LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE
This track, included on the album ANTENNA released in July 2023, squarely asks how we confront loneliness.
It portrays the protagonist’s introspection as they try to take a step forward despite their weakness and sense of stagnation, with lyrics that are striking for the heartbeat that emerges not by rejecting loneliness, but by accepting it.
In live performances, it’s unveiled amid a spectacle of pillars of flame in the darkness, and despite being an album track, it instantly raises the venue’s energy with its commanding presence.
The sound—where dark emotionality coexists with the driving force of dance music—is truly one of a kind.
It’s a song that quietly stays by your side on nights when you want to face yourself or when you want to confirm the feelings deep in your heart.
Christmas Waiting at the LodgeMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya’s song delicately depicts the quiet of a moonlit ski slope and the aching feelings of the protagonist waiting in the lodge.
The way the heart alone seems to glide—chasing a distant echo of a lover’s voice, slipping past windows and doors—symbolizes just how strong the longing is for someone far away.
Included as the opening track on her 1978 album “Ryūsenkei ’80,” the piece was also used as an insert song in the 1987 film “Take Me Out to the Snowland.” It’s a perfect song for that special scene of waiting for someone dear at a ski resort on Christmas night.
RomanceMarushii
This is a song by Marcy, a three-piece rock band from Fukuoka.
Released digitally in October 2025, the track candidly expresses a longing that grows painfully strong and a wish to stay together forever.
As the narrator counts the things they love about the other person, their desire to fulfill this once-in-a-lifetime, special romance resonates in the heart alongside a warm melody.
The song was chosen as the theme for the fashion event TGC Kitakyushu 2025 and is also included on the album “Flavors,” released in November 2025.
It’s a heartfelt pop-rock tune recommended for anyone who’s experienced a bittersweet unrequited love or who feels happiness in everyday moments with someone special.
Royal Straight FlushMinase Iori (Kugimiya Rie)
Like casting a spell in front of the mirror, I want to make my day the very best.
That wish is sung over a pop sound in a track performed by Iori Minase, a popular character voiced by Rie Kugimiya.
The song playfully captures the thrill of transforming with cosmetics in hand, likening it to the strongest hand in poker—an irresistible touch.
The confident vocals perfectly align with her persona as an elegant, high-born idol.
This piece was included on the CD “PETIT IDOLM@STER Twelve Seasons! Vol.9 Iori Minase & Io,” released in March 2013, and also served as an image song for “Puchimas! -Petit Idolmaster-.” It was performed live in January 2018 as well.

The illicit setup of “a teacher speaking about a conspiracy in the classroom” is simply brilliant.
Teto Kasane’s expressive vocals add convincing weight to the warped truths being told, while the dark, slowly encroaching sound arrangement is equally compelling.
A perfect song for when you want to immerse yourself in a mysterious story.
