In the pocketkururi
This song, created as the theme for the Netflix series “Rilakkuma’s Theme Park Adventure,” conveys both inner strength and warmth.
It is included on the EP “Ai no Taiyo (Love’s Sun) EP.” Rather than aligning too closely with the story, the creators prioritized their own authentic touch, resulting in a piece whose straightforward melody and lyrics reach listeners’ emotions directly.
Why not give it a listen when you want to recall nostalgic scenes?
Wavesmiyumin
This is a song released in June 2024 by Miyumin, whose kindness-infused musicality soothes listeners’ hearts.
It’s a very delicate piece that likens the fluctuations of personal emotions to waves.
Set to a pop-rock sound, it portrays the anxieties and fears we face in life—and at the same time sings that, with you, that special someone, we can overcome them.
Miyumin’s clear, translucent vocals elevate the world of the song.
When you’re feeling down, this track will surely stay by your side.
Please take your time and give it a careful listen.

Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
Many listeners probably sense a poignant sadness, as well as the preciousness and fragility of life, in these lyrics.
The gentle, soothing voice of the female vocalist matches the song’s atmosphere perfectly, and it’s likely made many people want to listen again and again.
It’s a beautiful song that’s sure to make you cry.
Country RoadHirai Dai
One of its charms is the light, almost skipping feel of the melody.
It also showcases Dai Hirai’s dignified vocals beautifully.
Released in May 2024, this special track was created to coincide with his beach festival, “HIRAIDAI presents THE BEACH TRIP 2024.” The lyrics are wonderful, reminding us that just being alive has value, and they make you feel like, “Life shines this brightly!” It’s great for when you want to relax, and also recommended for those moments when you’ve somehow lost confidence.
DAY feat. PUNPEENulbarich
Centered around JQ and known for their sophisticated sound, Nulbarich teams up with rapper PUNPEE on this track, released in August 2023 and included on the album “The Roller Skating Tour.” The interplay between JQ’s soothing vocals and PUNPEE’s sardonic rap makes for an outstanding ensemble.
I hope you’ll take time to really listen to the lyrics, which question a more human form of love.
It’s a chic, mellow number that pairs perfectly with a contemplative nighttime walk through the city.
