Muchako’s Songmuchatanuki
This is a work released to the world by the gaming streamer Yukkuri Mucha-Tanuki.
It was released in October 2025.
It’s a character song featuring his own character, Muchako, as the protagonist, with lyrics and composition by Manmanmanzai and vocals by Hatsune Miku.
The lyrics carefully depict Muchako’s visuals and personality—even down to details like her sanpaku eyes and the absolute zone of her knee-high socks—set against the everyday routine of facing a display in a dark room.
The chorus is incredibly catchy and addictive, the kind that makes you want to hum along!
Moving PiecesTravis Japan
Having made their global debut and sparked buzz with a deal at the prestigious U.S.
label Capitol Records, Travis Japan return with their second digital single, released in May 2023—a cool track written by Poo Bear, also known for providing songs to Justin Bieber.
Recorded in Miami, the all-English vocals, paired with a modern sound, captivate listeners.
Choreography is by Travis Payne—the namesake of the group—whose refined dance performance reaches must-see quality as a visual work as well.
The song is also featured as the lead track on the EP “Moving Pieces EP,” making it a top recommendation when you want to enjoy world-class pop.
It’s a stylish number that showcases a new side of the group.
Beyond the purple nightsupittsu
The way the scene gradually opens up from the darkness and the gentle melody befitting the end of the day really lingers in your ears, doesn’t it? Even while carrying pain and loneliness, the worldview of the lyrics—quietly trying to make it through the night—seems to gently stay close to the hearts of those of us living today.
Released in March 2021, marking the 30th anniversary of their major debut, this piece was written as the ending theme for TBS’s news program “news23.” It was later included on the album “Himitsu Studio.” Listening alone in the stillness of late night, reflecting on the day, you might even feel a faint hope for tomorrow.
Sakura no Sora-sensei who praises you endlesslyGYARI
This song by GYARI was released in December 2018.
It features Sakurano Sora as the teacher and Tsumaki Maki as the student, portraying a story where a teacher wholeheartedly affirms a student anxious about their future and career path.
The funky bassline and brass-like synths feel great, and the comical back-and-forth is another highlight.
If you’re feeling a bit nervous before graduation, listening to this will surely lift your spirits.
colorless and transparentbaabapapa
It’s an insanely addictive EDM tune where the visuals and music fuse into one and rattle your brain.
Created by Vocaloid producer Barbapapa, it was released in December 2025.
Despite the surreal, vaguely unsettling atmosphere, before you know it you’ve surrendered your body to its distinctive beat.
It blends the hedonistic appeal of dance music with a playful sense of “dislocation,” creating a truly one-of-a-kind groove.
If you’re craving something a little offbeat and stimulating, definitely give it a listen.
insectTele
An up-tempo four-on-the-floor number shrouded in a sense of foreboding from start to finish.
Released in December 2025, it was created as the title track for a nationwide tour of the same name.
Its steady, regimented beat is structured to heighten a feeling of impatience, while the lyrics evoke a paradoxical sense that connecting with others only deepens one’s isolation, along with imagery of self-loathing writhing from within.
The suffocating, inescapable pressure closes in from both the words and the sound.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who can’t quite put into words the swirling haze churning in the depths of their heart.
