[2026] A Compilation of Classic J-POP Songs About Makeup [Japanese Music] (21–30)
Sweet Temptation DangerousBakusute Sotokanda Itchōme
The thickness or thinness of makeup can serve as a barometer of youthfulness, and this song stands out for its lyrics that charge ahead with the vigor of youth that only needs a light touch of makeup.
Expressions about makeup and manicure appear throughout the lyrics, giving it a distinctly girlish feel.
makeupsekiguchi yuki
This song, steeped in a dark, noir, heavy atmosphere, dramatically shifts its performance between the intro and the chorus, offering two distinct pleasures in one.
The lyrics, which depict makeup as a means of struggling through suffering, are backward-looking yet brimming with energy.

Happy Merry² X’masFurappu Gāruzu Sukūru
It’s a cheerful, heart-thumping happy Christmas song.
The charming lyrics say that after putting on makeup that shines even brighter than a Christmas tree, the finishing touch to that makeup is the winter scenery itself.
The adorable voices of the four singers are also a must-hear.
WOMAN WOMANDADARAY
As you’d expect from Enon Kawatani as both lyricist and composer, it’s melodious with a distinctive atmosphere that matches the fluttering, light vocals.
While depicting a shrewd woman who adorns herself with makeup and cherry-picks the good parts of life, it still weaves in a faint sadness—masterfully done.
Enon Kawatani, splendid work.
KITAKU BEATSFurederikku
When you’re putting on mascara, the face you see in the mirror can look a bit goofy, but from a third-person perspective the gesture feels lush and full of sensual allure.
This sexy track captures that mood: from the act of “makeup” that wraps you in color, it cascades into the sultry plea, “I don’t want to go home tonight.”
All Around The World feat. Asako TokiG.Rina
The vocals have a unique floating feel, and the somewhat nostalgic melody line gives it a stylish, contemporary vibe.
It’s striking how she sheds makeup and high heels—items that make up her city-girl identity—and returns to her natural self.
August SnowcapMEME
It’s a refreshing yet romantic song that likens applying makeup—layering various colors on the face—to the days spent with someone precious who brightens your everyday life.
What’s intriguing is the tone of the piece: while it evokes a sense of summer, it also conveys the crisp clarity of winter.
