In that casemakaroni enpitsu
The emotionally resonant song by Macaroni Empitsu has been selected as the opening theme for the second cour of the anime Blue Box.
Its lyrics, themed around unrequited love and bittersweet romance, beautifully capture the ache and warmth of youth.
The emotional rock sound and vocalist Hattori’s expressive singing fit the series’ world perfectly.
Released as a digital single on January 3, 2025, the track will resonate not only with anime fans but also with anyone struggling with love.
It’s a song I recommend listening to alone on a quiet night.
From heregunjō no sekai
This song by Gunjou no Sekai will be released in February 2025.
It features an emotional melody and a driving piano sound, filled with determination and hope for a fresh start.
The lyrics by Katsuhiko Sugiyama weave in past wounds, regrets, and thoughts about the future, and are sure to resonate with listeners.
The members have said, “We want people who are troubled by something, or who need the courage to move forward, to listen to it.” It’s a recommended track for those in the midst of their youth or anyone ready to take a new step.
Be sure to lend an ear to their vocals, overflowing with heartfelt emotion.
flareSuperfly
The theme song “Flare” from the NHK morning drama Scarlet is a fun and pleasant track that’s very Superfly.
It’s a strong, poppy, and dramatic song that fits well in any karaoke scene.
With both uplifting highs and softer moments, it’s a song you can sing freely and comfortably.
Inconvenient Cuteness feat. Aina the End (BiSH)Jenīhai
Jenny High is made up of a pretty unconventional lineup, including Enon Kawatani from Gesu no Kiwami Otome and Kookie from Yasei Bakudan.
This track features AiNA THE END from BiSH, adopting a female twin-vocal style, making it a perfect song for two women to duet at karaoke.
The lyrics, performance, and melody are all razor-sharp—have fun singing it!
That’s good too.kocchi no kento
Kocchinoken, a multi-creator whose household name skyrocketed with the 2024 hit song “Hai Yorokonde,” released a track in May 2025 titled “Sore mo Ii ne,” written specifically as the theme song for the children’s TV program The Wakey Show.
Because it was composed for kids, it’s extremely catchy and easy to remember, with a melody that even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy singing.
For example, it would surely be a hit at family karaoke when a dad sings it for the children.
Of course, it’s also great for adults to sing together and feel like kids again!
