Long VersionInagaki Junichi
Composed by Yasuhiro Abe and also used in a commercial, it’s turned into a superbly mellow nighttime ballad by Junichi Inagaki.
The many songs grouped under the label “city pops” probably felt trendy, evoking the atmosphere of the urban night.
When I listen to them now and then, I feel like a city nightscape comes into view.
Worker MKinniku Shoujo Tai
A sharp-edged number from Kinniku Shōjo-tai, a band that has been at the forefront of Japan’s rock scene since the late 1980s.
The intro, which evokes the opening of a horror film, might be a bit scary to listen to alone at night!? The lyrics by vocalist Kenji Otsuki—who’s also active as a writer and essayist—are truly distinctive.
They fiercely reject every value system and all material wealth, to the point of making you wonder, “Is there any meaning in working?”—yet still manage to slip in moments that make you chuckle.
It’s a track I’d especially like young office workers to hear.
After a period of inactivity, Kinniku Shōjo-tai resumed their activities in 2006.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on what they do next!

The famous Vocaloid song “Roku Chōnen to Ichiya Monogatari” can now be found performed in many different styles by various artists on video platforms everywhere, including overseas.
Manon performs a gently rendered version on the koto.
That said, it’s a piece you’ll want to watch on video to fully appreciate—especially the suppleness with which she keeps up with the intense melody.

Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB
Kome Kome Club is an indispensable artist representing the ’90s, and their “Roman Hikō” is truly their signature song.
When you listen to it, it brings back memories from that time, gets you excited, and makes you want to set off on a trip.
It’s the perfect song for fellow forty-somethings to get fired up with at karaoke while reminiscing about the ’90s!
Romantic Flight (Acoustic Ver.)kome kome CLUB
An acoustic self-cover by Kome Kome Club.
It starts at a more relaxed tempo than usual and gradually builds dynamically with added brass and strings.
Tatsuya Ishii’s voice, enriched with the allure of age, is absolutely superb! The unwavering lead vocals, the supporting chorus, and the band’s solid cohesion are truly impressive.
Robinsonayaka
Ayaka is a singer-songwriter with a cool, soulful, and powerful voice.
Thanks to her vocals, she turns Spitz’s “Robinson” into a completely different, passionate song.
The falsetto in the chorus, her high notes, the fervent delivery—everything pierces the heart.
It’s a cover that’s truly compelling to listen to.
Wax MuseumSeikima II
Seikima-II’s songs, created as part of their long-running mission to conquer the Earth since the Showa era, are perfect for Halloween.
This particular track, a shocking piece released in April 1986, depicts the terror of a girl being turned into a wax doll in a mansion deep in the forest.
The lyrics hint at a brutal incident and the fear of losing tomorrow within it, sending chills down the listener’s spine.
The song was also used as an insert track in the anime Beelzebub.
It’s a highly recommended pick when you want to create a scary atmosphere at a Halloween party.
