Bibideba / Hoshimachi Suisei (official)

This is a song by Suisei Hoshimachi that portrays the feelings of young people living in modern society, inspired by the fairy tale Cinderella.

Released in March 2024, its music video has surpassed 10 million views.

The work reinterprets the Cinderella story from a contemporary perspective, expressing young people’s desire for self-expression and freedom.

The image of Cinderella casting off her iconic glass slippers and dancing as herself conveys the importance of a life unbound by conventions and societal expectations.

From starting as an independent creator to joining hololive and achieving her dream of appearing in Deresute, her journey is truly a modern Cinderella story.

It’s a compelling track that resonates deeply with those who want to find their true selves or long for change.

The catchy melody will have you listening on repeat.

Only for you, clear skiesYorushika23rank/position

Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

Yorushika’s classic “Just a Sunny Day for You.” It’s a track with a nostalgic atmosphere.

No wonder—the lyrics were crafted with a touch of Masaoka Shiki’s haiku, “Without cease, people rest—on summer fields, a single stone.” That explains the nostalgic feel of the lyrics.

The vocals, both wistful and charming, are especially memorable.

And the guitar solo that comes in around 2:19 is incredibly emotional—be sure to listen for that!

[MV full] Heavy Rotation / AKB48 [Official]

Released as their 17th single in 2010, this song became a national hit as one of AKB48’s signature tracks, something you’d hear almost daily on karaoke and TV.

Its cute lyrics, set to a brisk rock tempo, sing honestly about a straightforward crush, capturing the fluttery excitement of love that everyone experiences at least once.

The way it surges from the chorus is irresistibly catchy, making you want to sing along, and it’s designed so friends and groups can enjoy the chorus and dance together.

It was heavily aired as the CM song for UHA Mikakutou’s “Puccho,” and in karaoke it set a record by ranking No.

1 for a total of 81 weeks in 2012.

It’s the perfect number for sharing that love-struck feeling with everyone or getting the whole room hyped at karaoke.

Chu, diversity.ano28rank/position

ano “Chu, Diversity.” Music Video

Ano-chan, who is so active as a TV personality that there’s hardly a day you don’t see her on screen, also works as a singer and has released numerous hit songs under the name “ano.” Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Chu, Tayōsei.

It features a cute, Chinese pop–inspired melody, and while the vocal range is high—mid2 A# to hi C#—it’s compact and focused.

Easy to sing yet adorable, it’s a song that perfectly embodies both of those qualities.
