To be honest, when I first heard this song, I was surprised and thought, “Is this really The Checkers?” For a young idol group to sing a cappella at this level is a feat that takes exceptional skill.

In terms of vibe, it feels like a love song that would fit well around Christmas.

This is a song included on the CD that was distributed for free at the Osaka show of their 5th anniversary event, “Alaskanize Rock Fes.” Set to an intense, straightforward rock sound, it conveys a sense of instability, as suggested by the title.

This is Dramatic Alaska’s second single.

It’s a track with a pleasant, upbeat rhythm and a memorable, catchy chorus.

The music video, which cleverly captures the song’s sense of repetition, is both cool and entertaining.

The brief break right before the chorus kicks in is startling in a good way.

It’s a lively comic song that was aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta.” It’s the kind of tune that makes you chuckle without thinking.

Anyway, there’s an incredibly strong grandpa in it.

If you had a grandpa like that, you’d have nothing to fear! Give it a listen sometime.

When I hear “bark at something-or-other,” I can’t help but think of ‘Bark at the Sun,’ but among fans this Moonlight Shadow is also well known as a song produced by the hugely popular composer Tetsuya Komuro.

People were raving about how brilliantly the song develops, but it’s fair to say that Akina, who sings it so superbly, is even more wonderful.

I really love this song.

It’s a great song with profound lyrics like “a lion has its own role,” and a poignant melody that leaves an impression.

The story-driven music video, showcasing the acting talents of Nanase Nishino and Yumi Wakatsuki, is a masterpiece.

It also features a kissing scene between the two, which became a hot topic.

It’s a unit song by Erika Ikuta and Sayuri Matsumura, and as the title suggests, they basically sing it with a “poker face,” but the occasional smiles they show during live performances are adorable.

This song is also fun with call-and-response parts, so be sure to check out videos that include the calls.
