Night of the RobotShinsei Kamattechan
Shinsei Kamattechan is an internet pop-rock band.
It was released in 2014 as a digital-only distribution.
True to the nature of an internet band, this video combines footage of the members performing in a dark forest with radiating light imagery as a single cohesive work.
You could call it an advanced performance format characteristic of the YouTube era.
It makes me feel as if my body and soul are sinking into a deep world.
June 11shinmon
This is a track whose straightforward, no-nonsense lyrics by Kobe-based rapper Jinmon hit straight to the heart.
The lyrics capture the shock of stepping into a club for the first time, and it’s a classic that conveys the message: I’m here by your side, cheering on a man chasing his dreams.
Lonely cocoaAkiyama Kiiro
Akiyama Kiro, a singer-songwriter who blends a rock flavor into catchy J-pop, is popular among young people.
He’s known for the depth of his lyrics, which consistently inspire a lot of interpretation among fans.
His classic track “Lonely cocoa” is a song that makes it relatively easy to score a perfect 100.
While the chorus jumps up an octave and there’s a single falsetto note in the bridge, there aren’t any particularly difficult parts otherwise.
In fact, since the song leans more toward the mid-to-low range overall, as long as you stay on pitch, it’s a track where you can definitely aim for a perfect score.
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.
Lost UmbrellaInabakumo
This song is known for its somewhat ennui-tinged worldview and addictive melody.
It’s a track packed with Inabakumori’s distinctive sensibilities, released in 2018 and included on the album “Anti-Cyclone.” It became a big hit that drew attention from overseas Vocaloid fans as well.
Despite its driving tempo, it manages to sustain a bittersweet mood throughout—that’s what’s so remarkable about it.
I recommend listening to it on a rainy day while gazing out the window.
It’s sure to be a moving experience.
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.
