Bradio – Colors

This is a fun track packed with the excitement of winter, especially that pre-Christmas buzz.

The phrase “neon makeup” evokes a scene where the colorful city and neon lights make your loved one’s profile look even more beautiful than usual.

26-ji no Masquerade - Melosama (Music Video)

This group started with seven members chosen through the “Domo BOYS & GIRLS × Zipper Idol Audition.” From the moment they formed, they were a lineup of beauties, so I was sure they’d become popular.

“MeloSama” is a breezy summer song that captures a girl’s feelings as she goes head over heels for a boy she likes—and, if possible, hopes he’ll fall head over heels for her too.

The catchy, chant-friendly chorus feels practically made with live shows in mind.

Rinrin, Miicha, and the rest of the so-called “Nijimasu” are only at the beginning of their meteoric rise! The music video, with its Korean-inspired flair, is also a must-see!

Anthurium: Shine! Shine Muscat (Official Music Video)

Anthurium is charging straight down the royal road of idols.

If you’re an idol fan, you’ve probably debated at least once about who’s the cutest! That’s how cute every single member is.

Their concept is “Excitement and exhilaration to you,” and fans love how they show different expressions with each song.

Their track ‘Shine! Sunshine Muscat’ is packed with cuteness no matter which part you take.

I’d love to copy the chorus choreography and get hyped at a live show!

TORICAGO Summer Snow Lyrics (English Subtitles) – TORICAGO ‘summer snow’ English lyrics

Uguisukago is pronounced “Torikago.” They might just be the most talked-about group in the idol scene right now.

Above all, their live shows are on fire! It’s like the word “emo” was invented for Uguisukago.

And while it almost goes without saying how stunning every member is—PINOKO, Banpaia, Karaage, Dako Otsu, and Tenten—I can’t help but want to gush about them! The world of this song, “summer snow,” is about quietly watching over girls who eagerly await sights they’ve yet to see.

It’s not intense, but it’s a beautiful track where a quiet inner strength shines through.

BRADIO – 69 Party（OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO）

A funky anthem dedicated to everyone who loves to party! It’s a track from BRADIO’s album “DANCEHALL MAGIC,” released in May 2023.

The lyrics, sung over an irresistibly groovy beat, emphasize the importance of elevating yourself rather than competing with others.

The music video—dubbed an “overly helpful party movie” and directed by Mani Kato—also created quite a buzz.

This song shines on the live tour as well, hyping up dance halls across the country and forging a strong sense of unity with fans.

Perfect for those seeking a free-spirited, positive vibe.

The more you listen, the more energized you feel—an irresistibly charming track.

Hotel AlienBRADIO6rank/position

HOTEL Alien [Peeping Life TV Season 1 ?? OP] BRADIO went all out and tried it in live action

The opening theme song for the anime “Peeping Life TV Season 1 ??.” The anime itself is surreal, but it has a dedicated core fanbase—those who like it really like it.

This song is quite upbeat and bursting with energy, so it’s a good one to sing boldly.

In the anime’s OP they’re dancing, so singing while dancing might be fun too.

Super WonderfulBRADIO7rank/position

Super Wonderful

This is the B-side track included on the single “HOTEL Alien.” Its funky, soulful disco sound is quintessential BRADIO.

The use of strings and brass is distinctly rooted in Black music, guaranteed to bring a grin to the faces of listeners who love this style.
