Summer Love AdvisorySHISHAMO81rank/position
It’s a refreshingly exhilarating track from SHISHAMO that truly heralds the arrival of summer.
The protagonist is a girl who’s become a little timid about love.
Even as she stays cautious because of past experiences, her unstoppable feelings build, portrayed over an up-tempo sound.
It’s a number that captures that uniquely summery flutter—an exciting mix of a racing heart and a touch of bittersweet emotion.
Released in June 2023, marking the 10th anniversary of SHISHAMO’s CD debut, the single is also included on the album SHISHAMO 8 from the same year.
It was featured as the CM song for JTB’s “Kokoro Odoru Natsutabi” (Heart-Dancing Summer Trip) campaign, boosting the thrill of summer travel.
Listen to it during a summer drive or a lively BBQ with friends, and it just might multiply the fun many times over.
Forbidden taleBAND-MAID82rank/position
If a woman wants to project a cool, mature edge, BAND-MAID’s songs are indispensable.
BAND-MAID started out as a strongly concept-driven girls’ rock band, but as their career has progressed, their performance level has risen, and today they reign as one of Japan’s leading all-female rock bands.
Their track “Forbidden tale” is their latest song—primarily hard rock—and in the latter half it even features advanced vocal techniques like ad-libbed “feints.” If you can sing it well, even people well-versed in music will likely see you as having serious coolness.
SAKURA GoodbyeSCANDAL83rank/position
A number that became one of SCANDAL’s signature early works, beautifully capturing both the bittersweetness and freshness that accompany graduation scenes.
Its message, told from a true-to-life perspective, carries a power that evokes universal empathy.
The song had existed since the band’s formation and drew attention when it was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s variety show “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!” Its up-tempo rock sound and the sense of parting—and anticipation for a new journey—set against the season of cherry blossoms are sure to resonate as spring arrives.
It can be called a gem of a pop tune that colors a page of youth, perfect for listening to at life’s important milestones.
NO, Thank You!Hōkago Tī Taimu84rank/position
This is the second season’s latter-ending theme song from K-On!!, and the eighth single released under the name “Houkago Tea Time.” The main vocals are by Yoko Hikasa, who plays Mio Akiyama, and her voice fits perfectly with the strong, girl-power image and cool melody.
With its hard-driving guitars, danceable rhythm, and a band ensemble that knows when to push and pull, it’s a cool track that’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd if you play it at a school festival!
Last Love LetterChatto Monchī85rank/position
Among Chatmonchy’s songs, this track stands out for its memorable bass melody.
When shaping your bass tone with an amp or equalizer, it’s an easy piece to discern and a very helpful reference.
It’s a song that makes you newly appreciate the bass’s dual role as both a rhythm-making instrument and one that can play melodic lines.
Loving UniverseSCANDAL86rank/position
A SCANDAL song that portrays a sweet and bittersweet crush.
The lyrics, which depict a special world just for the two of them, are striking and convey the dreamlike atmosphere of the moment you fall in love.

It’s the perfect song for those moments when your feelings of love overflow or when you want to feel the preciousness of time spent with someone you like.
Recommended not only for those with unrequited love, but also for anyone who wants to look back on memories with someone special.

Hump Back is a three-piece girls’ band that drew attention with their major debut single “Dear, Boy.” “Circus,” included on their second mini-album hanamuke, is a number with Hump Back’s signature emotional melodies and straightforward rock sound that feels great.
Pay attention to the beat shifting between 3/4 and 4/4—if the whole band isn’t mindful, the ensemble won’t lock in.

This amazarashi song paints a winter scene filled with kindness.
Its unique worldview—where the beauty of falling snow intersects with the cruelty of the world—is striking.
Released in November 2010, it’s an early signature work that shines with profound lyrics and a distinctive musical style.
It delicately conveys complex emotions where personal confessions and prayers for the world, hope and despair, are all intertwined.

This is a song by Hump Back that portrays the small pains and frustrations we feel in everyday life.
It’s included on the mini-album “Yoru ni Nattara” and was also used as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s “Ongaku-ryu ~ONRYU~.” Its short two-minute length and straightforward band sound are standout features, evoking an image of emotions being expressed head-on.
The subtle appearance of the word “moon” in the lyrics also conjures up the scene of quietly reflecting at night.
It’s a song that stays close to an introspective mind while encouraging the courage to move forward.
