mugya mugyaHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
The song title uses a uniquely expressive phrase, “Mugya Mugya.” It was the Monthly Song for September 2021.
Written and composed by Satoko Shibata, its TV visuals featured a striking animation drawn with simple black lines to match the music.
The word “mugya mugya” probably expresses the feeling of not being able to be straightforward.
I really hope you’ll let children listen to it, as it says, “Yes, that happens,” in a gentle way.
It beautifully sings, from a child’s perspective, about the emotions we all have when we can’t be honest with our feelings.
It’s a wonderful song.
MURASAKIAoi Shota
Shouta Aoi, who is active across a wide range of fields such as voice acting, singing, and stage acting, is from Fukui Prefecture.
He began with his artist debut as SHOWTA., worked hard to fulfill his wish to be involved in anime and games, and that led to his current standing as an artist.
His androgynous appearance and high voice are major draws, and, in line with his own policy, he seems to embody expression that transcends gender.
He is a captivating entertainer who pursues richly varied forms of expression.
sunfloweraobouzu
Himawari, a song by aobozu, was released in 2014 as a digital-only single.
It also drew attention for its music video, which was entirely hand-drawn flipbook-style animation.
The song portrays the confusion and hesitation of growing into adulthood, set against summer scenes.
Even while sensing that something has changed upon becoming an adult, it conveys a determination to move toward a bright future—like a sunflower.
Cavity Construction Co., Ltd.Hayami Kentarō, Shigemori Ayumi
Many children probably say things like, “I hate brushing my teeth!” right? As its name suggests, ‘Cavity Construction Co., Ltd.’ is a song about a company that makes cavities! Using drills and shovels, they dig out cavities while germs have a field day.
That might sound a bit scary, but it’s actually a very sprightly and fun tune! It’s a big hit with kids, too.
Wet with the foghornChō Hoyūki
A new song by Yuki Nagaho that sings of a bittersweet love set in a melancholy port town.
The sound of a foghorn echoing through the mist-shrouded harbor symbolizes the protagonist’s emotions.
Lyrics interwoven with parting, lingering feelings, and hopes for reunion are sure to resonate deeply with listeners.
Released on June 26, 2024, this track showcases Nagaho’s mature vocal prowess and expressive depth.
Paired with the coupling song “Ottori Bushi,” it’s guaranteed to capture the hearts of enka fans.
It’s a perfect tune for an evening drive or to enjoy in the mellow atmosphere of a cozy izakaya.

Dreams shatteredNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
A track included on the self-cover album “NEVER CHANGE,” released in 1988.
It’s a song that conveys the feeling of hitting rock bottom—failing in your dreams and losing someone important.
When things aren’t going well, nothing seems to go right no matter what you do.
You end up feeling isolated, thinking it’s only you.
But realizing that even Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi went through slumps like that and climbed back up time and again might ease that loneliness a little, reminding us that we’re all in this together.
Irresponsible HeroKanjani∞
When it comes to festival songs, Kanjani Eight’s “Mukashin Hero” (Reckless Hero) is a must.
Written by Jouya Uenaka of THE Inazuma Sentai, it was released on October 29, 2008 as their ninth single.
It’s a life-cheering anthem that brightly sings about the carefree idea that “things will work out somehow”! It’s super upbeat and guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke.
It also pairs well with wotagei, so feel free to give it a try! Fun for all ages, so if you’re unsure what to sing at karaoke, definitely check this one out.
