punk band without instruments,” they are artists under WACK.
Even within a group where each member has a striking individuality, MAHO EMPiRE’s vocal ability and NOW EMPiRE’s dance performance particularly stand out.
As BiSH has announced its disbandment in 2023, EMPiRE are idols expected to energize the J-POP scene in their stead.
why not whoMAJESTICS
Majestics is a ska band formed in Okinawa Prefecture in 1997.
The group was founded mainly by members who gathered at Swing Dragon, a reggae bar in Nago City, Okinawa, and they expanded their activities from Okinawa to the rest of Japan and even overseas.
An important point when talking about the band is that they cherish and perform authentic ska—the roots of ska that evolved from reggae.
Their sound features a solidly layered horn section, powerful yet gentle, with a light offbeat that gives an uplifting, forward-looking feel.
Alongside that gentle lightness, the band’s mature confidence and sensual allure come through strongly, which is another part of their appeal.
White HappyMARETU
This is a chiptune with a unique worldview that grabs you right from the start.
It’s a work by MARETU, also known for creating the song “Say the Producer’s Name!” which uses a Vocaloid producer’s name, and it was released in 2017.
The lyrics have a great phonetic feel, and the word choices are so cool you’ll want to listen over and over.
The catchy synth riffs are another part of its appeal.
Poem of the StarsMILLEA
If you’re looking for a soothing, encouraging star-themed song, I recommend “Hoshi no Uta” (“Poem of the Stars”).
It’s a track from the album of the same name released in 2016 by Mireia, a Sapporo-born singer who debuted in 2015.
This beautiful number is a collaboration featuring the starry sky of Achi Village in Nagano—often called the best stargazing spot in Japan—and the shadow play troupe Kakashiza.
Be sure to watch the visuals as you listen.
Mirei’s warm, embracing vocals and lyrics will gently ease feelings of longing and hardship.

A Heart Where Stars FallMIMI
It’s a song that carries a gentle warmth, lightening the heart.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer MIMI, it was released in July 2024.
The beautiful piano melody and Hatsune Miku’s clear, translucent vocals leave a strong impression.
The lyrics unfold a worldview that gently stays close to those carrying loneliness or uncertainty.
A song you once listened to with someone special on a bus… maybe you have a memory like that too.
It hits especially hard on nights when you feel alone.
