Young Skinny – Actually, You Know, [Official Music Video]

This is the second single by Young Skinny, a four-piece rock band from Japan, released in October 2022.

I think it’s a charming mid-tempo track with a slightly heartwarming vibe.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so in that sense it feels very easy to sing as well.

If you make sure to feel the accents of the snare drum in the backing track while you sing, that alone can make it sound pretty good—so give it a try! I also recommend having fun by imitating the artist’s slightly distinctive singing style.

It was used as the theme song for the NTT Docomo “d Hits powered by RecoChoku” commercial.

Chatmonchy, also known as the Awa Dancing Girls, took part as chorus singers.

A witty, humorous track themed around Murasaki Shikibu, a writer from the Heian period.

Before anything else, from atop the roadIsseifubi Sepia94rank/position

Issei Fubi Sepia “Dear Sir/Madam, From Above the Road” [Official]

The songs by Ichiya Fūbi Sepia, who debuted in 1984, brought a fresh breeze to the music scene of the time.

With lyrics likened to the life of a flower, they express the transience and beauty of life, resonating deeply with listeners.

Their works, marked by a distinctive style and philosophy, invite reflection on harmony with nature and the meaning of life.

This piece, in particular, serves as a true guidepost for life, teaching the importance of growing through adversity.

Their performances, evocative of traditional Japanese aesthetics, feature dance with arrangements reminiscent of Nihon-buyo, which adds to their appeal.

Give it a listen when you feel lost in life or are standing on the verge of a new challenge.

This is a cover of a Vocaloid song.

It’s so well-known that even people who aren’t very familiar with Vocaloid have heard of it.

When the PV plays, it conveys the song’s world and makes it even more exciting.

Incidentally, Sachiko Kobayashi has also covered it.

Kankaku Piero 'O.P.P.A.I' OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A song that could be called the reason it’s labeled “sensual-erotic.” The word “oppai” (boobs) appears 11 times in the lyrics.

But in fact, it’s a love song: even though the singer is captivated by breasts and feels like he might lose control, he still loves you.

The downside is that on first listen, it just sounds like a dirty joke of a song.

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai 'I Don’t Want to Get Out of the Futon'

This is a song that accompanies everyday life by contrasting the cold of winter with the warmth of a futon.

Its charm lies in the gap between the sound and the lyrics, expressing the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed in a relatable way.

Released in January 2018, the track garnered attention with its collaborative music video and can be said to fully embody Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s concept of “lifestyle-oriented loud rock.” It’s the kind of song that will bring a smile to your face on a cold morning.

A must-listen for anyone who struggles to leave the comfort of their futon on winter mornings.

Kishidan – One Night Carnival

If you’re prioritizing hype, this is the song.

Everyone can get pumped up together, so don’t overthink it—just have fun.

Once you’re in the mood, it’s easy to start dancing, too.

It might be a bit different from a ‘make-you-popular’ song, but it’s perfect for someone who takes the lead in hyping up the room at karaoke.
