YOASOBI “Gunjou” Official Music Video

This is a song that traces the journey of the heart in search of one’s dreams and true voice.

Inspired by the manga Blue Period, YOASOBI crafted this piece to sing about the passion for self-expression and the courage to take a new step forward.

Its powerful melody and IKURA’s clear, transparent vocals firmly support the resolve of young people facing towering obstacles.

Released in September 2020, it was used as the commercial song for Bourbon’s “Alfort Mini Chocolate,” and in 2021 it was also selected as the theme song for Nippon TV’s “Dance ONE Project ’21.” With its rhythmic and refreshing sound, it’s perfect for those who want to express themselves through dance or at recitals.

Why not take a bold new step, carried by its dynamic melody?

Kuwagata Ondo17rank/position

Kuwagata Ondo / Keropons & Ryuzo Fukuda

Kero-pons, famous for songs like “Ebikanix” and for concerts at kindergartens and nursery schools, and Ryuzo Fukuda created the song “Kuwagata Ondo.” This “kuwagata” of course refers to stag beetles.

It’s a fun song about stag beetles set to the rhythm of an ondo.

Traditional ondo often features work songs or themes about local culture and isn’t necessarily aimed at children, but this “Kuwagata Ondo” is a song we can wholeheartedly recommend for kids! We hope it helps children discover just how fun ondo can be.

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan – “Gather Around! Party People” Music Video [Major Version]

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan is a rock band from Osaka.

Their song “Atsumare! Party People” is, just as the title suggests, perfect when you want to enjoy karaoke in a party mood.

True to punk rock, this uptempo track features driving, energetic guitar, and singing it will instantly hype you up! There are call-and-response parts from start to finish, so it’s awesome for getting everyone excited, even people hearing the song for the first time.

It’s not a melodious tune, so you don’t need to worry if you’re not confident in your singing ability.

Don’t overthink it—just sing and have a blast.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.

While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.

That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!
