[Mass-production style] Cute Jirai-kei! Compilation of popular Japanese songs

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.
A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

There’s a term in Japanese: “mass-produced girls.”

It refers to girls who follow trends—wearing similar styles of clothing and doing similar makeup.

In particular, it’s often used for those who go for things like “cute, pink-based fashion” and “loose, fluffy curled hair.”

In short, young people are sharing the things that “everyone likes.”

So this time, I’d like to introduce the music genre these mass-produced girls love: “mass-produced tracks.”

Every one of them is irresistibly cute.

By the time you finish reading, you won’t be able to escape this world either!

Mai Ujita’s “Onna no Ko” is characterized by its sentimental, slightly mysterious vibe.

The song voices uniquely feminine struggles like “feeling like you have to be cute” and “being tired of trying to be cute.” Centered on TikTok, Ujita is a multi-creator who handles choreography and even music video production, and she writes her own lyrics.

Many girls will likely relate to her candid words.

The song’s tone is melancholic, and it’s a recommended listen when you’re feeling foggy or stuck—it might just lighten your mood a bit!
