Zero -zero-NEW!tuki.
Singer-songwriter tuki., whose mysterious allure has taken the music scene by storm.

Rainy RhapsodyNEW!WEST.
WEST.’s “Rainy Rhapsody” carries the gently moistened air of the city.
It’s included on their 11th full-length album, A.H.O.
-Audio Hang Out-, released in March 2025.
Written by Shintaro Namioka and Takuma Ohara of Penthouse, the track is marked by intricate chord progressions and key changes, resulting in a chill medium-tempo ballad that highlights the warmth of live instruments.
It portrays a touch of lingering heartache and emotional wavering suited to rainy days, softly accompanying a melancholic mood.
It’s the perfect song for a leisurely afternoon at home, listening to the sound of rain.
Be sure to add it to your mellow, seasonally themed playlist.
rainy ladyNEW!shigure ui
Rainy Lady is a wistful track where moist, rain-like sounds intertwine with a heartrending vocal.
The song was included as an original piece that colors the closing section of illustrator and VTuber Shigure Ui’s first full album, “Mada Ame wa Yamanai,” released in May 2022.
Written specifically for the album by Junky, known in the Vocaloid and doujin music scenes, it’s a delicate, ballad-leaning mid-tempo pop song in which rainy imagery overlaps with shades of emotion.
The lyrics depict a love so keen that even the smallest everyday gestures become impossible to ignore, beautifully meshing with Shigure Ui’s gentle lyricism.
In July 2023, a music video by Mic-kun was released, allowing listeners to immerse themselves even more deeply in the song’s world.
It’s a track you’ll want to savor on a quiet rainy night, reflecting on your inner self.
Rainy BlueNEW!Tokunaga Hideaki
Rainy Blue is a song that enjoys enduring popularity as a go-to karaoke ballad.
Alongside Kowarekake no Radio, it stands as one of Hideaki Tokunaga’s biggest hits.
This piece is crafted as a heartbreak song brimming with pathos, and its dynamics are correspondingly quite pronounced.
In fact, the final chorus is sung in mixed voice to add power, but for amateurs this technique is pretty hard to imitate.
In that case, raise the key and sing it in falsetto.
Since the lowest note is B2 (mid1B), you’ve got plenty of room to raise the key, which makes it easier to sing without strain—so be sure to find a key that matches your vocal range!
0 heartsNEW!sasaki
This is a track released in March 2026 by Vocaloid producer sasaki.
It’s an electropop number featuring Kasane Teto SV on vocals, with an impressive worldview where a certain dryness of emotion and the emptiness of human relationships seem to lurk behind its accessible sound.
It’s highly addictive, and since the song itself is short, you’ll want to put it on repeat.
A modern Vocaloid piece that feels like it extracts a cross-section of our digital society.
LeoNEW!Yuuri
Singer-songwriter Yuuri, who captivates countless listeners with his overwhelming vocal prowess.
Featured on the album “Ichi,” released in January 2022, this work is a moving ballad that portrays the bond between a dog and its owner.
Told from the perspective of a beloved dog, the everyday moments—and the poignant farewell that eventually arrives—resonate deeply alongside Yuuri’s richly emotive vocals.
Following the release of the music video, views surged rapidly, and by August of the same year, total streams surpassed 100 million.
It’s a warm song that comforts not only dog lovers but anyone who cherishes time with their loved ones.
A masterpiece that teaches us the preciousness of everyday life—something we often realize only after it’s gone—and one that’s impossible to hear without tears.
Let you go feat. HIROTO (INI)NEW!chanmina
When it comes to the perfect collab track for giving a gentle push to someone important, you can’t leave this one out.
It’s an emotionally rich mellow ballad by Chanmina and INI’s HIROTO, Kaito Nishi.
The story—where the bittersweet act of quietly letting go for the other person’s future intersects with the joy of reunion—truly tugs at the heartstrings.
Released as a single in March 2026, it was a milestone track unveiled just before the album “LEGEND.” You’ll be irresistibly drawn into the profound expressiveness that only two people who once shared the same time could create.
I highly recommend it to anyone facing a turning point in life or in need of the courage to move forward.
