Jenga40mP
A song by 40mP sung by Miku.
It likens how the years and affection we’ve built up can easily collapse if just one piece is pulled out to a game of Jenga.

Released in March 2009, the single reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

A bittersweet yet hopeful song that gently accompanies the deepening autumn of November.

Its charm lies in the contrast between a light, upbeat melody and heartrending lyrics, with an anklet symbolizing the end of a romance and a new beginning leaving a strong impression.
It sold 1,095,000 copies in its first week, debuting at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly CD Single Ranking.

Mari-ko from aboveAKB48
This song is an AKB48 track released in 2011, written with Mariko Shinoda in mind, who took the center position after winning the rock-paper-scissors tournament.
The music video is an intriguing school drama where the student who wins at rock-paper-scissors becomes the student council president.
It’s interesting that even such a pop song uses the canon progression.
One of the great things about the canon progression is that the chords flow beautifully sideways without getting too much in the way of the melody.

Chosen as the ending theme for the Fuji TV anime “Run for Money: The Great Mission,” the track is drawing attention as their major-label debut release in March 2025.
It’s a song that will give you a push when you feel like you’re losing your sense of self or want to take a bold new step forward.
