HOLLOW HUNGEROxT
OxT, with Masayoshi Oishi on vocals, is a unit originally formed to create anime theme songs, so many anime fans may already know them.
They wrote HOLLOW HUNGER as the opening theme for the anime Overlord IV.
Its opera-like musical style became a hot topic and has received high praise from anime fans overseas.
It’s an overall high-energy track, making it perfect for when you want to lift your mood.
WHEELER-DEALEROxT
A track by the rock unit OxT was selected as the theme song for the feature-length anime Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom.
It was released as a single on September 20, 2024.
Its energetic musical style fuses digital sound with rock, and the lyrics—centered on themes of strength, loyalty, and making choices amid chaos—leave a strong impression.
With Masayoshi Oishi’s powerful vocals and Tom-H@ck’s sound creation, this song lets you experience a vast, cinematic soundscape.
Let yourself be drawn into its epic story!
Hold Your HandPerfume
The song “Hold Your Hand,” which also drew attention as Perfume’s first lyric video, was used as the ending theme for the 2014 drama Silent Poor.
People interpret the lyrics differently, but to me, it suggests that everyone has a vulnerable side, and yet we all keep living strongly while carrying it with us.
Even someone you’ve never heard complain might actually be dealing with something difficult.
Thinking that way somehow makes me feel lighter and gives me the motivation to say, “Let’s do our best together!”
True LiePlastic Tree
Plastic Tree is a rock band formed in 1993.
After making their major debut in 1997, they released this song in 1998.
While the track has a poignant resonance, the bass phrases and drum rhythms create a compelling groove, and vocalist Ryutaro Arimura’s bewitching voice lends the song a sense of splendor.
The lyrics are quite abstract and narrated in a story-like manner, leaving their meaning open to various interpretations.
Still, from the seemingly paradoxical title and lyrics—“True Lie”—one can sense a profound anguish.
White AfternoonPoppin’party
Poppin’Party, affectionately known as “Popipa,” is a fictional band that appears in BanG Dream!, a franchise that spans multiple media.
At the same time, it’s also a full-fledged girls’ band whose voice actresses not only sing but actually play instruments.
They’ve even broken out beyond the realm of voice-actor units, boasting popularity that includes performing at COUNTDOWN JAPAN, the music festival planned and produced by rockin’on japan.
Their 2019 release “White Afternoon” was put out as a digital-only track for a collaborative commercial with Afternoon Tea (Kirin Gogo no Kocha), and it has the potential to be cherished for years as a new classic winter song.
It’s a brisk, driving guitar rock number that feels both refreshing and bittersweet, and the keyboard—taking an almost star turn—has a wonderfully classic J-pop flavor.
Pay attention to the distinct vocal personalities of each member as they sing lyrics that paint a picture of thoughts about a dazzling “dream” on a winter afternoon.
Set aside any preconceptions and give it a listen.

tour with Kottonmouth Kings.
