A superb pop number where two talents blend together.
This song commemorates the 35th anniversary of Noriyuki Makihara’s debut and is a collaboration with Hanaregumi.
It was released in April 2025.
The theme explores the complex emotions of spring—hope and anxiety, the impermanence evoked by cherry blossoms, and a fluttering sense of excitement.
The warm, interwoven vocals create a harmony that’s simply mesmerizing.
Highly recommended when you want to sing something with a gently soothing vibe.
anticlockwiseAfter the Rain
After the Rain is a music duo formed by Soraru and Mafumafu, both of whom are popular vocalists.
Their song Anti-Clockwise, included on their second album Izanaware Traveler, features an impressive, fast-paced ensemble driven by piano and strings.
Mafumafu’s piercing high tones and Soraru’s cool mid-to-low register harmonize in a way that draws listeners into the song’s world.
With its driving rock sound and thrilling melody, it’s a cool track that’s sure to raise your spirits.
Ti AmoEXILE
It’s a gentle yet passionate track by EXILE that conveys the feeling of love quietly blazing up inside.
The song’s title and the flamenco guitar-infused sound evoke a sensual kind of affection.
And as you’d expect from EXILE, the layered vocals are a highlight—ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO’s powerful harmonies further amplify the passionate atmosphere.
While depicting unrequited love, it also expresses emotions growing larger, making it a song where you can feel a burning heart along with a bittersweet sense of yearning.
Instead of goodbyeTUBE × GACKT
This gem of a ballad features a beautiful harmony created by the collaboration between TUBE and GACKT that resonates deeply in the heart.
Their two voices gently sing about the universal themes of encounters and farewells.
The music video stars Yutaka Matsushige and Kenichi Endo, whose wordless drama delivers a profoundly moving performance.
Released in February 2024, the song was first unveiled at the FNS Music Festival in December 2023, touching the hearts of many.
It’s a heartwarming piece I recommend to those who have experienced parting with a loved one or who wish to express their gratitude to someone dear.
Winter TaleSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
When it comes to EXILE TRIBE, the basic unit structure is two main vocalists and multiple performers, right? J SOUL BROTHERS III follows that lineup too, so they’re perfect for duets between the two vocalists.
The quiet sound that evokes winter air and the vocals that seem to express pain are very striking.
Precisely because the song progresses at a relaxed pace, it really puts to the test how the story and the characters’ emotions are expressed.
Enka BrothersSaburō Kitajima · Ichirō Toba
This duet, released in January 2002, is a classic that powerfully celebrates male friendship and bonds.
The rich, resonant voices of Saburo Kitajima and Ichiro Toba—both towering figures in enka—vividly convey a man’s way of life and the hardships of existence.
The lyrics, depicting a scene of sharing drinks and talking heart to heart, capture the essence of enka.
The phrase “Men are all about enka” leaves a striking impression, resonating deeply with listeners.
Peaking at No.
26 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and remaining on the charts for 12 weeks, this song is a must-listen not only for enka fans but also for anyone moved by the bonds and camaraderie between men.
SHOOTING STARF-BLOOD
A gemlike rock ballad that gently sings a grand message brimming with dreams and hope.
The brother duo F-BLOOD weaves warm, encouraging vocals and a powerful band sound that resonates deep in the heart.
Universal themes are carefully depicted, such as the presence of love along a lonely journey of self-discovery and a positive attitude toward failures and setbacks in life.
Released in January 1998, the song was chosen as NHK’s broadcast theme for the Nagano Winter Olympics that same year, moving many listeners.
It is also included on the album “F-BLOOD” and has remained a key piece in their subsequent nationwide tours.
Highly recommended for those about to take a new step forward or when you want to cheer on someone striving toward an important goal.
