April Fools in DecemberEPO
It’s a bittersweet ballad where the festive sparkle of a winter city at Christmastime overlaps with the sorrow of a love’s end—an irony that cuts deep.
The song by EPO was released as a single in November 1985 and included on the album “PUMP! PUMP!” With lyrics and composition by EPO herself and arrangement by Hiroshi Sato, its sophisticated sound blends AOR balladry with city pop.
The lyrics are striking for how they overlay the pain of heartbreak—realizing the person you believed was your only one was not—onto a title that deliberately invokes a “day of lies.” A self-cover version was released in 1993, and a completely re-arranged re-recording in 1999, keeping the song loved for many years.
It’s a track that quietly stays by your side when you feel a little distant from the dazzling Christmas scene.
246:3AMInagaki Junichi
Released as a single alongside the debut album in July 1982, this song stands out with its distinctive title that blends National Route 246 and 3 a.m.
The lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa, the music composed by Kazuhiko Matsuo, and the arrangement handled by Akira Inoue, making it a defining track of Junichi Inagaki’s early AOR sound.
The album features accomplished musicians such as Tsuyoshi Kon and Tatsuo Hayashi, contributing to its sophisticated production.
Its bittersweet melody and restrained vocals harmonize beautifully, capturing the poignancy of the city at night.
Highly recommended for city pop enthusiasts and anyone seeking the roots of early-’80s Japanese-language AOR.
1 plus 2 plus Sun VulcanKushida Akira
This is the latter ending theme of TV Asahi’s “Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan,” aired in October 1981—a spirited number sung by Akira Kushida and the Columbia Yurikago-kai.
Riding a samba rhythm, the call-and-response of “Eagle! Shark! Panther!” rings out, invoking the three warriors and expressing the concept of fusion—three powers becoming one—with the clarity of 1 plus 2.
Written by Keisuke Yamakawa and composed by Chuumei Watanabe, the golden duo of tokusatsu music, the song uses a counting-rhyme style that kids can naturally sing along to, cheerfully teaching the importance of teamwork.
Released as a single by Nippon Columbia, it has continued to appear in commemorative box sets and compilation albums over the years.
It’s the perfect track when you’re in the mood to sing out energetically alongside the heroes!
27:00Burandē Senki
Brandy Senki is a three-piece rock band from Osaka formed in 2022.
Released in November 2024, this work stands out for its unique sound that blends a kayōkyoku-style catchiness with ethereal humming and driving drums.
The lyrics portray the aching feeling of being cast into a sea of loneliness and the complexity of emotions toward the other person, while winter motifs like Christmas and mistletoe appear, shaping a distinctive worldview.
Rengeki’s emotive vocals and spacey guitar tones express the intricacies of a conflicted heart.
It’s the perfect song when you want to bring a slightly mature vibe to karaoke with friends or sing about the bittersweet feelings of winter.
Merry-Go-Round in DecemberTeraoka Yohito
Yohito Teraoka, who began his career as the former bassist of JUN SKY WALKER(S).
His fourth single, released in November 1995, is a notable track with lyrics by Kanako Nakayama of Princess Princess and music co-composed with Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children.
Set beneath the Christmas city illuminations, it portrays a poignant scene in which memories of a past love begin to swirl, resulting in a sweet, nostalgic ballad.
The production story is also memorable: Teraoka and Sakurai alternated in crafting the melody at Teraoka’s home.
It’s a perfect karaoke choice for those moments when the glamour of Christmas leaves you feeling a little bittersweet.
17 (until the day I die)BIGMAMA
It’s a coming-of-age number where fierce yet fleeting rock sounds intersect with razor-sharp guitars.
Featured on the album “Tokyo Emotional Gakuen,” released in October 2023, the track drew attention for its baseball-themed music video.
Many listeners will feel encouraged by the lyrics’ positive words and ambition: “I can’t end it like this,” and “The only thing I can change is my own actions.” When you want to strive toward a goal or change your current situation, listening to this song will surely give you the courage to keep going.

3% and me.riria.
Singer-songwriter Riria, who enjoys overwhelming support from younger generations mainly on social media.
Released in October 2025, this song was written as the opening theme for the BS TV Tokyo drama “Wakakozake Season 9.” Its lyrics, which express everyday fatigue and emotional wavering through the motif of alcohol, are a standout feature.
The airy sound that makes use of transparent synths and her emotional vocals are soothing.
