Unrequited lovemiwa

Singer-songwriter miwa.
Since she has provided theme songs for multiple TV dramas and films, many of you have probably heard her music.
She is a young female singer-songwriter currently in the spotlight, combining both popularity and talent.
In this song, straightforward feelings are expressed directly in the lyrics, which many listeners are likely to relate to.
The Flarethe HIATUS

the HIATUS is a four-piece rock band led by Takeshi Hosomi, who’s also been very active lately as the frontman of ELLEGARDEN and MONOEYES, as well as in his solo work.
Their song “The Flare” is a captivating track with a beautiful worldview.
It offers a charm that’s distinct from ELLEGARDEN and MONOEYES.
Sweet! Sweet! Music!ikimonogakari

Ikimonogakari is a trio loved by a wide range of people.
Their charm lies in uplifting songs with bright vocals and melodies that make you feel energized.
The track we’re introducing today, ‘Sweet! Sweet! Music!’, is a lively song that showcases their appeal to the fullest.
PONPONPONkyarī pamyu pamyu

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is a hugely popular artist who enjoys overwhelming support mainly from younger generations.
She’s said to be wildly popular not only in Japan but overseas as well.
The secret to her international appeal lies not only in the culture of “kawaii,” but also in the fact that, although her lyrics are in Japanese, her songs—like this one—are easy to sing along to even if you don’t understand Japanese.
Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi

Elephant Kashimashi is captivating for their fiery, masculine songs.
Their track “Kono Koyoi no Tsuki no Yō ni” also conveys a hot-blooded, cool masculinity.
The encouraging lyrics make it a wonderful song that fills you with courage as you listen.
I definitely want to hear this one live.
