it is that; the fact is (sentence-ending explanatory/emphatic expression)dai baku ha shin
A piercing song that belts out “your true self” as you are.
It’s a track by Namaha Shin, released in November 2023.
The rich sonic image—born from the fusion of the three voices of Zundamon, Hatsune Miku, and Kasane Teto with a rapid-fire melody—leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics pose the question of where one’s self comes from, alongside an earnest plea to love who I am now.
Even while carrying anxiety about a self that keeps changing, the drive to move forward resonates deeply with the feelings of someone standing at the milestone of graduation.
signal fireŌgami Mio
In December 2025, marking VTuber Ookami Mio’s 7th anniversary, she unveiled this single during her commemorative stream.
The song was written and composed by Kayoko Kusano, known for works like “Gurenge,” and it’s a rock number that fuses a heavy guitar riff with a symphonic arrangement.
The lyrics depict the pain carried since the day she decided not to cry, and the gap between the answers others demand and her own true feelings, ultimately arriving at the realization that it’s not the world that must change, but oneself.
Many listeners will likely feel encouraged by the stance of rising up, igniting one’s fighting spirit, and asserting one’s existence.
Give it a listen when you feel like you’re about to lose heart.
Bragging about one’s lovernama ashi pero ko
From the title you might expect a sweet romantic episode, but this track deliciously subverts that expectation with a sticky, heavy texture.
“Bragging About Love,” released by Namashi Peroko in November 2025, features the innocent vocals of Kaai Yuki, which bring the protagonist’s complex emotions—emptiness and obsession with their partner—vividly to life.
The visual world, with its striking red-and-blue contrast, is also a must-see.
Give it a listen when you want to brush up against a slightly warped form of love.
Nozawa Onsen Ko-uta (Nozawa Onsen Little Song)Fujimoto Nisankichi
When the weather turns cold, nothing is more enticing than a hot spring.
Just imagining the view beyond the rising steam or the murmur of the river warms the heart, doesn’t it? This piece, sung by Fujimoto Fumiyoshi, lets you fully savor that hot-spring ambience.
With shamisen tones and a rich, velvety voice, it vividly portrays the atmosphere of a famous bath reached after crossing the Chikuma River and the feelings of a traveler.
There’s also a lovely anecdote that in the winter of 1930, composer Nakayama Shinpei actually visited the area and created the song together with local residents.
You can enjoy it on albums such as “Japanese Popular Song Stars (10): Fujimoto Fumiyoshi.” It’s the perfect listen when you want to forget your busy routine and relax, or when you’re dreaming up your next trip—guaranteed to immerse you in a leisurely hot-spring mood.

The fusion of fierce slap sounds and a wistful melody sets my heart on fire! This is a song by SPIKE, a band from Sapporo also known as the “Rock ’n’ Roll Psycho Monster.” It was included on their October 2004 album DRESSED IN BLACK STORM and was re-recorded for their 25th anniversary best-of, Weird Of The Best ~25th Anniversary, in 2015.

That clumsy yet profound expression of love tightens your chest before you know it.
Knockin’ on the doorSHANK
Featured on the 2012 single “Wake me up when night falls again,” this track is quintessential SHANK, weaving in phrases from the Nagasaki children’s song “Denderaryu.” Sung in English, it conveys both anxiety about the unknown and a resolve to push forward, investing hope in the simple act of knocking on a door.
It was re-recorded in 2018 for the mini-album “WANDERSOUL,” evolving into a more refined sound.
In live shows, the sing-along to “Denderaryu” creates an electrifying moment that unites the crowd.
It’s a perfect pick for anyone craving high-velocity melodic hardcore that fuses hometown pride with the universal energy of rock.
