A live performance at the stadium followed in November.

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!
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.
You may discover something new each time you listen.
Kushiro 5:35 a.m. departure to NemuroMioka Shota
Shota Mitsuoka is an enka singer from Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Influenced by his grandparents who ran a karaoke cafe, he began singing enka from a young age, and as a first-year high school student he won the NHK Nodo Jiman competition held in Yokohama, Kanagawa.
After continuing to hone his craft, he caught the attention of Hiroshi Itsuki and made his major debut as an enka singer in 2015.
His charm lies in his rich, mature vocals.
While his voice itself has the youthful timbre of someone in their 20s or 30s, his singing style exudes the poignant depth of a seasoned enka performer in their 50s.
He is 29 at the time of writing, but he will turn 30 on November 30, so we have included him here!
