The curtain risesNEW!back number
It’s a grand ballad written as the theme song for the film TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room – Nankai Mission.
While confronting one’s own weaknesses and inner conflicts, it sings of the resolve to head toward the people who matter most.
Shimizu Iyori’s powerful yet delicate vocals and the rich, weighty sound produced by Takeshi Kobayashi sink deeply into the heart.
Released in July 2025, the song mirrors the movie’s story and powerfully stirs listeners’ emotions.
Many will surely find courage in the image of taking a step forward despite fear and anxiety.
Why not listen to it right before a big challenge or when you need to steel yourself? It’s a masterpiece full of kindness, like a warm hand gently pushing you forward.
festivalNEW!Fuji Kaze
If there’s a Fujii Kaze track that encapsulates that unique blend of buoyancy and festivity, it has to be this one.
Its timbres reminiscent of traditional Japanese instruments intertwine with a modern beat, creating a mysterious pull that draws listeners in.
The lyrics highlight the importance of letting go of attachment, unfolding a worldview that likens life to a “festival.” Released in March 2022 as a pre-single from the album LOVE ALL SERVE ALL, it didn’t have a tie-in, but the music video—shot at Rinkokaku, an Important Cultural Property in Gunma Prefecture—became a major talking point.
The melody’s contours aren’t overly dramatic, and the comfortable groove makes it quite singable for karaoke.
Give it a listen when you want to reset your mind away from daily noise, or on a night when you want to feel a sense of togetherness with friends.
Matches and PeanutsNEW!Sakanakushon
This highly addictive track beautifully fuses the wistful charm of Showa-era kayōkyoku with a body-swaying disco beat.
“Match to Peanuts,” included on Sakanaction’s double album 834.194 released in June 2019, is said to have been crafted by vocalist Ichiro Yamaguchi with the sensibilities of 1970s music and old manga in mind.
Its lyrics, depicting the dampness and dryness that linger in a late-night room, combine with the repetitive rhythm to create a strange sensation that seems to seep into the listener’s senses.
While it may not have a flashy tie-in, it’s an essential track that shapes the flow of the album.
This piece is perfectly suited for those sleepless nights when you want to quietly sink into your thoughts, or when you’re in the mood for something a little uncanny.
MacBethiaNEW!Soshiyaru·Tension
A three-piece band that tore through the late-1980s scene with the heft of synthesizers and organ as their weapons, and a distinctive guitar-less lineup.
They debuted in 1989 with the album “Macbethia,” drawing attention for a sound that fused thrilling, ELP-esque keyboard work with Japanese-style lyrical melodies.
Keyboardist Nobuo Endo’s classical yet aggressive playing is breathtaking, and together with bassist Masahiko Ota’s wistful vocals, they construct a dramatic sonic world.
The two albums they left on Made in Japan Records are still hailed as masterpieces of symphonic rock.
For those who want to revel in keyboard-driven, technically masterful ensemble playing and heart-piercing melodic beauty, this band is irresistible.
Magic TouchNEW!King&Prince
Unlike the group’s classic idol style, this track—one of the title songs from their 7th single “Magic Touch / Beating Hearts,” released in May 2021—made waves by boldly featuring lyrics entirely in English.
World-renowned dancer Melvin Timtim handled the choreography, making it a fully fledged dance number with a cool beat and a sultry vibe.
It’s also included on the album “Re:Sense” and the best-of album “Mr.5.” The English pronunciation and rhythm can be tricky, so you’ll need practice to nail it at karaoke—but when you hit it just right, it looks incredibly cool.
This work showcases a new side of the group; feel the groove and sing it with cool confidence!

Mazy NightNEW!King&Prince
This is a single released in June 2020 as the theme song for the drama “Miman Keisatsu: Midnight Runner,” starring Kento Nakajima and Sho Hirano.
The lyrics, which depict the struggles and friendships of young people facing challenges—echoing the story set at a police academy—really hit home.
The music video drew attention for featuring what’s said to be the most difficult choreography in the group’s history, but the melody itself sits in a relatively low range, so many male singers may find it easy to sing.
It was a hit that sold over 500,000 copies in its first week, so it’s extremely well-known.
With its cool, exhilarating sound, it’s perfect for energizing a crowd or for moments when you want to keep things sharp and stylish.
Be sure to check out the choreography and try performing it at karaoke!
My respectNogizaka 46
Released as the lead track from their fifth album “My respect,” which came out in January 2026, this work ambitiously encapsulates the group’s journey and current place through the word “respect.” The melody by Kazuma Kawata and others is refined yet conveys a strong sense of determination.
It’s a moving number perfectly suited to the dawn of a new era, one that resonates as we witness them embrace their history while stepping into the future.
