Voice (with lyrics) — Tsukiko Amano

Tsukiko Amano debuted in 2001 as a singer-songwriter shrouded in mystery, keeping her profile undisclosed.

“Koe” is her 11th single, released in 2005, and it exquisitely matches her uniquely cool-toned voice with lyrics that embrace self-sacrifice.

In 2009, she changed her stage name to Tsuki Amano and expanded her activities beyond music.

[Ado] I’m a Problematic Work

There are times when you feel uneasy whether you receive good reviews or bad ones, right? Ado’s 2023 track “Atashi wa Mondaisaku” (“I’m a Problematic Work”) sings about being bound up by all the voices around you.

Even the title alone weighs heavily on the heart.

While basking in the spotlight and expressing gratitude for the many voices, the song also feels like Ado’s own cry from the heart, born of confusion and the repeated hurt she has experienced.

In this world, there are people who praise you for doing things differently, and people who utterly tear you down.

This cry is surely a pain that presses not only on celebrities, but on many people’s hearts.

It’s a song that can bring comfort simply by making you feel that everyone struggles in the same way.

CHANMINA – Lewd (Official Music Video) –

A track by Chanmina that portrays a destructive love driven purely by instinct.

Released digitally in September 2021, it drew attention as the title song of her third full-length album, Harenchi, which came out in October of the same year.

In March 2022, it was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating reality show The Grass Is Greener Next Door 3, becoming a long-running hit with over 200 million streams.

The lyrics, where wavering emotions, desire, and guilt intersect, vividly depict the peril of a love you know you shouldn’t pursue but can’t stop.

Those moments when you surrender to impulses you can’t even control yourself are sure to resonate with anyone who’s felt the same.
