Ready?Iwatatakanori
A track by Takanori Iwata, performer from Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE, included on his first full solo album “The Chocolate Box,” released in October 2022.
It was pre-released for streaming in August 2022 ahead of the album.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, and the tune itself is crafted to be easy to hum, so what feels most crucial when singing this song is how well you can reproduce its groove.
It’s probably best to learn it together with the dance performance and enjoy the whole package!

Ray of Waterarashi
This song, performed as a celebratory piece for His Majesty the Emperor’s enthronement, drew attention because it was sung by Arashi, a nationally beloved idol group.
It was memorable to see Crown Princess Masako moved to tears while listening to the song.
The lyrics, which wish for someone’s happiness, and the gentle melody linger in the ear, making it a very comforting track to listen to.
LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME（Short Ver.）Kawashima Michiyuki (BOOM BOOM SATELLITES)
The rock unit BOOM BOOM SATELLITES, affectionately known as “Bunsate,” featured guitarist-vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima, who was from Morioka City in Iwate Prefecture.
Formed in 1990, they debuted in 1997 on Belgium’s R&S Records, a label regarded as hugely influential in the techno scene.
Their distinctive fusion of techno and rock earned acclaim both in Japan and abroad, expanding their reach.
In 2016, Kawashima sadly passed away at the young age of 47, and the following year Bunsate ended their activities.
Even so, their blend of uplifting beats and immersive band sound still sounds incredibly cool today!
Ready toKagemori Michiru (Morohoshi Sumire)
It’ll make you want to clap along to the beat.
This song was used as the opening theme for the anime BNA: Brand New Animal and is sung by Sumire Morohoshi, who voices the protagonist, Michiru Kagemori.
It’s an exhilarating uptempo track with razor-sharp guitar that’s a joy to listen to and really pumps you up.
The four-on-the-floor rhythm makes it easy to get into, too.
The lyrics carry a passionate message—We’re moving forward into the future!—that’s truly encouraging.
Perfect for when you want to lift your spirits.
Rainy BlueTokunaga Hideaki
This is the major debut single by singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga, who has earned enduring popularity with his distinctive high-tone voice and lyrical singing.
Given how many prominent musicians have covered it, chances are everyone has heard it at least once.
The lingering feelings for an unforgettable, precious person intertwine with the rainy scenery, and Tokunaga’s androgynous, translucent vocals double the sense of poignancy.
Its fragile, beautiful melody soothes a wounded man’s heart, making it a quintessential unrequited-love song.
Love FrontlineNarumiyaryo
Ren’ai Sensen (Love Frontline) by Vocaloid producer Ryo Narumiya is a track packed with unique charms you won’t find elsewhere.
The featured Vocaloid is GUMI, and the fusion of rapid-fire vocals with a rock-tinged sound makes for a very cool result.
Next, pay attention to the lyrics, which liken romance to warfare.
As you listen, you’ll feel that love involves drawing up plans, advancing and retreating—much like a battle.
Putting these two appeals side by side, it becomes clear that the rock flavor is there to express the intensity of the fight.
latencyNisshoku Natsuko
A song I especially want people who feel uncertain in their everyday lives to hear is “Latency.” It was included on singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku’s 2017 album Parrot, delivering soulful tracks crafted from her unique perspective.
Centered on piano and drums, the sound is simple yet deeply moving.
Alongside her dynamic performance and vocals, you’ll feel a powerful message.
It’s a rock number that will resonate with anyone thinking, “I just feel kind of muddled…”
