Imaginary Forestjin
This song, produced by Jin, who was born in Hokkaido in 1990, is used as a theme for an anime for which he also wrote the script.
The part of the song that uses the Canon progression is the chorus.
Although the Canon progression doesn’t usually evoke a very intense image, depending on the rhythm and melody, it’s sometimes used in climactic choruses.
It’s impressive how the Canon progression can work both gently and intensely like this.
That’s probably why so many songs are composed using the Canon progression.
Climinal SpaceUorupisukātā
Vocalist Wolpis Carter captivates listeners with an overwhelming high-tone voice.
“Climinal Space,” written specifically for this release by Vocaloid producer Satsuki, is a thrilling track that portrays the feeling of being cornered by layered lies.
Released as a digital single in December 2025, it features an aggressive sound with guitarist Hiromoto Hiraishin, and a structure where razor-edge high notes collide with the instrumentation—it’s fantastic.
It’s a tense rock tune that’s perfect for blasting away everyday frustration when you need a cathartic reset.
The City Where Whales Fallrokudenashi
An epic number whose overwhelming sense of scale and delicate scenic detail strikes straight to the heart.
It’s a track by Rokudenashi, a project featuring vocalist Ninjin and a team of cutting-edge creators, which opened their second album, “Rokka,” released in December 2025.
Lyrics and composition are by Mafumafu.
From a breath-stealing hush to a sudden, panoramic burst, the dynamic progression makes your chest tighten with emotion.
The sound—where the night sky seems to melt into the sea—and the grounded, resonant vocals convey feelings of loneliness and urgent longing with painful clarity.
It offers an immersive experience, as if you were watching a single feature film.
Two People in a Fading CitySazan Ōrusutāzu
This is a gently melancholic song that evokes a twilight cityscape and seeps into the heart.
It’s included on the album “THANK YOU SO MUCH,” released in March 2025 by Southern All Stars, the rock band that has led the Japanese music scene for many years.
The lyrics portray a man and woman in a delicate, not-quite-lovers relationship, with only time slipping by—a sense of helplessness conveyed through Keisuke Kuwata’s tenacious, resonant vocals.
The track also serves as the theme song for the film “Sunflower on the Board,” enveloping the story in a lingering afterglow.
I especially recommend it to anyone seeking a ballad that quietly stays by your side at the end of the day when you’re alone, or when you’re carrying feelings that are hard to put into words.
Climinal SpaceSatsuki
This work is a reimagined version of a song originally written for the vocalist Wolpis Carter, now reconstructed as a twin-vocal track featuring Chisey and Yuki Kaai.
Released in December 2025, the piece is a hard-hitting number that portrays a psyche cornered by piling lies, using crime as a metaphor.
The more self-justifications accumulate, the tighter the noose feels—an oppressive tension delivered through urgent melodies and rapid-fire lyrics.
Put it on when you want an experience that shakes your brain.

Asaka, who has been active for a decade as an anisong singer in the anime and game music scene.
Released in November 2025, this work is a Christmas song produced as the second installment of a three-month consecutive digital release project celebrating the 10th anniversary of her debut.
The lyrics were written by Asaka herself, weaving in winter imagery such as city illuminations, powdery snow, and the sound of bells, while expressing feelings for the special moments spent with a loved one.
With a parade-like, lavish sound layered with her warm vocals, the track shimmers with both sparkle and coziness.
The music video also features a dog energetically dashing about, adding a heartwarming touch that expands the song’s world.
It’s a Reiwa-era holiday song perfect not only as BGM to color a holy night with your partner or family, but also whenever you want to feel the warmth of winter.
