Curse, curse, curseFuyuu
If you’re looking for music with a strong narrative that sends shivers down your spine, this is it! This piece was released by Vocaloid producer Fuyuu in August 2025.
True to its title, it explores the theme of “curses,” expressing the emotions of a protagonist trapped in an inescapable fate.
The dramatic metal-gothic sound intertwines with the wistful vocals of Hatsune Miku and Kaai Yuki, gripping the listener’s heart.
Give it a listen on a night when you want deep immersion and lingering afterglow!
Just AliveYuka
A singer-songwriter who also holds a teaching license.
Hailing from Daisen City in Akita Prefecture, she has been highly regarded for her vocal ability since childhood and made her debut in 2011 with the theme song for the game series Haki.
If you’re a game fan, the tunes may ring a bell.
Grounded in J-pop, she expresses a wide range of styles from acoustic solo performances to full band sounds.
Her song “Nee” was chosen as the theme for Daisen City’s official tourism PR video, and “Bokura no Ashioto” was selected as the theme song for a TV drama on Akita Broadcasting—proof of her heartfelt connection to her hometown.
Be sure to experience her clear, luminous voice that gently seeps into the heart.
Join us !naniwa danshi
One of the tracks included on the sixth single “I Wish,” “Join us!” Despite being a B-side, it has enjoyed exceptional popularity, even receiving a music video.
It features the refreshing, bright melodies that are a hallmark of Naniwa Danshi.
The vocal range is mid1 E to mid2 G#, which is fairly narrow for a Naniwa Danshi song, so it should be easy for men to sing.
However, the chorus contains prolonged mid-to-high phrases, so be sure to choose a key that doesn’t strain your throat or temples.
10% chance of rainH₂O
This song lets you savor the fluttering excitement of love just beginning, like weather you can’t quite predict.
It was included on the single released by the folk duo H₂O in March 1983 and was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Miyuki.” The duo’s breezy harmonies glide over a light, tropical sound.
In contrast to the ballad on the A-side, this arrangement became a hit, selling over 400,000 copies.
Its sophisticated, city-pop-like ensemble would make for the perfect soundtrack to a refreshing seaside drive.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who loves ’80s New Music.
I got a copyright claim on a song I made myself.tegi
This piece vividly portrays the struggles of a Vocaloid producer.
It’s a track by Tegi, released in November 2024.
As the title suggests, it turns an unfortunate incident into a song: despite being the creator, they received a copyright claim from YouTube’s official system.
If you’re a creator yourself, you’ve probably heard rumors of this kind of trouble.
I can’t help but grin at the determination to turn the whole ordeal into a work of art—and at the solid, catchy, rock-style sound.
Women’s Counting SongYoshi Ikuzo
Among Yoshikazu Ikuzō’s songs, Onna no Kazoewuta stands out for its especially smooth melody.
While it follows the enka tradition, the piece flows with a smooth-jazz-like ease throughout, and compared to typical enka, it features far fewer occurrences of kobushi—the intricate pitch bends that require complex rises and falls.
It’s a work that should especially resonate with fans of adult contemporary.
Instead of techniques like kobushi, it calls for many expansive long tones, so be sure to stay mindful of sustaining those lines.

OctoberTETORA
A song by TETORA is one I want to listen to when the air starts to turn a bit chilly.
This track is included on the album “13 Months,” released in June 2024.
The album is a conceptual work themed around one year and one extra month, imbued with memories and feelings tied to each month.
The emotional vocals overlap with autumn’s distinctive sentimental atmosphere, gently resonating in the heart.
How about giving it a careful listen on a long night when you feel like getting lost in thought?
