An epic cheer song produced by YOASOBI, inspired by the manga Blue Period.

It powerfully portrays the pain and inner conflicts that arise precisely because you’re passionate about what you love, as well as the determination to follow the path you believe in—carried by a fast-paced, driving sound.

Released in September 2020, the track was used in a commercial for Bourbon’s Alfort Mini Chocolate and was also selected as the march-in song for the 94th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

To express the piece’s uplifting, supportive energy on piano, it’s key to build a strong sense of rise from the pre-chorus into the chorus.

In the grand choral sections, using the sustain pedal effectively to create a rich resonance will move listeners even more.

While many may associate Ayase with stylish, city-pop vibes, this track has a driving, rock-infused feel.

Anchored by a four-on-the-floor rhythm, it’s incredibly easy to groove to.

The dark lyrics also mesh perfectly with the tone of the song—it’s seriously cool.

Please give this Japanese-flavored mixture rock a listen.

The track was composed by Ayase, who is also active as the composer for the music duo YOASOBI, and it was released in 2019.

The high-speed development and the synth phrases are really cool.

The melody in a traditional Japanese scale gives an impression that blends freshness with nostalgia.

The lyrics convey the protagonist’s heartrending feelings… They make you ponder what truly lies at the boundary between humans and yokai.

How about J-pop arranged for piano four hands? Here’s “Yoru ni Kakeru” by the popular duo YOASOBI.

It’s been arranged as a duet for intermediate players without losing the charm of the original.

With the catchy, dance-like groove and energetic melody, it captivates young listeners.

While J-pop is fun, it can be challenging to perform on classical instruments.

The backing phrases move quickly, and the melody line has complex rhythms, so it may take considerable time before it sounds song-like.

Even if you play the rhythms accurately, it might not sound like singing, so listen closely to the original and aim for a high level of fidelity.

A love that ends like misbuttoned buttons…

It’s a mature Vocaloid song with lyrics that capture a wistful maiden’s heart.

The track is by Ayase, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as the composer for the music duo YOASOBI, and it was released in 2020.

The rhythmical soundscape built around the piano’s timbre is truly wonderful.

It feels perfectly suited to neon lights seen from a windowsill at night.

And many listeners will surely be struck by the lyrics, which reflect emotions swaying between sadness and loneliness.

A stylish, floaty electronic tune.

Created by Ayase, this piece is included on the compilation album “Ryugu-jo,” released in August 2023.

It has a dreamy finish that conjures up images of a city nightscape, and I’m drawn to the lyrics’ message, which gently stays by your side when that inescapable sense of powerlessness creeps in.

Be sure to add this masterpiece to your playlist.

Ayase, known as a member of YOASOBI, is also active as a solo artist, showcasing a distinctive, more downbeat style compared to YOASOBI.

His new track “From Now!” has been released as the theme song for the mobile game Monster Hunter Now and is drawing attention.

While the song features a catchy, upbeat melody, its vocal range is surprisingly modest.

It also doesn’t require much vocal power, making it a very easy track for men to sing.
