Its powerful, resonant melody and vocals give a strong push to all who are chasing their dreams.

Take this! Telepathy!maharājiyan
Singer-songwriter Maharajan, known for his distinctive look of a suit paired with a turban, has written his first-ever anime theme song: “Kurae! Telepathy,” the opening theme for the anime Tomo-chan Is a Girl! Its driving beat and catchy melody create a refreshing sound.
Midway through the track, there’s also a chiptune-like synth section that really evokes the feel of “telepathy.” In addition to a music video produced in an ’80s anime style, there’s also a collaboration version with Tomo-chan Is a Girl!, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out both!

“I’m afraid of tomorrow” — many people can relate to this feeling.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Mizui, this piece was released in March 2025.
While the sound arrangement feels light and airy, the lyrics are filled with backward-looking emotions.
As we grow up, the self-denial that swells in our hearts and the negative feelings are vividly portrayed.
And yet, we still can’t let go of hope for tomorrow… You understand that feeling too, don’t you? On lonely nights, this song speaks for what’s in your heart.

Classic MashupRan Ran × Tsuchiya Tao × Soshina
A mashup doesn’t have to be limited to just two pieces.
With that in mind, I’d like to introduce the “Classical Mashup.” This is a single track created by pianist Lang Lang, Tao Tsuchiya, and Soshina to commemorate the release of “100 Classics of Rassic.” In it, the three of them each play different classical masterpieces on the piano.
What’s even more astonishing is that 24 pieces are mashed up within about five minutes.
It’s not just combinations—the music keeps changing, offering a curious, ever-shifting listening experience.
Trash ClassroomRosu
A track that depicts the clamor of the classroom and the march of troubled students.
Ross’s shape-shifting vocals fuse strikingly with bon-odori rhythms and a four-on-the-floor beat.
It delves deeply into a teacher’s inner conflict and sense of powerlessness, as well as the need for self-reform, questioning the very essence of education.
Released in October 2022 and included on the album “Yoru no Tsudoe,” out in December 2024.
Recommended not only for those in education, but also for anyone who questions society or human relationships.
