juIne
Your ears will be captivated by the delicately constructed sound arrangement.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Ine, known for hits like “Lu:the” and “Great Filter,” the track was released in February 2024 and participated in the VOCALOID Collection 2024 TOP 100 ranking.
The whirl of tones, layered with a complexity beyond words, is something I’d love for you to experience firsthand.
It’s that refined of a work.
Another hallmark is the duet-like vocal approach sung by IA and Ine himself.
Highly recommended with headphones or earphones!
pure loveDate Yuta
Yuta Date, whose husky voice and big smile are his charm, made his major debut in 2012 under the production of Masao Sen.

Midway through life’s journeySatō Yoshito
You’ll be drawn in by its majestic tone.
“Life, Halfway Along the Road” is a song by Yoshito Sato from Yamagata Prefecture, released in December 2024.
It’s an enka piece that portrays life as it is, and as the song progresses, the feeling embedded in the lyrics—of moving toward one’s dreams—grows stronger, stirring the heart.
When you find yourself feeling reflective about life, this song will surely resonate.
Be sure to listen closely and take it all in!
Gentle WordsKōda Kumi
Released in 2003, this is a ballad about a painful love.
It was also used in a commercial for Sato Pharmaceutical’s “Stona.” The song portrays a woman’s inner conflict: she wants to support her lover’s dreams, yet fears she’ll be left behind if she does.
As a ballad, the tempo lets you follow the melody without rushing, and the limited vocal range makes it easy to sing.
Although it’s a love ballad, its calm atmosphere also makes it a suitable choice for adult listeners.
Jump to the BreezeKōda Kumi
This track stands out with a summery Latin house sound born from the fusion of Tetsuya Komuro’s musical talent and Kumi Koda’s captivating vocals.
Released digitally on August 2, 2024, it was produced as the theme song celebrating the 6th anniversary of the Chinese release of the smartphone game Azur Lane.
Marking their first collaboration in 22 years, the song more than meets fans’ expectations.
With lyrics that evoke refreshing seaside scenes and heartfelt feelings for a loved one, it’s the perfect pick for moments when you want to feel free and uplifted—like summer drives or beachside BBQs.
A woman’s heartYashiro Aki
Onnagokoro, known as one of Aki Yashiro’s early masterpieces.
Although it falls under the enka category, it leans more toward a blues-style kayōkyoku.
As a result, instances of kobushi are very few; aside from one spot at the end of the chorus, there isn’t anything resembling a typical kobushi.
Even that kobushi at the end of the chorus only shifts by a single scale degree, so its difficulty as a kobushi is quite low.
For those who enjoy somber, brooding songs, this might be right up your alley.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
queenHachiōji P
You’ll be completely captivated by its majestic yet dark sound arrangement! Created by Hachioji-P, this piece is the 3rd-anniversary song for “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku,” released in March 2024.
Hatsune Miku’s powerful vocals pair perfectly with the edgy synths.
The lyrics, which depict a ruler-like persona, further solidify the worldbuilding, leaving a strong impression on listeners.
It’s perfect as driving music, too!
