Songs whose titles start with “Ri” (21–30)
rip-offNEK
NEK!’s “rip-off,” set for release in 2025, is an impressive track marked by a sense of speed that conveys palpable tension.
Throughout the song, the sound feels intense, with the guitar and bass standing out in particular for their aggressiveness.
From the very beginning, the slap bass strikes hard, setting the rhythm while firmly expressing the song’s lyrical hostility.
Since slap bass drives the track, its lightness and sharpness come across clearly in the performance.
Remind Bluejin
A track placed in the latter half of the 3rd album “Mekakucity Reload,” released in November 2018.
Its blend of lyrics that recall bygone youth and an emotional band sound is striking.
As you listen, you may find memories of summers past suddenly resurfacing—perhaps you feel the same.
There’s an atmosphere of looking back on the past from an adult’s perspective, after the tumultuous days of the story have ended.
It’s a number I especially want those revisiting the world of the Kagerou Project after a while to hear.

regretday after tomorrow
A gem of a ballad included on the album “primary colors,” released in February 2004.
Though not a single, it’s cherished among fans as a hidden masterpiece.
Vocalist misono’s richly expressive voice poignantly conveys both regret and gratitude for time that can’t be reclaimed.
The story of two people who drifted apart due to unspoken words comes into focus, and as you listen, a bittersweet ache wells up.
Try listening alone on a quiet night, letting the gentle sounds carry you back through your memories.
ribbonOkazaki Taiiku feat. Ikeda Ayako
Ribbon, sung by Taiiku Okazaki and Ayako Ikeda, is a song released in 2025 and announced as the CM song for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation’s Trunk.
Centered on piano and wind instruments, its acoustic sound conveys an overall calm atmosphere.
The arrangement, with Ayako Ikeda’s gentle harmonies layered over Taiiku Okazaki’s lead vocals, evokes an image of people kindly supporting one another.
The commercial depicts people striving as they launch startups or take over companies, conveying how Trunk supports them.
The smiles of those working hard, combined with the warm music, create a positive mood.
gentianWANIMA
A song written as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “The Forensic Doctor Asagao.” In karaoke, it’s a challenging ballad that demands both high notes and expressive delivery! You can really feel WANIMA’s style, with soaring high notes woven into the flowing melody line.
The overall vocal range is B2–D5, and the chorus jumps into the high register all at once, so I’m worried people might strain their throats.
Also, there’s a prominent upper harmony from the chorus, so be careful not to get thrown off by it! It might help to sing with accents that resonate forward in the mask as a basic approach.
Plus, if you carry the same breathing feel from the verse into the chorus, you’ll likely run out of breath and your voice will choke.
Time your breaths and make sure to exhale fully as you sing!
Trendy Angelinajon-YAKITORY
Released in November 2025, this track is a work by jon-YAKITORY featuring Hatsune Miku V4X.
Following in the lineage of past songs like “Chaos Boogie” and “Yamada PERFECT,” it’s a dance number characterized by a strong swing feel and grooves rooted in Black music.
The lyrics reject so-called “correct answers” such as studying and perfectionism, portraying the mindset of young people who want to enjoy life according to their own values.
When you feel like unleashing your dreams and impulses, listen to it while jumping your heart out!
