The drama-style music video featuring the members in yukata is also a must-see.

Magical girls cannot be saved.yume.
This is a work by yume., built on an ultra-fast beat around the concept of an “unsalvageable girl.” The piece will be released in July 2025.
The lyrics depict a girl who, though burdened with a mission, realizes there’s no happiness waiting beyond it.
The melody line conveys a sense of impatience and nihilism, and before you know it, you find yourself empathizing.
If you listen when you’re weighed down by a sense of futility, it will feel like it speaks for you—and it’ll hit you hard.

The determination to never look away for even a moment and to etch each precious instant into one’s heart is so earnest it almost hurts, tightening your chest.
You can feel the protagonist, who shakes off all hesitation and looks only forward, gently giving you a push from behind.
It’s a song that becomes a reassuring ally whenever you’re about to start something new.

mild daysHitsuji Bungaku
Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece female band, and it seems that vocalist Moeka Shiozuka mainly writes the lyrics and composes.
The new song “mild days” also features beautifully tight harmonies! What seems like the B section might actually be the chorus, but from there she sings an octave higher, layering softly, and the atmosphere shifts all at once.
She also sings upper harmonies while taking the line an octave up, so at first you might not notice and end up singing the whole thing an octave higher.
But if you practice carefully while listening closely to the vocals, you’ll pick up the knack quickly! The song is also on the shorter side at about three minutes, and the repeating melody makes it easy to memorize.
From the suite MATSURI “NIPPON”Hakasé Tarō
It’s a passionate, large-scale piece where the timbres of the shakuhachi and shamisen blend with a grand orchestra.
The way it builds heat from quiet passages is like a Japanese festival shifting from a solemn ritual to a lively celebration.
Just listening makes your heart naturally dance and your spirit soar.
This track is included on Taro Hakase’s album “JAPONISM,” released in August 2013, and was also selected as a campaign song by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Japan Tourism Agency, helping to showcase the appeal of Japan.
It might be perfect when you want to get fired up and dive into something, or when you want to refresh your mood with expansive music.
