lettuceaobouzu
When you hear a song titled after a vegetable, you might expect something with a wholesome vibe, but this track overturns that preconception with an energetic rock tune.
It carries a powerful message about shedding the burdens stuck to your heart and reclaiming your freedom.
Released as a digital-only single in February 2019, it further fueled the excitement of the band’s nationwide tour celebrating their 15th anniversary.
This piece speaks for the feelings you have when daily stress and anxiety threaten to crush you—the kind that make you want to scream inside.
Its driving melody and forceful lyrics are uplifting, giving you the courage to take a step toward tomorrow.
Re:Nishiwaki Ayaka
Ayaka Nishiwaki, affectionately known as Chaapon, is the younger sister of Ayaka Nishiwaki—better known as A-chan from Perfume.
The sisters also work together, hosting a radio show called “A-chan and Chaapon’s West Side Story.” Her occasional Hiroshima dialect intonation is adorably charming! Although activities as 9nine are currently on hiatus, she’s been active solo, appearing on radio programs and in commercials for local Hiroshima companies.
Definitely keep an eye on her future endeavors!
REDHEARTAkai Haato
Akai Haato, a VTuber from hololive.
She’s a first-generation member and now leads her juniors as a veteran.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is REDHEART.
Since she has study-abroad experience, she’s proficient in English, and she showcases that in her music—you can even enjoy an English rap in this track.
Her voice is incredibly cute, so if you’re looking for a new idol to support, be sure to check her out.
Lesson llchōtokkyū
Choutokkyuu is a music unit formed by members selected from the artist collective EBiDAN.
Active across film, drama, and variety shows, they released Lesson II in 2023.
Blending the string quartet performance of the opera Carmen with a danceable beat, the track becomes a sleek, sultry piece of dance music.
The lyrics, depicting a mature romance, carry a subtly thrilling edge.
Paired with their cool vocals, the song delivers a deep, passionate love.
ReimeiSanketsu Shoujo Sayuri × MY FIRST STORY
The anime Golden Kamuy has fans all around the world.
Its second season’s opening theme is Reimei.
Many people say its catchy, refreshing sound sticks in their heads.
The song is a collaboration between singer-songwriter Sayuri and the rock band MY FIRST STORY.
Be sure to pay attention to their beautiful harmonies as well.
Also, don’t miss the music video, where Sayuri appears in cosplay as the main character, Asirpa.
LADY PINK PANTHERSuzuki Shigeru
Shigeru Suzuki, who made his mark as the guitarist of Happy End and went on to play in historically important Japanese groups like Caramel Mama and Tin Pan Alley, remains an active musician even in the 2020s.
While his solo debut masterpiece Band Wagon is often cited as the definitive Suzuki solo work, here I’d like to introduce Lagoon, released in 1976 and hailed as a pioneering city pop classic.
Recorded in Hawaii with trusted allies like Haruomi Hosono and Tatsuo Hayashi on board, and lyrics by his Happy End bandmate Takashi Matsumoto, the album captivates with a nostalgic, laid-back sound that evokes bossa nova and Hawaiian AOR.
Suzuki’s playing—showcasing acoustic guitar and ukulele—and his soft vocals, the mellow groove from Japan’s proud rhythm section of Hosono and Hayashi, and the tasteful horn arrangements and Mark Levine’s elegant electric piano all intertwine into a finely crafted ensemble that is a true pleasure to hear.
Suzuki’s genius for songwriting effortlessly transcends the confines of conventional kayōkyoku, and the superb contributions from the participating musicians are nothing short of astonishing.
It’s a wonderful classic that perfectly suits a summer evening’s soundtrack.
