Formed in 1983, PRINCESS PRINCESS—a five-member all-female band selected from over 1,400 applicants—brought a fresh breeze to the J-pop scene.
Known for their powerful performances and catchy melodies, they made their re-debut in 1986 under the prestigious CBS/Sony label.
In 1989, they became the first all-female band to successfully perform at the Nippon Budokan, and their hit song released that same year won the 22nd Japan Cable Radio Awards.
They also achieved a stadium concert at Seibu Stadium.
With each member’s distinctive musicianship and Kaori Kishitani’s soaring vocals in perfect harmony, their music is etched deeply in the heart as a cherished page of youth.

This is one of GADORO’s signature tracks, humorously depicting life and values over a driving, fast-paced beat.
While positively contrasting ideals with reality, it compellingly sings about a down-to-earth way of living.
Included on the album “TAKANABE,” the song teams up with producer CHIVA from BUZZER BEATS to capture listeners with a pleasant sense of release.
The music video features Machiura Pink, and the visual world crafted by director ISSEI is also a must-see.
Since its release in April 2024, the song has drawn a strong response.
The lyrics are rapid-fire and may be a bit challenging, but the melody is approachable—so be sure to give it a try and sing along.
The Age Of BlueOVUM
OVUM is an instrumental rock band that stirs listeners’ hearts with a blend of delicate nuance and bold expression.
Formed in Tokyo in March 2006, the four-piece has forged a unique sonic world within the realms of post-metal and post-rock.
They debuted with their first EP, “under the lost sky.
ep,” released on their own label in May 2007, and fully took flight the following year with the album “microcosmos.” While inheriting the lineage of wall-of-sound post-rock, they captivate with intricate arpeggios and a clear-toned palette, performing energetically at home and abroad.
In 2014, they successfully completed an Asia tour across nine countries, earning high acclaim worldwide for their musicality.
OVUM is highly recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in rich instrumental expression and be moved by the striking contrast between stillness and sonic intensity.
JulianPurinsesu Purinsesu
This is a ballad that sings of a bittersweet, aching love.
Released by Princess Princess in November 1990, this gem of a song delivers a cathartic performance of unfulfilled feelings, vividly portraying the complex emotions toward someone precious who is slipping away.
With lyrics by Kanako Nakayama and music by Kaori Okui, it drew attention as the band’s first ballad single and was also featured in a commercial for Citizen’s Lighthouse.
It reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and ranked 13th on the 1991 year-end chart.
For anyone experiencing the pangs of unrequited love or harboring deep feelings for someone important, this song will surely offer gentle solace.
Merry-Go-Round of LifeHisaishi Joe
A memorable piece whose melody warmly depicts the subtleties of life, carried by the strains of a waltz.
Born from the collaboration between Studio Ghibli and Joe Hisaishi as the theme for Hayao Miyazaki’s film Howl’s Moving Castle, it is a true gem.
Beginning with an elegant solo piano and unfolding into the rich resonance of a full orchestra, the arrangement seems to portray the journey we call life.
It is popular overseas as well, with street-piano performances drawing attention.
Hisaishi’s uniquely delicate musicality elevates both the story’s fantastical elements and its profound human drama.
This beautiful classic keeps you company in those moments when, amid the gentle flow of time, you feel the urge to look inward and rediscover yourself.
Innocent PastelNaskey
This pop tune brightly captures the pure, fresh feeling of wanting to shine like an idol in front of someone you like.
Released by Naskey in May 2020, it features an infectious melody laid over a lively band sound.
Blending the glamour and cuteness typical of idol songs, it sweeps you into its sweet world and sets your heart aflutter.
Brimming with the atmosphere of a scene from a youth drama, this track is perfect for elevating your romantic mood!
The Road Gelsomina WalkedTeresa Ten
When it comes to Teresa Teng, she is widely acclaimed for works imbued with a sense of melancholy, but among them, the one I particularly recommend for its refined gravitas is The Road Gelsomina Walked.
While the song is categorized as kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song), it features a passionate melody somewhat reminiscent of chanson or bolero.
In contrast to that fervent melody, the vocal line is crafted to be quite narrow in range and monotonous.
Toward the end of the A section, a technique appears that is closer to a Western-style vocal riff than to traditional kobushi ornamentation, making this piece one of her works with especially strong Western influences.
