SiM – SAND CASTLE feat. Akko Gorilla (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

SiM is a rock band that brings together three key elements: jaw-dropping technique, a heavy, powerful sound, and emotionally charged live performances.

On “SAND CASTLE,” they feature female rapper Akkogorilla, achieving an impressive blend.

The track shifts from a tropical, reggae-tinged vibe driven by samplers into a full-on rock sound before you know it.

Even if heavy tones aren’t your usual preference, SiM’s sound and song structures are uniquely their own, so you might find yourself enjoying it.

Definitely give it a listen.

Summer Festival – Whiteberry (Full)

A classic summer love tune.

It’s the signature song of the girls’ band Whiteberry.

Since it’s sung by girls, you might think it’s from a girl’s perspective, right? But if you listen closely, you’ll realize it’s actually from a boy’s point of view.

The two go to a summer festival together, and the stubborn distance between them becomes frustrating.

They manage to get close, yet he never says “I love you” in the end… Doesn’t that feel like the feelings of a young boy?

go!go!vanillas – Dandelion [Music Video]

The comfortable rhythm that evokes the essence of ’80s disco meshes perfectly with the world of the TV anime SAKAMOTO DAYS.

It’s a track by go!go!vanillas, set for release in July 2025, written specifically as the ending theme for SAKAMOTO DAYS Cour 2.

The song explores “the quiet peace of returning home after battle—and its price.” The protagonist’s emotions, swaying between a calm everyday life and the extraordinary that lurks behind it, are delicately expressed over a weightless, floating sound.

It’s perfect for relaxing at the end of the day or for moments when you want a song to accompany a slightly bittersweet mood.
