Osomatsu-san’s Bonbashé!DA PUMP
If you’re looking for an upbeat track, this is a must! It’s the opening theme for season 4 of the anime Osomatsu-san, based on the timeless masterpiece by Fujio Akatsuka.
It was released in July 2025 as part of the album BACK 2 DA UNITY.
The lyrics are by m.c.A·T, known for U.S.A., and the sound features a disco-funk flavor reminiscent of the ’80s and ’90s.

If you’re planning a song-and-dance performance, this is the one!
My mom’s LINEIshikawa Seiya
Sparked by messages from his mother, this song invites listeners to reflect on parent-child time.
Seiya Ishikawa—better known as Seiya from the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo, who won the M-1 Grand Prix in 2018—made his debut as a recording artist under his real name in October 2025.
Written by Ishikawa himself, the track uses relatable humor as its entry point—like putting off replies or chuckling at Mom’s slightly off sticker choices—before quietly shifting its gaze toward the inevitable parting that awaits someday.
The pop sound, blending rap and singing, delivers both lightness and poignancy in equal measure.
The music video, starring Kento Hayashi, also generated buzz.
It’s a perfect song for those who’ve let calls home slip amid busy days, or for listening on the way back to your hometown.

When I rolled up the wet hand towelAsagaya Shimai
There’s a song that revives the mood-chorus style steeped in the aroma of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
It’s the debut track released by the Asagaya Sisters in September 2015, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by Jun Tablet.
Centered on the everyday item of a hot towel handed over the counter at a bar, this kayōkyoku number portrays the bittersweet loneliness and yearning that drift through the nighttime streets.
Though not flashy, its evocative scenes—hinting at tiny back-alley shops and the melancholy air just before the last train—are superbly drawn.
The solid harmonies, backed by Miho Kimura’s background in a music program, deepen the resonance of the wistful melody.
The song was also used as the ending theme for the “Asagaya Sisters’ Ii wa ne Shopping Street” segment within BS Nippon TV’s Traveling Wednesday.
It’s a track I’d love fans of classic Showa hits to hear when they want to sink into the quiet of the night.
Album of MemoriesSakushi: Masuko Toshi / Sakkyoku: Honda Tetsumaro
There is a classic song that has been sung for many years as a staple of kindergarten graduation ceremonies.
The lyricist, Toshi Masuko, was an early childhood educator who studied at a Christian teacher-training school, while the composer, Tetsumaro Honda, was the principal of a kindergarten attached to a Buddhist temple—two people with different religious backgrounds who collaborated to create the piece.
The lyrics gently recount memories of time spent at the kindergarten in each of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—from a child’s perspective.
It first appeared in a book on childcare practice in 1961, and in 1981 a version performed by the vocal group Dark Ducks was broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” bringing it nationwide recognition.
In 2006, it was selected for the “100 Best Japanese Songs.” Its calm 6/8 melody is easy for young children to sing, and the call-and-response style between teachers and children is also enjoyable.
It’s a perfect piece for the climax of a graduation ceremony or as background music for a slideshow of memories.
playing at cagesRuliea
This song unfolds a suffocating yet beautiful world, built around the motifs of a sealed room and a keyhole.
It’s a Hatsune Miku track by Vocaloid producer Ruliea, posted to Mushoku Toumeisai 3 in November 2025.
From the perspective of a protagonist living within a predetermined relationship, it portrays love as a blessing in disguise that is in fact a curse.
The feeling that a room enclosed by white walls seems more real than the blue sky outside, and the psychology of surrendering freedom while clinging to the slightest affection, are depicted with delicate nuance.
The sound arrangement—where tight beats, shimmering synths, and delicate piano coexist—is also a highlight.
The story continues.sabio
It’s a duet that delicately portrays the emotions of parting and setting off on a new journey.
Composed by sabio and released in December 2024, it layers the voices of Miyamai Moka and Kasane Teto SV to beautifully express a worldview where aching sorrow and hope intertwine.
The story of two people who have walked the paths they chose—and the message that their journey will continue—truly stirs the heart.
The dramatic band sound is another highlight.
Be sure to give it a listen when you reach the milestone of graduation.
