ochatime – ft.Hatsune Miku
ochatime23.exe

This is a track posted in June 2020 by 23.exe, who mainly produces dance music.

It’s literally a song about tea time, and Miku Hatsune’s laid-back rap is just too cute.

The groove is insanely comfortable—almost squirm-inducing—and the flow is addictive.

It seems to be popular with overseas listeners, too.

It’s heartwarming.

I think it fits perfectly not only for a leisurely tea time on days off, but also for a break after work or while sipping a canned coffee.

When you need healing, ‘ochatime’ is the only choice!

Rappa Garia “Yabasugiru Skill 10 feat. Informa Kumiai” [Music Video Short Ver.]
Too-Insane Skill 10 feat. Rhymester UnionRappa Gariya

A three-MC hip-hop unit that has continually delivered their striking style to the world ever since they sent the ferocious “Yabasugiru Skill” to the legendary 1995 compilation album Infamy.

On this release, they feature Infumiaigumi, the Naniwa backyard rhyme collective that has repeatedly fused and split, constantly evolving and deepening their craft.

A classic Japanese rap track where both parties’ rhyme-centric skills intertwine over a cool, rock-influenced beat.

You hardly ever hear such a richly layered track these days!

When you’re on the train, your mind tends to wander, doesn’t it? This is a song called “Yamanote Line” by the rapper NORIKIYO.

The neo-soul beat is stylish and wonderful.

Over that track, he sings about the casual scenes you notice on the train.

If you ride the train regularly, you’ll likely relate to this song.

Perfect companion for your morning commute!

10000ftID

ID is a rapper boasting overwhelming talent in the history of Japanese hip-hop.

On the hugely popular show Freestyle Dungeon, he became a third-generation Monster and maintained a high win rate.

Even at the freestyle stage, his flow sounds like a recorded track, but his “10000ft” takes a different approach from freestyling, delivering a cool and subdued rap.

Japanese rap arranged with a house vibe is rare, so if you’re curious, be sure to check it out!
