ONE N’ ONLY／ “WARAiNA” Music Video

A hyper smile song that radiates an overwhelming euphoria and a dazzling parade vibe.

It’s the title track of the second single released in April 2026 by ONE N’ ONLY, a dance and vocal group from Stardust Promotion.

Blending J-pop with Latin music, its festive, positive theme brightens the hearts of listeners.

A pop tune recommended for moments when you want to smile or fully embrace a liberating mood.

StardustNEW!Ofisharu Higedan Dism

Stardust

A song by Official HIGE DANDism written as the theme for the TBS Sunday drama “GIFT,” which began airing in April 2026.

Created in response to the drama’s themes of conflict, renewal, and the bonds between companions, it carries a warm message that evokes hope beyond setbacks.

It’s a reassuring number that gives a push to people living earnestly day by day and to those who keep moving forward even as they run into obstacles.

SAVE YOUR HEARTNEW!Snow Man

Snow Man ‘SAVE YOUR HEART’ Music Video

SAVE YOUR HEART, released by Snow Man in April 2026.

It’s one of the tracks on their triple A-side single, chosen as the theme song for the drama I Fell in Love with a Terminator, starring Ryota Miyadate.

With a futuristic theme that likens love to a program, the song expresses a determination to protect a loved one, delivered over a cool, edgy dance beat.

Perfectly matching the world of the drama—a romantic comedy between a human and an android—this track is a great fit.

Be sure to enjoy the sharp, dynamic performance in the music video as well!

When flyingNEW!Vaundy

When flying

Released on April 12, 2026, “Tobu Toki” was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Twins in the Yomi.” Created as a counterpart to the ending theme sung by yama, the song portrays the determination to move forward despite carrying pain and vulnerability.

Vaundy’s characteristic word choices and an arrangement that evokes a sense of ascent are also striking.

It’s an emotional number that we especially recommend to anyone ready to take a new step forward.

levitationNEW!Kitanitatsuya

levitation

Released in April 2026, this work was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE.” Its worldview—depicting a profound sense of loneliness and a fervent desire to float just a little above the crushing weight of reality—closely mirrors the anime’s story.

Experience for yourself the distinctive atmosphere created by the dark, alternative ensemble and its catchy melodies.

For real☆Why though?☆I dunno, thoughNEW!Monaki

Monaki – Honma yade☆ Nande ya nen☆ Shiran kedo (Official Music Video)

Monaki is a male kayō chorus group produced by Kazuyoshi Sakai.

Their debut single, “Honma yade☆Nandeyanen☆Shirankedo,” released in April 2026, is an uptempo number with Kansai-dialect phrases that stick in your head.

Its sound blends approachability with the high energy of a tokusatsu-style song, and it features an irresistibly singable melody line.

I think it’s perfect for getting hyped with friends at karaoke.

Take It BackReiko

REIKO ‘Take It Back (Prod. Sam is Ohm)’ Music Video

REIKO’s new track features an irresistibly groovy beat that reimagines ’90s US R&B for today.

Riding on her supple yet powerful vocals, it delivers a message of freeing yourself from the expectations of society and those around you.

Released in April 2025 and produced by Sam is Ohm, this song marks the beginning of REIKO’s “R&B Trilogy” and stands as a pivotal first chapter.

It’s the kind of song that gently gives you a push when you want to boost your self-esteem.
