rendezvousSangatsu no Phantasia

Marchen Fantasia 'Rendezvous'

Sangatsu no Phantasia is a creative unit centered around vocalist mia.

This track, included on their album “Blue Pop Won’t Stop Ringing,” released in September 2020, is a number that tells a story beginning from the very moment two gazes first meet.

With a sweet-and-sour portrayal of sensations like a touch deep in the chest and the feeling of love setting into motion at the speed of a blink, it sounds like youth itself turned into music.

Packed with parts that make you want to sing and dance, it’s the kind of song that would naturally bring a smile if it started playing during a purikura photo session.

Living Dead SwimmerHalo at yojōhan

Halo at Four-and-a-Half Tatami “Living Dead Swimmer” (Official Music Video)

The song that plays as the doodling-time BGM on the purikura machine “Midnight Deadline” (0:00 Time Limit) is “Living Dead Swimmer” by Halo at Yojohan.

Unfortunately, the band is currently on hiatus, but they enjoyed strong popularity—especially among younger listeners—under the nickname “Haro.” This track portrays dreams you can’t give up and the frustration of setbacks; it’s a song that anyone living through their youth can relate to more and more with each listen.

If you happened to discover it while taking purikura and were drawn in by its beautiful melody, go back and listen again with the lyrics in mind!

SCIENTISTTwice

TWICE “SCIENTIST” M/V

恋を科学的に解明しようとする、ユニークなコンセプトが印象的な楽曲。2021年11月に韓国3枚目のフルアルバム『Formula of Love: O+T=<3』のタイトル曲として公開されました。恋には正解なんてない、理屈じゃなくて心に従おうというメッセージが、科学用語を織り交ぜながら軽やかに歌われています。80年代風のシンセと跳ねるようなベースラインが絶妙にマッチしたディープハウス調のサウンドは、プリクラの撮影中に流れたらテンションが一気に上がりそう！友達と盛り上がりたいときにピッタリの1曲です。

go!go!vanillas / Emma (MUSIC VIDEO)

“Emma” has been selected as the doodle BGM for the popular purikura machine “#Aoharu 2,” which is loved for its freely movable camera that captures every bit of that youthful vibe.

Sung by the pop-rock band go!go!vanillas, it’s a danceable rock track with a touch of nostalgia.

Since it vividly brings back the atmosphere and spirit of the moment when you look at the photos later, it’s perfect for the doodle time—just as important as the shooting time.

It’s a theme song for youth that we hope you’ll listen to again when you look back.

The continuation of the dreamHakubi

Hakubi – The Continuation of the Dream [MV]

The song playing during photo sessions on the purikura machine Zero-Limi, short for “Gozen 0-ji no Time Limit” (Midnight Time Limit), is Yume no Tsuzuki by Hakubi, a three-piece band from Kyoto.

The vocals have a boyish, fleeting quality, and the lingering poignancy of the sound stays with you after listening—perfectly matching the purikura machine’s “emo-cute” concept.

It’s the ideal BGM to capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment as a page of your precious youth.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to again when you’re grown up and looking back.
