ultramarineYOASOBI99rank/position

Inspired by the manga Blue Period, this piece portrays a fervent passion for immersing yourself in what you love.
It’s a track released digitally in September 2020 by YOASOBI, a unit that turns novels into music, and it’s also known as the song from the Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate commercial.
The song is included on their first EP, THE BOOK, released in 2021, and ikura’s clear vocals together with the exhilarating sound really resonate.
The chorus features a group-singing part, so even if you’re not confident singing alone, you can have a blast with friends! Even in sections with sustained high notes, it’s nothing to fear when everyone raises their voices together.
How about enjoying it at karaoke after club activities or after school, feeling the bond with your friends as you sing?
KICKBACKYonezu Kenshi100rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who also has a persona as a Vocaloid producer and continues to expand the musical possibilities of the J-pop scene.
The track released in November 2022, used as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man, drew major attention for featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu on arrangement.
With its drum’n’bass-driven, intense beat and whirlwind progression, the sound feels like a roller coaster that sweeps listeners along, deeply linking with the work’s frenzied worldview.
The lyrics, infused with the protagonist’s somewhat nihilistic and self-destructive desire for happiness and good fortune, strike a powerful impulse into the listener’s heart.
It’s an aggressive, cool rock tune that blasts away the boredom of everyday life and lifts your mood to the max.
