Lost in BlueNIGHTMARE
It’s the opening theme of the anime Mouryou no Hako.
While there’s a certain darkness to it, the melody also unfolds like a wide blue sky, which gives it a bittersweet feel.
Right at the very end, a melody unlike anything before appears, and that part builds up tremendously.
The anime is originally based on a novel, but it matches surprisingly well with the visual kei style of the song.
Romance PromenadeNOVELA
A track from the Japanese progressive hard rock band NOVELA’s third album, Paradise Lost, which was released in December 1981.
I may have chosen a slightly niche song, but I picked it because it’s a truly wonderful ballad where vocalist Angie Hisakatsu Igarashi’s distinctive high-tone voice resonates beautifully, and I really wanted to introduce it here.
As of 2022, when I’m writing this, I imagine some people in their 50s might have covered this song and played it in their bands.
Even putting that aside, it’s a very beautiful ballad, so please enjoy it!
Rolling GirlNem
This is a Vocaloid track that makes you want to shout, “You can do it!” as you find yourself identifying with Miku, who’s tumbling helplessly down a slope without even being able to brace herself.
As she gradually learns to take a fall and even to roll, it evokes human growth and makes you realize the preciousness of growing as a person.
LonelyNulbarich
A bittersweet vocal intertwines with mellow sounds to create a song that sinks deep into the heart.
While it explores themes of loneliness and the regret of parting, the protagonist’s earnest wish to reunite with their loved one is conveyed through a sultry, alluring voice.
The captivating beat and chorus melody blend the poignancy and elegance of a mature romance.
Included on Nulbarich’s April 2021 album NEW GRAVITY, the track showcases a refined sense of groove in perfect harmony with JQ’s soulful vocals.
It’s an ideal song for a nighttime drive or for spending relaxed, intimate moments with someone special.
ROCKYOKAMOTO’S
In contrast to its positive, classic-style chorus, the song unfolds with heavy, gritty A and B verses—an approach that could be called The Okamotos’ signature, executed beautifully here.
Their skillful switch-ups, packing completely opposite elements into a single track and connecting them seamlessly, are nothing short of astonishing.

Created to commemorate THE BAWDIES × OKAMOTO’S SPLIT TOUR 2023 “ON STAGE,” Rock n’ Roll Star (feat.
ROY) features THE BAWDIES’ ROY as a guest vocalist.
The lyrics evoke an image of rock stars sharing the stage, something that’s sure to fire up any rock fan.
With its classic rock ensemble that cranks up the energy, it’s a rock tune that makes you look forward to the live show.
Rock n’ Roll Star feat. ROYOKAMOTO’S
OKAMOTO’S is a four-piece rock band formed by classmates from their junior-high days, featuring Hama Okamoto—the bassist and son of Downtown’s Masatoshi Hamada.
Their digital-only single “Rock n’ Roll Star (feat.
ROY),” released on June 21, 2023, drew attention for featuring ROY from THE BAWDIES.
The bassline, which gives the entire track a sense of speed, is striking, and the dynamic push-and-pull in the playing is sure to catch the ear of rock fans.
It’s a stylish number whose groovy bass performance adds vibrant color to the whole song.
