Become a ghostNEW!Kakizaki Yūta

Yuta Kakizaki – Become a Ghost / yuta kakizaki – Ghost

The crystalline guitar sound and the almost vanishingly delicate vocals leave a strong impression.

It conveys a sense of loneliness as if you’ve become transparent and disappeared, yet also a heartfelt wish to stay close to someone you cherish.

This is a digital-only single released by Yuta Kakizaki in September 2025.

From songwriting and composition to playing all the instruments himself, this work distills his multifaceted talent.

It’s also intriguing that it has garnered cross-border support, ranking 17th on the UK J-Pop chart.

There’s nothing flashy here, but it overflows with a gentle warmth that quietly stays by your side, and every word is sure to resonate in your heart.

Highly recommended for quiet nights alone or when you want to filter out the haze in your mind.

Please give it a listen.

I want to become invisible.NEW!Kakizaki Yūta

Yuta Kakizaki – I Want to Be Transparent / yuta kakizaki - I Want to Be Invisible

I’d like to recommend this piece, released in November 2022, to anyone searching for a quiet, snow-like accumulation of heartache.

Its world, spun from understated words and melodies that portray self-loathing and resignation so deep you wish you could disappear, grips the listener’s chest.

The soft tone of the electric piano over a medium tempo and the key change that arrives in the latter half beautifully capture emotional tremors, while also conveying a gentleness that seems to lean close to a pained heart.

It’s a densely crafted track by Yuta Kakizaki, included on the album “I loved you,” born from a home-recording style in which he handles everything himself.

Give it a listen on a quiet night when you want to face yourself, or when you want to purify feelings you can’t put into words.

Even if it’s one of a kindNEW!kujira

Kujira – Even if it’s one of a kind

That sudden sense of loneliness, the impatience that comes from comparing yourself to others.

KujiRa’s “Even If I’m an Only One” gives voice to those feelings that have nowhere to go.

Released digitally in July 2025, the track is also included as the coupling song on the CD single featuring the opening theme for the anime “Shabake.” The lyrics, which capture fragments of contemporary life, and the light yet somehow wistful melody slip right into your heart.

We all have those nights when we worry we’ll never become anyone at all, don’t we? In those moments, KujiRa’s distinctive choice of words is sure to gently loosen a heart grown stiff.
