No bugs are coming.usotsuki bābī
Usotsuki Barbie is a three-piece band formed in 2002 in Sasebo, Nagasaki.
When they debuted, they drew attention as a standout, unconventional act.
Their psychedelic melodies and distinctive vocals are highly addictive and will get under your skin.
You’ll also find yourself hooked on their lyrics, which paint a wildly off-the-wall world.
Sadly, they disbanded in 2013, and it’s a real shame we can’t experience their rule-breaking live performances in person anymore—but be sure to check out videos on YouTube and elsewhere!
MusubimeŌhara Yuiko
If you like heartrending love ballads, I recommend Musubime.
It’s a song specially written by singer-songwriter Yuiko Ohara as the ending theme for the anime Mushoku Tensei II: Jobless Reincarnation.
The song portrays the feelings of a woman with unrequited love, and her gentle vocals match the lyrics perfectly.
It’s sure to make your heart swell when you listen! Also, while it doesn’t end happily, it’s not a bad ending either—so pay attention to how it wraps up.
Invincible GirlfriendŌhara Sakurako
Singer-songwriter Sakurako Ohara captivates with her fresh, cute voice.
This song was used in the commercial for the DHC Medicated Acne Control series in which she herself appeared, right? Just listening to it feels like it boosts your femininity and makes anyone happy.
It might bring back memories of youth—your heart racing before confessing to a crush, or plotting your strategy! It’s an extraordinarily cute, happy tune you’ll want to dedicate to the girlfriends who were always there for you, even when love didn’t work out.
mudai baku ha shin
“Mu” was released by Namiba Nami in November 2024.
It’s a work characterized by a dramatic musical style and is included on the album “V.S.” The lyrics, depicting an inorganic world, pair perfectly with the song’s grand, expansive development.
You can almost picture Rei Adachi and Teto Kasane singing side by side.
The chorus in particular sits very high, but even the first verse is already quite challenging.
How far can you go?
dreamTenmon
A piece with a piano melody that is gentle on the ears.
This is a song called “Yume” (Dream), one of the insert tracks from “5 Centimeters per Second.” It begins to play on Kanae’s way home after she folds her course preference survey into a paper airplane and sends it flying.
A finely crafted piece that reflects the hearts of teenagers who are uncertain about their dreams and paths, holding vague anxieties and hopes.
Just as Takaki, now grown, imagines himself standing beside Akari, the song fades away like scattering stars.
It expresses both Kanae’s unfulfilled feelings and Takaki’s unrequited love for Akari.
Purplejoōbachi
With overwhelming vocal prowess and dramatically staged performances grounded in a singular aesthetic, Ziyoou-vachi commands a strong presence in the music scene.
Released in February 2025, this work is a straightforward ballad whose gentle vocals woven by Avu-chan and sweeping, large-scale melodies resonate deeply in the heart.
It powerfully sings of bonds with friends, gratitude to cherished people, and hope for the future, making it a message-rich piece that bridges past, present, and future.
Featured as the opening track of the album Aku, it vividly conveys the song’s world through Avu-chan’s extraordinary expressive ability.
This exquisite ballad is one to hear when you stand at a crossroads in life or want to reflect deeply on your feelings for someone important.
Musashi! Bugei Legend!!Shimon Masato
It is the opening theme of Studio Pierrot’s TV anime “Karakuri Kengō-den Musashi Lord,” sung by Masato Shimon, who has performed many anime songs.
Many people may recognize the beginning of the song, as it is used on the variety show “Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan.”
