KARATEBABYMETAL
It’s a song that motivates me when I’m heading to a job where I’m likely to face something unfair.
At first glance, the music and choreography are comical, and I hesitate to pay attention just because it was well received overseas, but the more I listen, the deeper it feels, and sometimes I even think I couldn’t go to that job without this song.
On the way to the meetingplenty
They’re a very emo three-piece band.
They don’t have many uptempo songs, and all of their tracks are characterized by strong messages.
This is a song I’d like people who are searching for something to hear.
Rather than being encouraging, it’s a song you can relate to.

This is Sukima Switch’s second single.
When it comes to bittersweet songs, it always ranks in various charts.
It’s also popular at karaoke, especially among younger generations.
It’s well known as a song about meetings and partings, and the final phrase of the track conveys a feeling of something you just can’t forget.
IF YOUBIGBANG
It’s the B-side of the single “MADE SERIES: D.” Combined with G-DRAGON’s vocals, it’s a deeply heartrending song that really pierces the heart.
Because of that, fans say it’s the saddest song in BIGBANG’s history.
There was even talk at first of not producing a music video so listeners could focus on the song.
To You Who Don’t Know LoveNEWS
This is NEWS’s 20th single.
It’s a summery, laid-back ballad love song that poignantly sings about a boy’s feelings in his youth, the passing summer, and the relationship between two people.
It’s often performed live on music shows, and it’s one of the few ballads among NEWS’s songs.

Hard to say I love you ~I can’t bring myself to say it~WEAVER
WEAVER’s charm lies in their slightly wistful, piano-driven phrases.
This song, too, is filled with that appeal.
Because it sings about bittersweet love, listening to it makes your chest tighten.
