Playboy syndromeyangusukinii
An impulsive rock tune portraying the loneliness and inner conflict of the modern playboy.
Created by Young Skinny, it was released digitally in April 2024 and was also selected as the theme song for the drama “Minato-ku Boys’ Calculated Life Notes.” It sharply depicts the unfulfilled vulnerability and emptiness of a man living freely.
Paired with a punkish sound, it pierces the hearts of urban youth.
Its scandalous music video also drew attention.
A track that will resonate with those troubled by love and relationships.
Belt it out at karaoke and blow away the haze in your heart.
world standardwāsuta
Wasshoi’s new song carries a message of embracing diverse values while cherishing your true self.
In a rapidly changing world, it conveys a stance of redefining what “standard” means and pursuing their own identity.
Scheduled for release in February 2025, the track celebrates the 10th anniversary of their debut.
The music video leaves a strong impression with the members dancing on sets inspired by locations around the world.
It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to keep moving forward without fearing change.
dancerVaundy
Vaundy’s “Odoriko” is a stylish, feel-good track that lets you sing along with the vibe of a true dancing girl.
Released in 2021, its music video features Nana Komatsu.
The lyrics paint scenes of a man and woman meeting, falling in love, and living life as they dance together.
While it’s mostly written from a male perspective, there’s a brief switch to a female point of view that’s worth noting.
It’s great to sing solo, and also perfect for a duet!
thought crimeYorushika
Yorushika’s song “Shisouhan” is officially declared to be plagiarized from George Orwell’s novel 1984.
It’s included on the 2020 album The Reminiscence.
While Yorushika is known for many breezy, exhilarating tracks, this song conveys a darker world that feels different from their usual style.
You could say it represents a new realm of possibilities that Yorushika has opened up.
Staying true to Yorushika’s essence yet sounding cool whether sung by a man or a woman, this track is a great choice—be sure to try it next time you go to karaoke!
Mr. Moonlightimase
This is a track by imase, notable for its dazzling brass sound that evokes jazz.
Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” it was released in July 2025.
The expressive vocals conjure a slightly bittersweet, romantic night.
The lyrics capture the inner conflicts of the protagonist who works at a hotel for assassins, and the way their heart changes through encounters with others.
Many listeners will likely find themselves drawn into this poignant world, where guilty feelings mingle with the warm emotion of caring for someone.
DRESSING ROOMnatori
Born in 2003, Natori began posting songs on TikTok in his teens, and his 2022 release “Overdose” became a massive viral hit that quickly raised his profile as a much-anticipated singer-songwriter.
Whether it’s a stylish city-pop-inspired track or an intense, rock-tinged number, his unique low register—rich with a distinctive allure—anchors his vocals and melodies, creating a world that’s unmistakably his.
For those who want to sing like Natori, I recommend “DRESSING ROOM,” released in February 2025.
It’s a chic track with a characteristically danceable, groovy production and sultry melodies—perfect for a nighttime drive.
Because the pitch sits low, it’s especially great for people who struggle with high notes and want to give it a try.
The rapid phrasing and the way the lyrics fit the melody, as well as the rhythmic feel, aren’t exactly easy, but if you listen to the original repeatedly and let both the melody and rhythm sink into your body, you’ll be well-prepared for the performance!
Ratpark feat. Kei SugawaraPEOPLE 1
“Ratpark feat.
Kei Sugawara,” which puts a duo’s chemistry to the test, is also highly recommended.
This is a collaboration between the rock band PEOPLE 1 and singer-songwriter Kei Sugawara.
Set to an intense sound, it channels anger and inner conflict toward the world.
A key feature of the track is how the vocals switch in slightly early handoffs and how callouts are timed to the other’s singing.
Because of that, it requires tighter coordination than a typical duet.
