Many of these tracks feature sentimental words like “moshi” (if) and “mou” (already/no longer), so it can be nice to think about the lyrics’ meaning or imagine the story as you sing.

montageNEW!Makihara Noriyuki
This is the 17th single, released on October 29, 1997, and it served as the theme song for the NTV drama “Koi no Katamichi Kippu.” The lyrics, which liken the psychology of longing for someone you love to police composite photos, are distinctive, and the song is highly regarded for portraying the genuine romantic feelings of an introverted man.
With its light, lively sound and a slightly higher starting pitch, it’s best if you can lift your eyebrows firmly from the very beginning and sing with clear accents.
Imagine small, quick movements, and if you can get your whole body into the rhythm, it will be excellent—so try doing that right from the intro.
If your timing lines up, you’ll surely find it easier to sing.
The Mole and the BongoNEW!Za Kuromaniyonzu
Written and composed by Hiroto Kōmoto, this track’s marching, choppy rhythm really amps you up.
Released as a single in November 2021, it was the fourth installment in a six-month consecutive singles project.
It’s also included on the album SIX KICKS ROCK&ROLL.
The simple, raw, untamed sound is insanely good.
It’s a rock number I recommend when you want a boost without overthinking it.

A soul-stirring masterpiece by Hannya, featuring guest appearances by GADORO and CHICO CARLITO.
It sings of a blazing drive to push ever forward without setting one’s own limits.
The mic relay where their words clash is breathtaking, and just listening makes you feel power welling up from within.
This track is included on the album “Shin Ohayou Nippon,” released in August 2023, arriving 19 years after his landmark 2004 work.
It’s a song that captures Hannya’s way of life—continuing to “update” himself even after reaching veteran status.
An anthem that gives you courage when you feel like giving up or want to take one more step.
If you need energy for tomorrow, give it a listen.

Released in April 2025 as ≠ME’s 10th single, it’s the group’s first double A-side and topped the Oricon weekly chart.
A bittersweet yet beautiful medium-tempo ballad that captures the feelings of the “many others” who can’t be the protagonists of a fairy tale.
Center Nanaka Tomita’s expressively rich vocals convey the aching emotions straight to the listener.
A worldview that spotlights the stories outside the limelight—pure Sashihara at her finest.
When your heart aches from unrequited love, this song will quietly stay by your side.
Qiu & Kagepiinata
A ferocious track that fuses lyrics peppered with math terms like “QED” and “point P” with electro sound on the verge of collapse.
Crafted by Peanata, it features a worldview that captures both the frenzy of devotion to one’s oshi and the sudden waves of emptiness—sure to strike a deep chord with listeners living in the present.
Released in December 2025, the song has made a big splash, with the MV surpassing 100,000 views in just a few days.
Following “Tetrodotoxin” and “Acute Love Addiction,” it’s another irresistibly addictive number featuring Kasane Teto.
The MV—where visuals and sound are perfectly in sync—pairs with a rhythm of tightly punched kicks and snares and is a must-see.
Perfect for nights when you want to drown in a flood of sound.

The lyrics, which trace feelings shifting from night to morning, create a curious sense of elation alongside the danceable track.

It’s a track we highly recommend for quickly switching your mood or boosting concentration while you work.
