lonelySLACK
A three-piece band bursting with a sense of speed and youthful energy.

Their energetic live performances and songs that resonate with their generation are sure to hit especially hard with young melodic hardcore fans.
They’re playing live across Japan—including Shizuoka, Aichi, Kanagawa, and Osaka—so be sure to check for updates!
I hate the June rain.hiruneko
This is a song by hiruneko, woven with Hatsune Miku’s transparent vocals to capture feelings that seem to melt into the long rains of the rainy season.
Released in 2018, the piece expresses the gloom and loneliness we feel on damp, rainy days with a light, upbeat sound.
The stylish blend of piano rock and synth draws you in.
It carries the dampness of rain yet somehow feels refreshing.
Since it’s themed around a “rain woman,” those who feel they fit that description might find it relatable.
June 9Suga Shikao
A gem-like ballad by Shikao Suga that sets memories with loved ones and the emotion of loss to a profound melody.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar, which seem to softly embrace the sense of loss, and the vocals that seep into the heart make this a particularly striking song.
Featured on the October 2024 album “Acoustic Soul 2014–2024,” the track sublimates feelings for a longtime ally into music.
The album “Acoustic Soul 2014–2024” is an ambitious work that revisits Suga’s musical roots in soul music and reconstructs them through an acoustic approach.
It’s a song that will resonate with many people—one you’ll want to listen to while hearing the rain during the rainy season, or sing while thinking of someone dear.
LonerNEK
A shocking piece that showcases the high-technological guitar work of NEK!, a girls’ rock band drawing buzz online.
It opens with melodious chord strokes, then unfolds into guitar riffs that fuse speed and melody alongside wistful lyrics.
In the chorus, dazzling techniques like blinding tapping and sweeping come in succession, delivering technical performances that set them apart from the typical image of a dainty women’s rock band.
Known as one of the most technical tracks on the EP “TR!CK TAK!NG,” it was released in March 2025.
The playing by Natsu—whose overwhelming musicianship forms the band’s backbone—conveys her sincere commitment to guitar expression.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to revel in a performance that expands the possibilities of the guitar.
lowernuyuri
An electro-swing style piece that instantly grabs the heart.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer nuyuri in November 2021, it was written specifically for the mobile game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” While the groove is upbeat, it carries a subtly shadowy atmosphere.
The lyrics, which project a heartfelt desire to “stay connected with you,” exude a bittersweet feeling.
It’s perfect for those who want to sing something stylish and cool.
Rollin’ Rollin’Zūkaraderu
The three-piece rock band Zutto Kadareru from Sapporo, Hokkaido has sparked buzz with a new song they wrote in April 2025 as the opening theme for the nationwide tour “Junmai Daiginjo” by the comedy duo Ginshari.
Brimming with exhilarating drive, the track pairs its sound with lyrics that capture the emptiness of everyday life and feelings toward the repetitive days—words crafted by Takanobu Yoshida that also hint at hope beyond the end.
This special collaboration, realized in a milestone year marking the band’s 10th anniversary and the duo’s 20th, had its first on-air premiere on a TOKYO FM program on April 22, followed by the music video’s release on the official YouTube channel the next day.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those feeling worn down by daily life or seeking a force that compels them forward.
Rollin’Out feat. PlayssonJASMINE
JASMINE is a highly skilled singer-songwriter who has won popularity with her overwhelming vocal power rooted in R&B, soul, and gospel.
Her track “Rollin’ Out feat.
Playsson,” released in October 2024, is a slick, city-pop-inspired number where refined arrangements blend exquisitely with ’90s-style R&B elements—a stylish, bona fide killer tune that’s perfect for a night drive.
The groove-focused melodic lines are particularly challenging for those not used to them, and unlike typical J-pop, the boundaries between verse, pre-chorus, and chorus are quite ambiguous, flowing very seamlessly.
As a result, it takes solid technique to keep the performance from sounding flat.
Try taking it on with a male duet partner who’s good at rap!
