The fast-paced sound and the razor-sharp singing of Hatsune Miku leave a strong impression.

Produced by Nirukajitsu, this work was released in September 2024.

Included on the album “MWLÁND,” the song uses the metaphor of soldiers to express the difficulty of maintaining one’s true self within society.

Paired with its speedy arrangement, it strikes sharply at the listener’s heart.

It’s perfect for those in the midst of self-discovery or anyone struggling with inner conflict in society.

It’s sure to resonate with many people.

Impossible!! (You can’t do that)bakufū suranpu

Included on the 1984 album “Yoi.” A four-piece rock band formed in 1982 in Tokyo.

Due to inappropriate expressions in the lyrics, the song was designated as banned from broadcast by NHK.

For a while after its release, combined with their provocative live performances, the band was often treated as a comedy act.

Faye Wong - 'Dream Person' Edited MV (1080p)
The one I’m infatuated with, Faye Wong

Faye Wong, well-known in Japan for the film Chungking Express and for Eyes on Me, the theme song of Final Fantasy VIII.

The song that became a hit as an insert track in Chungking Express is this one, noted for the beautiful quality of its distinctive falsetto.

Even people who haven’t seen the movie have likely heard the song somewhere.

In 2016, her daughter Leah Dou covered it with Japanese lyrics she wrote herself.

Theory of Relativity – Moonlight Galaxy

A band known for many philosophical songs, Soutaiseiriron.

From their album “Synchroniciteen,” I’d like to introduce “Moonlight Galaxy.” This one has a super slow tempo and a gentle, soothing feel.

It runs a bit long at around six minutes, which lets you really savor the performance and vocals.

By the way, the points that evoke space are where words like “galaxy” appear in the lyrics.

It’s rich in metaphor, so it’s fun to ponder what kind of scenes it’s depicting.

Moonlight SurferIshikawa Seri

Set against a seaside scene wrapped in the scent of the tide, the song conveys a longing for lost love alongside a fleeting sense of release amid beautiful nature.

Released in 1979 as Seri Ishikawa’s ninth single, it has remained popular across generations in karaoke.

Its transparent vocals and summer-tinged melody are sure to resonate with listeners.

On a drive, humming it together with someone in their seventies will likely spark conversation—it’s a song that invites fond memories of days gone by.
