[Hot and Trending!] Cool Japanese Music Videos (1–10)
broad daylightKing Gnu
The music video opens in monochrome with a profile shot of someone singing into a microphone.
At first glance, you might think it’s a “recording session,” but as the video progresses, it becomes clear this isn’t a studio.
These days, many music videos are elaborate visual productions that use CG and other effects.
However, this song’s video is composed almost entirely of scenes of the members performing and singing.
That simplicity, combined with the monochrome aesthetic, matches the track perfectly, resulting in a piece that exudes a calm, mature coolness.
PretenderOfficial HIGE DANDism
This music video, said to have been filmed in Taiwan, is basically composed of scenes of Official HIGE DANDism singing and performing.
However, the glimpses of Taiwanese scenery in the background and the people smiling as if in a short drama stir our imagination and draw us into the song.
It’s a fitting MV for the gently powerful “Pretender.”
cornerDaichi Miura
This is a song that was used as an insert track in the drama ‘Hakui no Senshi!’ As for the music video’s content, it’s no exaggeration to say the whole piece is simply about “walking through a wilderness.” However, with its message of “continuing to search for what’s truly important amid regret and the like,” the work uses camerawork and editing to elevate footage of just walking into a compelling piece that never grows dull.
It’s an unusual music video that makes you think, “So there are PVs like this, too.”

KiND PEOPLEBiSH
It’s a powerful music video featuring 150 dancers, all dressed entirely in black.
At first, the sight of 150 identically dressed people standing silently creates a slightly eerie atmosphere.
But once the music starts and they move in unison, it’s nothing short of breathtaking.
Essentially, it’s a simple video that focuses solely on the dancing and the singing within it, and that simplicity is exactly what makes its impact so strong.
I can’t forget it.Sakanaction
Sakanaction always showcases a unique sense of style, and this time is no exception.
They’ve hinted at it before, but this release packs in more of an “’80s” flavor than ever.
From white suits and sunglasses to CRT color tones and a 4:3 aspect ratio, they go all-in on recreating both the technology and trends of the era.
With that sensibility—and touches that will make anyone who remembers those days crack a smile—it’s a music video that’s entertaining on multiple levels.
