[Great to Listen to and Sing] A Collection of Cool Japanese Songs [2026]

Get-go!EXILE

EXILE / Get-go! (Music Video)

Released in September 2025, this work is the 52nd single and the first in about four years and five months.

The lyrics were written by ATSUSHI himself, expressing the joy of reuniting with his companions and gratitude to the fans.

It fuses EXILE’s signature R&B flavor with an exhilarating pop sound, creating a groove that feels both nostalgic and new.

It’s the perfect track for when you want to make a fresh start or feel the bond with your cherished friends.

[MV] Creepy Nuts – Fallen Angel (DATEN)

A hip-hop unit that has continually reshaped hip-hop’s image in the J-pop scene and is active not only in music but also on variety shows, Creepy Nuts presents their second single.

Released simultaneously with their third album, “Ensemble Play,” the track also drew attention for their performance on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE.

The rapid-fire, cleverly rhymed rap paired with a striking, fast-evolving track showcases the pop side of hip-hop, which still tends to carry a scary image.

It’s a song you can enjoy just by listening—and one that lets you feel the fun of rap when you try it at karaoke.

King & Prince「ichiban」MV YouTube Edit

How about a Japanese-style electronic tune with a deep bass that thumps pleasantly in your gut? It’s a track by the popular Johnny’s idol group King & Prince, included on their 2022 album “Made in.” The song was written and composed by the rapper KREVA.

At its core is a powerful message: “We’re the ones at the top.” Why not follow along as they take the lead and carve out the path ahead?

instinctShiina Ringo

Ringo Sheena – Instinct

Ringo Sheena, who is also active as the vocalist of Tokyo Jihen.

One of her signature songs is “Honnō.” It’s a track with a mature vibe, and its dense, immersive world has earned strong support from many listeners.

It’s also been used in a commercial tie-in, so plenty of people may know it from there.

The melody leaps dramatically up and down throughout the song, making it fairly challenging to sing.

But if you can pull it off, it’s undeniably cool! Also, the music video’s direction was a hot topic, so be sure to check it out as well.

The lyrics, themed around fate and unavoidable battles, reflect the weight of the group’s 17-year history, stirring the hearts of listeners.

When you’re facing challenges or need to fire yourself up, listening to it will surely fill you with courage!

It’s nothing at all.Fuji Kaze

Fujii Kaze – Hedemo Ne-Yo (Single Version)

It’s a song that slices away small worries in one clean cut and leaves your chest feeling refreshed.

It’s by Kaze Fujii, a singer-songwriter from Okayama Prefecture, released in 2020 as his third single.

The shift from a period-drama-style intro to a heavy, weighty electronic sound is insanely cool.

It fits perfectly with his mature, sweet vocals.

And of course, the lyrics are what you should really pay attention to.

They’re crafted in a way that makes you think, “Only Fujii could write this.”
