Go beyond itKyūso Nekokami
I think their music, packed with a strong message, has something that lifts listeners’ spirits.
I highly recommend their music right now—not only to fans, but also to people who aren’t fans yet; I’d love for everyone to give it a listen at least once.
WanteD! WanteD!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
They’re currently all the rage, especially among teens.
Even at mini live shows, the way young people get into it is an incredible sight.
Their music radiates a strong energy—you can feel the power.
And precisely because you feel it, you can ride that power.
STAY TUNESuchmos
This is a hit song by Suchmos, a leading stylish band at the cutting edge of the times.
Based on Black music and weaving in various genres, its unique groove is captivating—perfect for junior high students who want to act a little more grown-up.
Explosive Pannier-santricot
This is a signature song by the band tricot, whose member Ikkyu—also well known as the vocalist of the recently buzzworthy band “Genie High”—belongs to.
I’d love for middle school girls who are getting interested in bands to know that rock isn’t just for men and that there are amazing musicians in girls’ bands.
Maplesupittsu
Spitz is a veteran band, but their soothing tempos and uniquely Spitz lyrical world resonate across generations, captivating listeners—especially women.
While many of their songs are well known among older audiences, there are plenty we’d love to pass on to the next generation, making them essential listening.
