Release Your BodyKAITO
Kaito’s debut album Special Life, released by a prestigious German label, sent shockwaves across the world.
Its shimmering synth melodies and deeply immersive beats weave a sound that feels like a scene from an epic film.
Though it’s techno, there’s a nostalgic, wistful tunefulness that seeps into the heart.
Precisely because it’s an instrumental with no lyrics, each listener’s own “special story” vividly comes to life within.
It’s a masterpiece perfect for a quiet night when you want to surrender yourself, alone, to a universe of sound.
Re:birthAcid Black Cherry
This is a passionate rock number that portrays rebirth from deep despair.
Released in August 2010 as the ninth single after yasu underwent vocal cord surgery and recuperation, it was chosen as the theme song for the PlayStation 3 game “Another Century’s Episode: R.” The lyrics, said to reflect his unvarnished feelings during recovery, are the very cry of a heart clawing for light while struggling in darkness.
Its dark, fast-paced sound merges with a vocal delivery that is both powerful and delicate, shaking the listener’s soul to its core.
When you hit a wall in life and feel your spirit about to break, if you long to overcome your circumstances, this song will surely kindle a light of hope in your heart.

This is a song by Kintsugi featuring Hatsune Miku’s beautifully clear, translucent vocals.
It was submitted to the NEXT program for “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku” and released in May 2023.
The lyrics depict worries and inner conflicts in everyday life, offering comfort to listeners.
It’s a light, uplifting track that reminds us of the importance of moving forward.
A full display of the Kintsugi world, it’s a number that blows away rainy-day blues.

RESTARTElefanto Kashimashi
This work, presented by Elephant Kashimashi to commemorate their 30th anniversary, is a powerful song that heralds a new beginning for the band.
Used as the theme song for a Fuji TV drama, it showcases a superb fusion of Hiroji Miyamoto’s overwhelming vocal prowess and the band’s robust, no-frills sound.
The lyrics, which sing of restarting one’s life and the will to take on new challenges, are sure to resonate with many listeners.
Released in 2017, it became Elekashi’s 50th single.
In the music video, Miyamoto plays a salaryman, conveying the importance of continuing to pursue one’s dreams.
I believe it’s a song that offers courage and hope to those struggling with work or life.
Reincarnationrokudenashi
Rokudenashi is a music project that operates in a style where various Vocaloid producers create songs for the singer Ninjin.
They have released numerous hit tracks to date, including “Tada Koe Hitotsu” and “Reincarnation.” Their hallmark is a breathy vocal style that conveys a sense of fragility and wistfulness, and I believe many people love voices like Ninjin’s.
By inviting different Vocaloid producers for each song, they continue to release a wide range of tracks while steadily building their own unique artistic world.
Rin-nekoi ga owareba
Rin-ne is a chill-rap artist popular among young people.
Rather than hard, backbone-heavy hip-hop, he raps in a style that’s essentially the same as mainstream J-pop, which makes his songs especially appealing to women.
Among his tracks, the one I particularly recommend is “Koi ga Owareba” (“When Love Ends”).
It’s not a low-register song, but because the vocal range is very narrow, it’s easy to boldly drop the key.
If you sing it with a slightly whispery tone, you can showcase your low notes in a modern, clean style—definitely give it a try.
The Refrain Is ScreamingMatsutōya Yumi
A signature song by singer-songwriter Yumi Matsutoya that sings of the pain of heartbreak and lingering regret.
Included on the album “Delight Sight Light KISS,” released in November 1988, it became widely loved beyond Yuming’s core fans, even topping the cable broadcasting charts.
The lyrics, with their memorable, repeated questions, vividly capture the emptiness and remorse that follow a breakup.
Emotions depicted from both male and female perspectives give the song a universal theme that resonates with many.
It’s a moving classic recommended for anyone who has experienced a parting or is struggling with a relationship with someone important.
