CHAI – CHOOSE GO! – Official Music Video (subtitled)

Recent dance tracks tend to be electronic, but I think many people are also looking for rock-style dance tunes.

For those of you searching for that kind of song, I recommend CHAI’s “CHOOSE GO!”.

CHAI is a band popular among girls who advocate the concept of “neo-kawaii.” This track is also a pep song that empowers girls, so it’s perfect as a dance tune for them.

[MV] Nakanomori BAND / Snow (full ver.)

A winter classic written and composed by Masatoshi Mashima, beautifully performed by Nakanomori BAND.

Against a backdrop of white, piling snow, a bittersweet story unfolds in which distant memories and warmth quietly return.

It opens with images of snow drifting down onto everyday scenes like the morning assembly platform and cherry tree branches, and features striking lyrics where the scent and echoes of someone nostalgic fall into the heart like tiny particles.

Released in October 2007 as the double A-side single “Isoburavo/Yuki,” it was also selected for power play on Nippon TV’s “Ongaku Senshi MUSIC FIGHTER.” It’s a song that gently stays with you on a winter night when you find yourself wanting to drift into old memories.

“Lost Sea” – Split End (Official Music Video)

A poignant lyrical song that entrusts the pain of parting to seascape imagery.

It’s a single by Split end, an alternative rock band from Nara, released nationwide in 2018 through their own label.

It portrays a farewell that feels almost eternal, and a wish for reunion—vowing to go see you again when enough time has passed for even the unfading sea to dry up.

You’ll also be drawn into the soundscape woven by the transparent vocals and shoegaze-like guitar tones.

If you’ve experienced a farewell with someone dear, this song will surely resonate with you.

Mary’s Blood – Bite The Bullet（Music Video YouTube Ver.）

The band formed in 2009 is Mary’s Blood.

The solid, hard-hitting metal sound they unleash seems to speak for the youthful impulses that contradict their appearance.

It’s a robust metal song that gives you a push on the shoulder, telling you it’s okay to express the youthful emotions everyone keeps inside, anytime, without hiding them.

BAND-MAIKO / secret MAIKO lips (Official Music Video)

BAND-MAID, a globally popular girls’ rock band.

In 2018, they changed their name to BAND-MAIKO as an April Fools’ project and released “secret MAIKO lips.” It’s a self-arranged version of the song “secret My lips,” blending Japanese aesthetics with the power of rock.

They incorporated traditional Japanese instruments and changed the lyrics into the Kyoto dialect.

So, if you listen to the song while reading the lyrics, you should feel an even stronger Japanese atmosphere!
