If you’re looking for the perfect song to liven up the New Year, we recommend Urashimasakatasen’s high-energy track.
It features an upbeat, hype-filled vibe that fuses traditional festival music with modern arrangements.
Released in March 2021, the song delivers an energetic performance with the message “Let’s enjoy the moment.” The lyrics express the charm of Japanese traditional culture and the fun of festivals, making it a surefire choice to instantly elevate the mood at New Year gatherings.
This piece also drew attention at live events and concerts, and it’s great for karaoke too.
It’s a song that people of all ages can enjoy—perfect not only with friends, but also at company New Year parties and family get-togethers.
Nowhereshōri
Gently and tenderly sung songs are nice too, aren’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Nowhere.” It’s a ballad created by the artist Aseri (焦利), who began posting videos on YouTube in 2022.
Remarkably, even as their fourth release, it drew significant attention.
The song’s lyrics portray someone reflecting on a beloved person they’ve lost.
The gentle voices of Nezem and Hatsune Miku tug at listeners’ heartstrings.
The vocals feature a distinctive pronunciation, so you might enjoy paying attention to that as you listen.
A song that quenches the throatKemuri-chan
Kemuchan is an influencer who’s active mainly on social media like TikTok and YouTube.
Her debut single, “A Thirst-Quenching Song,” incorporates party calls often used at drinking gatherings.
Set to a fast dance beat, it sings about familiar drinking-scene moments.
It’s perfect for those times when everyone takes a sip together or when the party’s about to kick off.
Even people who don’t drink can enjoy the calls and singing—turn up the energy at karaoke with this high-tension track!
No one comparesIkuta Erika
The lyrics, which convey bittersweet, frustrating emotions in a straightforward way, are captivating.
“No one compares” is the first song written and composed by Erika Ikuta, and it was created during the stay-at-home period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While holding dear one’s most important feelings, the song delicately portrays the pain and anguish that come with them.
It’s included on her debut EP, “capriccioso,” released in April 2024.
The track was selected as the ending theme for BS TV Tokyo’s “Nikkei News Plus 9.” It’s a song you’ll want to listen to in the quiet moments of the night.
No StarsYuka
Singer-songwriter Yuka made her major debut with the 2022 single “lullaby.” She spent her early childhood in the United States and Switzerland, and began pursuing music after being inspired by musicals and Broadway shows.
In 2019, she received the Special Jury Prize at the music audition “NEW CINEMA PROJECT.” Her smooth, fluid vocals—imbued with the influence of Western music—have drawn attention.
Alongside songs with a contemporary atmosphere, she is an artist who evokes new possibilities in music.
Noto PeninsulaIshikawa Sayuri
Following “Tsugaru Strait Winter Landscape” and “Amagi-goe,” Sayuri Ishikawa’s masterpiece “Noto Peninsula.” While this piece firmly carries the hallmarks of enka, it also features plenty of vocal lines closer to kayōkyoku.
In particular, the transition from the B section into the chorus has qualities reminiscent of 1970s kayōkyoku and pop ballads.
There are passages that use falsetto, so the range is somewhat wide; however, for a Sayuri Ishikawa song, the overall difficulty is relatively low because there are notably fewer kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).
If the early-chorus falsetto is difficult, I recommend lowering the key—or conversely, raising it slightly to make producing the falsetto easier.
non-useInabakumo
It’s a track that keeps a steady rhythm and, while quiet, asserts itself with unwavering resolve.
It’s high-sense and avant-garde, yet undeniably catchy and cute.
Its distinctive, single-minded sound becomes more alluring the more you listen.
It’s a song you’ll want to play over and over, revealing new flavors each time you return to it.
