This is a ballad that fuses piano with a band sound, trembling like the cold, clear winter air.

Sung by ChroNoiR, the song resonates with a warmth that gently shares loneliness and pain beneath a night sky streaked by the Geminid meteor shower.

The music video was released in December 2020, and the track was also included on the album “UP 2 YOU” as an important piece of the story.

Composed by Takaaki Natsushiro, it features the overlapping voices of Kanade and Kuzuha, evoking a palpable bond within the wistfulness.

It’s an emotional song you’ll want to listen to on those anxious nights when you long to feel someone’s warmth.

This song vividly captures, with a strong sense of speed, the complex state of mind where feelings for someone you love can be both a salvation and a curse.

It’s a track by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer known for numerous hits, released in March 2022.

Featured on the eighth album, MANNEQUIN, it borrows the image of Hatsune Miku as an idol to drive home the frustration and dead ends of romance.

Razor-sharp guitars entwine with a driving beat, and just listening to it amps you up.

That very momentum makes it feel like the protagonist’s urgent emotions, spelled out in the lyrics, are pouring straight into your ears.

It’s the perfect song for blowing away the fuzziness of unrequited love or for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.

An addictive technopop that grabs your heart with its thrilling soundscape.

Its ominous yet dance-inducing beat will have you hitting repeat before you know it.

Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline

The bittersweet dance beat of “Just Be Friends.” Since the tempo isn’t too fast, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

Among Vocaloid songs, the melody line is very simple, and the fact that it doesn’t feel so typically “Vocaloid” might also make it easier to sing.

It’s a dance track that makes your body want to move, so lightly riding the rhythm while you sing will help you relax and make it easier to stay on pitch.

Be careful not to move too exaggeratedly, or you’ll throw off the groove! Also, singing as if you’re speaking in a polite, outward-facing voice will help keep your pitch stable, so it’s recommended!

Raden Juufutei, who has a deep love for traditional performing arts and fine art and works as a member of the VTuber group ReGLOSS.

Released in December 2025, this work is a unique mnemonic song that lets you enjoyably learn Japanese art history to a rhythm.

Set to a sprightly melody crafted by singer-songwriter Bocchi Boromaru, the barrage of art terms spanning from the Jomon period to the present is truly impressive.

With an overwhelming amount of information that could even help with test prep and lyrics filled with a passionate desire to carry culture into the future, it sparks listeners’ intellectual curiosity.

It’s an outstandingly entertaining pop tune that’s perfect not only as a study companion but also as an ideal gateway into the world of art.

When it comes to masterpieces that sharply cry out the anxiety and loneliness of adolescence, this is the one! It’s an early signature work by Yutaka Ozaki, released as a single in March 1984 after being re-cut from the classic 1983 album “Seventeen’s Map.” There’s also the well-known story that producer Akira Sudo drew inspiration from a novel when choosing the title.

The lyrics, which portray those unplaceable emotions everyone harbors and the search for a place to belong, resonated deeply with young people living a wild, rebellious life.

It’s a soul-stirring track that I especially want those brimming with overflowing energy, or those about to confront something, to hear.

A powerful UVERworld track that inspires with a bold message: don’t set your own limits.

Released in June 2008 on a double A-side single that included “Gekidou,” this song was also chosen as the support anthem for Pocari Sweat’s “Bukatsu no Tenshi” campaign.

Its catchy, sing-along melody and exhilarating sense of speed are irresistible.

It’s also included on the album AwakEVE, capturing the band’s momentum as they push toward the next stage.

When you feel crushed by mock exam results or daily pressure, it has the energy to fire you up—reminding you, “You can do more.” It’s an empowering anthem we hope every exam taker who wants to break their limits and seize success will listen to.
