Dear dropsTani Yuuki

A tender, soaring vocal that sinks into your heart—this is an emotionally rich ballad by Tani Yuuki.
Based on the first song he wrote in high school, it represents the very origin of his journey as a singer-songwriter.
The lyrics, which layer subtle emotional nuances onto the motif of “tears,” gently touch the listener’s heartstrings and awaken a poignant ache.
Released as a digital single in June 2025, it also serves as an advance track from the album Navigator, released the same month.
Give it a listen when you want to quietly immerse yourself in music or spend a night reflecting deeply on your own feelings.
HeavenMrs. GREEN APPLE

Starting with a sacred atmosphere and unfolding into an unexpectedly dramatic development, this is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s single from May 2025.
The song was written as the theme for the film “#I Will Tell You the Truth,” starring Omori.
It portrays human beauty and fragility, and its story-like composition lends it overwhelming persuasiveness.
It’s a perfect track for moments when you want to reflect on the meaning of life or reconsider the time you spend with someone important.
NocturneYahagi Moeka

It’s a message song where anguish and hope intersect.
Performed by Moeka Yahagi, it was released in May 2025.
The monologue-like lyrics and heartrending melody are striking, and by the time it ends, you’ll feel a lump in your throat.
You can sense her inner conflicts and loneliness, as well as her resolve to face forward and live—and it really resonates.
It’s a dramatic number I’d love people who feel lost in life to hear.
paintingŌmori Motoki

This work reveals a new side of him as a solo artist—one that stirs the heart deeply.
Released in May 2025 as part of Motoki Omori’s first solo digital single in about four years, it’s marked by quiet, mysterious soundscapes that seem to gently speak to the listener’s inner self.
The lyrics express a poignant wish: for someone to portray his existence using colors only he possesses, and to see even the parts of himself that feel wretched as something beautiful.
It’s a song whose warm melody soothes deep sorrow and loneliness, leaving a lasting impression.
Put it on during a quiet night when you want to be alone with your thoughts.
SakuraMyuk

A fleetingly beautiful love ballad that resonates with the heart as spring arrives.
Released by Myuk in March 2025, “Sakura” sings of lingering attachment and a sense of farewell to a loved one you can no longer meet.
Her mysterious, gentle voice seems to tenderly envelop an unfulfilled love.
Coupled with the song’s dramatic progression, it’s truly a tearjerker.
It’s the perfect track for a quiet spring night, sitting by the window and getting lost in thought.
