LEGITINI
INI is an idol group formed on the audition program PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SEASON2.
Their style, which strikingly seems to draw directly from the musicality of K-pop—a recent trend—has won them popularity through high-level performances.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its striking high notes is LEGIT.
Centered on hip-hop, it primarily stays in the low to mid-high range, but in the latter half it features high parts that use mixed voice.
Late Night WalkIchika Nito
Guitarist Ichika Nito—also active as a member of Dios and ichikoro—has been gaining attention in Japan and abroad for his enchanting sound woven from a single guitar.
His digital single “Late Night Walk,” released on November 13, 2023, immediately draws you into its world from the opening.
The clear, spacious guitar tone evokes vivid scenes even without vocals.
It’s a mellow instrumental piece distinguished by a truly one-of-a-kind ensemble.
Let it goIdina Menzel
We can’t leave out this song for this theme.
A massive hit worldwide! It’s from the movie Frozen—the main theme song.
I often listen to the Japanese version, but some of you might be hearing it in English for the first time.
Changing the language can bring a different kind of emotion.
Highly recommended.
RadioVisionJO1
JO1 is an 11-member boy group that even appeared on the 2022 Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Their song “RadioVision” carries the message that “this very moment we’re enjoying together will become a memory.” JO1 is well-known for handling a wide range of songs, from ballads to dance numbers, but their exceptionally danceable disco tunes are especially cool! It’s a perfect track for summer and fits a driving playlist perfectly.
Also, keep an ear out for how past song titles are woven into the lyrics.

LadyJanne Da Arc
This is a track included on their second indie mini-album, Resist, released in 1998.
It’s known that when the keyboardist kiyo was about to leave the band to pursue a career as a jazz musician, the vocalist yasu composed this song to persuade him to stay.
It’s a cool-sounding piece that combines jazz-inspired melodies with rock.
Legend of〜Janne Da Arc
Although it was a song created during their indie days, it was widely known among fans as a classic.
It was first released in CD audio format on the best-of album “SINGLES,” which came out in 2003.
It’s a grand ballad that compares a beloved person to an angel.
RED ZONEJanne Da Arc
In 1999, the year that truly capped off the ’90s, Janne Da Arc made their major-label debut with the single “RED ZONE.” While presenting themselves as a visual-kei band, they earned strong support not only from women but also from men and young band musicians, thanks to songs that reflected hard rock and heavy metal influences and the band’s high-level instrumental prowess.
Among V-kei tracks, there aren’t many where every instrument asserts itself this fiercely right from the intro, are there? Together with the distinctive melody delivered by soaring vocals, this classic track showcased their direction to the world as a young rock band.
