Everyone is a heroAI
A ballad delivered by AI based on the tune of Oklahoma Mixer.
It’s a masterpiece whose lyrics—turning today’s reality on its head, where not everyone can be someone special—pierce the heart.
Because the original melody is so familiar, the words slip easily into the heart and quietly give you a push, helping you face forward.
Blue Springback number
Born from the self-deprecating idea that to an ex-girlfriend they were nothing more than a “back number,” back number’s first-ever song breaking away from the theme of getting dumped.
Even if striving with all your might looks ridiculous, it sings of the way people who live full-throttle carry themselves.
It’s a track that seems to reflect the band’s own half-life of struggles since their indie days.
Uguiutakariyushi 58
“Ukui” means “to give” in the Okinawan dialect, so the song’s title means “A Song to Give.” It was composed to cheer on people who are chasing their dreams.
Because not everything in their youth was rosy, the words of Maekawa, the tattooed bass vocalist, carry a weight that hits home—distinct from the kind of easy, cookie-cutter pep songs that can be dashed off without much thought.
comic bandyonseikyu
The self-proclaimed “tear-jerking” comic band Su-xing-cyu’s new signature song.
Their biggest hallmark is lyrics that view things from a uniquely different angle than other artists, and despite the name “comic band,” the quality is so high that you can’t help but get fired up as you listen.
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze

Plenty of people start dancing as soon as they hear the chorus.
