cool summerimie
A Japanese-style song by imie that evokes beautiful summer scenery.
Released in August 2020, it later became the title track of the album “Reika.” Hatsune Miku’s clear vocals conjure cool, summery memories.
The gentle melody and intricate arrangement weave a sonic world that feels like a summer evening at dusk.
It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to savor the bittersweet passing of the seasons or quietly sink into your memories at night.
Rainy Driverimase
Set against a rainy-day drive, this gem by imase delicately portrays the subtle dynamics and emotional shifts between lovers.
The rain that starts after crossing the Shuto Expressway mirrors the cold distance growing between the two, sensitively expressing the moment when a once-sunny relationship begins to cloud over.
The frustration of trying to convey your feelings only to be met with feigned indifference, and the hope that two parallel lines might one day converge, resonate alongside the sound of the rain.
Featured on the May 2024 album “Bonsai,” this track is highly recommended for anyone struggling with the instability of love or those who want to savor the special atmosphere of a rainy day.
Rainy HighwayNagie Lane
Nagie Lane is a vocal unit known for a music style centered on city pop.
They embody classic Japanese city pop in a straightforward way, and their appeal lies in a clean, unfussy performance.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Rainy Highway.
It’s sung across the mid-low to high registers, and the chorus features a fairly high falsetto.
Due to the structure of the vocal lines, you can’t rely on breaths or tricks to get by, so it’s a song that truly demands solid vocal ability.
Les Enfants du Paradisworld end girlfriend
Inspired by the film Children of Paradise, this track is a signature work by Katsuhiko Maeda that fuses a wide range of genres—rooted in post-rock and electronica, while incorporating classical and noise elements.
Over its extended 7 minutes and 28 seconds, majestic strings, distorted drums, circus-like melodies, and chiptune-style synths intertwine to build a cinematic, dramatic soundscape.
Released in September 2010 as part of the album SEVEN IDIOTS, it was accompanied by an advance music video.
Despite being an instrumental piece, it vividly conveys through music the poetic and theatrical qualities of the film depicting the 19th-century Parisian theater scene.
It’s a perfect choice when you want to focus on work or immerse yourself in a cinematic atmosphere.

Released in May 2025 to commemorate Ms.
Reiju’s 15th anniversary of her debut in Japan, the single turns her own story into music bearing her artist name.
