Fanfare for GI (Kanto)sugiyama kouichi
Among the fanfares played before horse races, this is the piece used for G1 races at the Kanto tracks—Tokyo Racecourse and Nakayama Racecourse.
It’s a famous fanfare also known for being composed by Koichi Sugiyama, the composer of the main theme for the game Dragon Quest.
As pre-race music, it’s a short piece, but it vividly conveys the anticipation for the start of the race and the gallant presence of the racehorses within its brief length.

Well then, kidnapping.suzume no me
Suzumenome, the creator behind “Ja, Yuukai” (“Well then, Kidnapping”), has breathed new life into the VOCALOID scene with a completely fresh sensibility.
With a unique style, they free listeners from the everyday and lead them on an imaginative musical journey.
Seamlessly fusing with Kafu’s richly expressive vocals, the song fills us with surprise and delight.
It’s a track that radiates pure passion and energy for music, and it stands as a highly artistic work.
Gibrasurii
This track offers a sharp perspective on fashion and consumer culture.
Released by Surii in June 2022, it features a distinctive, downbeat sound arrangement.
The lyrics are laced with irony toward modern society, using fast fashion as a theme to portray ambiguity and the wavering of ethics.
If you’re looking to try a more laid-back song, this is definitely a great choice!
19 years oldchakura
When it comes to songs that deepen the bond between band members and let everyone in the venue have fun together, “19-sai” comes to mind.
It was included on the rock band Chakra’s 2023 album “Late-Night Rates, Twenty Percent Extra,” a group known for songs that center on youthful love stories.
With lyrics that express the raw feelings unique to one’s teens and a warm melody, the song conjures images of everyday life.
Its simple structure makes it approachable for beginners, too.
We also recommend having all members sing the chorus phrase together over the rhythmic performance.
It’s a rock number that portrays a somewhat wistful, sweet-and-sour youth.
Life Dream Voyagetsuge yuuji
Set against the Sea of Japan, this song about the voyage of life features powerful lyrics and a wistful melody that have captured many listeners’ hearts.
Yuji Tsuge’s rugged voice symbolically portrays a life sailing toward dreams amid rough seas, powerfully singing of a man’s strong will and determination in the face of hardship.
Released in October 2024 to mark the 20th anniversary of Tsuge’s debut, it’s a quintessential enka number.
Combining the genre’s trademark strength and melancholy, the piece strongly embodies the spirit of “fall down seven times, get up eight,” resonating deeply with Japanese listeners.
Its message aligns with values in Japanese society that prize endurance and challenge, making it a song that speaks widely to its audience.
If it isn’t meninjin
I really want you to watch Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Calorie Mate moving, epic commercial “Today, I Became Captain.” It’s a quintessential youth story packed with the joy and struggles of a student newly chosen as club captain.
After watching, you’ll surely think, “The energy of youth is amazing.” The perfect song for this short film is Ninzin’s “Only I Can.” The lyrics—desperately striving to fulfill one’s responsibilities—tie in with the commercial and are truly tear-jerking.
Lines like “Someday I’ll understand the reason everyone chose me” are fiery, youth-filled phrases that will leave your heart full!
18.5 years oldharuna.
The song Haruna, a Vocaloid Producer, released as a Project Sekai NEXT submission is “18.5 Years Old.” In this work, it portrays a woman, seemingly a student, recalling the man she loves.
It appears that while the woman and man were close, they never actually started dating.
That bittersweet situation is heart-wrenching.
Additionally, the adult-evoking items and title that appear in the song, as well as the music video, convey an atmosphere of a child growing into an adult.
