That’s why I recommend this single released in December 2022.

The glamorous melody and her warm voice leave a strong impression, making it perfect for a holy night spent with your partner.

This is a song by Mao Daichi, a former Takarazuka Revue star who has remained at the forefront of stage and screen for many years.
Written and composed by Yoshitaka Minami, it features an urban sound tinged with a jazzy flair that leaves a strong impression.
It was included on her first album, “SHE’S A LADY,” released in April 1980, as well as the 1988 album “Mao Daichi BEST.” The song evokes a lovely world that feels like a quiet nighttime moment spent with a capricious cat.
Her richly expressive vocals—honed on the stage—bring out the song’s playful sophistication and subtle allure.
It’s a piece you’ll want to relax with at the end of the day, favorite drink in hand.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a chic cat-themed tune that exudes a mature, effortless charm.

This is a song by Mayumi Kojima that combines a unique sense of swing with the melancholy of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
It’s included on the album “My name is blue,” released in September 2001.
The track overlays emotions sedimented in the depths of the heart and memories that suddenly resurface with the image of a “black cat.” It sings of the ache of past thorns pricking the chest and the undying passion that persists nonetheless.
Loved on stage in evolving forms, it also received a newly recorded version capturing the atmosphere of the time on the 2007 best-of compilation.
It’s a perfect piece for facing your own heart in the stillness of night.
That grown-up mood—suggesting a cat’s gaze with not only sweetness but a hint of poison—is simply irresistible, isn’t it?

It’s a fast-paced rock number that makes full use of the style where every member of Otokogumi takes lead vocals.
The lyrics depict breaking free from the status quo and looking toward tomorrow with hope, carrying a powerful energy that really pushes listeners forward.
It was also used as a CM song for a watch brand, and its urbane sound coming from TV left a strong impression.
