Hill Where You Can See DugongsCocco
This is the 14th single by singer-songwriter Cocco, who drew attention for the striking contrast between her wide-ranging musical style—from loud sounds to acoustic—and her shocking lyrics that verge on madness.
Serving as the theme song for the documentary “The Sea Where Mermaids Live: The People of Okinawa Living with Dugongs,” it was created in 2007 for a mother-and-child pair of dugongs that appeared in Oura Bay, Okinawa.
The gentle vocals and ensemble, evocative of the Okinawan sky, are sure to relax you both on the journey and at your destination.
It’s a song that conveys a great love—one we especially hope you’ll listen to when traveling to Okinawa.
a game of cat and mouseChatto Monchī
This is the 16th single by Chatmonchy, a rock band from Tokushima Prefecture known for bringing broad recognition to the presence of girls’ bands in the J-pop scene since the 2000s.
Released as a double A-side with “Kokoro to Atama,” the song opens with a lively piano and striking choral work—an instantly catchy introduction.
Its cute melody rides a buoyant shuffle beat that feels like it could add a splash of color to any trip.
It’s a track that moves between pop and cool, one you can listen to over and over without getting tired of it.
Life Travelogue3B LAB.☆S
When you want to head out on a spontaneous trip with a Seishun 18 Ticket without deciding your destination, this song is perfect.
It even mentions tunnels and tickets, so I hope you’ll listen to it while riding the train.
3B LAB.☆ got its name from the fact that the original three members had type B blood (three B’s) and from “lab” as in laboratory.
Kenji Okahira, formerly of the duo 19, serves as the lead vocalist.
Night FlightEXILE ATSUSHI
Singer EXILE ATSUSHI, who also shines as a frontman of EXILE with his cool looks and sweet vocals.
His digital single “Night Flight,” chosen as the image song for Tokyo Calendar × Mt.
Rainier’s “TOKYO Caramel Love Story,” stands out for its stylish, floating ensemble.
The lyrics, which let you picture someone mustering the courage to invite a person they’ve long struggled to confess to, seem to resonate with the uplifting feeling of a journey by airplane.
It’s a heartfelt number whose gentle melody warmly embraces the listener.
TRAVELING GARGOYLEsutoreitenaa
This song is Straightener’s major-label debut single.
It was back when they were still a two-member lineup with Horie and Shinpei—so nostalgic.
This track has more of Straightener’s breezy, refreshing vibe than they do now, and doesn’t it feel kind of epic? I think it’s perfect for the sense of freedom you get while traveling.
