TATTOOOfisharu Higedan Dism

Official HIGE DANDism is a four-piece band active on the J-pop scene in the Reiwa era.
Their 2023 release “TATTOO” paints a vivid picture of everyday life, depicting relationships—between friends, lovers, and others—who support each other.
Set to an electronica-based dance beat, the track weaves together each instrument’s performance into a rich, layered sound.
It’s a song packed with relatable messages: honestly expressing the anxieties and vulnerabilities we carry in our hearts, and suggesting a healthy sense of distance with the ones we cherish.
Something I’m looking forDIRTY OLD MEN

This song, which brings a sense of calm, makes me feel truly happy when I listen to it.
It’s a song that makes me reflect on the everyday happiness I often take for granted, and I think it’s one I’d love to listen to with someone special.
To my belovedET-KING

It’s a hit song released in 2007 by ET-KING, a group formed in Osaka.
It delivers a straightforward message to a loved one in Kansai dialect.
In Kansai, when you describe someone as “omoroi,” it doesn’t just mean they’re funny—it also carries a sense of affection.
Especially the chorus, once you hear it, sticks in your memory as a love song that radiates Kansai soul.
Dream FighterPerfume

This song weaves lyrics that say, “Believe in yourself and move forward toward the future!” It’s a track by the girls’ dance-vocal group Perfume, released in 2008 as their eighth single.
Its up-tempo vibe gives you energy and courage.
If you listen to it when you’re feeling down, it’s sure to resonate with you.

Song of Determinationbacho

I think it’s a song that can move anyone who listens to it.
When you feel like you’ve been speaking negatively a lot lately, or when you want to give someone a push, it’s the kind of song that makes you clearly reaffirm who you want to be.
It truly is a “song of determination.”
proofflumpool

This is flumpool’s seventh major single, released in 2011.
In the music video, Yuji Sugimoto from WEAVER—junior artists under Amuse and A-Sketch—appears as the pianist.
The first pressing included sheet music for a three-part mixed chorus arrangement of “Akashi.”
meltdownnagimiso P

It seems the theme is “the psychological growth of a young girl.” Even if a Vocaloid song appears to have a difficult theme at first glance, you can often grasp it through the feeling when you listen.
Both the music video and the track are highly polished and popular.
It seems that iroha has published their own interpretations of the song and related matters on their blog.
