Blue JeansHANA
Produced by Chanmina, HANA is one of today’s most talked-about girl groups.
When their debut single “ROSE” was released in April 2025, it topped the Billboard JAPAN Hot 100.
Among HANA’s songs, the one I especially recommend is their second single—the group’s first mid-tempo ballad love song.
The highlight of this track is, above all, its lyrical world.
You want to stay true to yourself like a pair of well-worn jeans, yet in front of the person you like, your confidence falters and jealousy creeps in.
It paints a picture of those bittersweet late-night feelings of love.
Many listeners will likely relate to the anxious thought of not knowing when you’ll see each other next.
It’s a stylish and emotional piece that also features a collaboration with the casual brand DIESEL.
pulserokudenashi
An emotional song themed around the heartbeat, it celebrates the importance of expressing your feelings to someone you cherish.
Written, composed, and arranged by Mikito-P, the track was released in May 2025.
Ninjin’s beautiful vocals over a piano accompaniment leave a strong impression, while the hybrid sound—incorporating a programmed rhythm section—is stunning.
Give it a listen whenever you want your heart to be moved!
naporiVaundy
Singer-songwriter Vaundy, who has garnered attention for his multifaceted talent spanning from songwriting and composing to visual production.
This track, included on his May 2020 album “strobo,” is also known as the song used in the commercial for Bourbon’s Alfort Mini Chocolate.
Its intimate vocals and minimal sound delicately capture the anxiety and emotional wavering that lurk within peaceful moments with a lover.
The worldview, which cherishes the fleeting “now” precisely because it is ephemeral, makes you want to sink into it alone late at night.
With total streams surpassing 300 million, this mellow pop tune became a long-running hit, resonating widely with its chill atmosphere.
Ms. SeptemberAimer
Aimer’s husky, warm vocals gently accompany the loneliness of summer’s end in this cover song.
Delicately portraying the bittersweet feeling of “cherishing the passing seasons” along with sparkling memories of youth, the piece has drawn a big response on TikTok, where nostalgic videos praise it as “perfect for summer scenery.” The original song is by the rock band RADWIMPS.
It was included on the single “Chouchou Musubi,” released in August 2016, whose title track was also used as a theme song for an information program.
If you listen closely by yourself at summer’s end, precious memories you’d forgotten may suddenly resurface in your heart.

It’s perfect for moments when you’re struggling with a relationship or wanting to face your own feelings.
Like magic, it draws out the emotions hidden deep within.
If you’re holding onto feelings you can’t put into words, this is a song you should definitely hear.

Tota is a next-generation artist.
The song that instantly blew up on TikTok when she released it is “Tsumugu” (Spinning/Weaving).
It’s a track that likens parting with someone important to changes in the weather.
The wavering of the heart and inner conflict are expressed in beautiful words.
Since it doesn’t depict specific situations, it’s easy to listen to while overlaying it with your own experiences.
Also noteworthy is how the passage of time is expressed through weather throughout the song.
From that, you can sense the protagonist trying to move on.
