This is a track by Nulbarich, one of the bands that helped lead the movement.
It was included on their 2019 mini-album “2ND GALAXY.” The song gained attention after being featured in a TV commercial for the watchmaker Citizen.
Its sweet, gentle vocals and sound arrangement evoke a neon-lit urban night.
The lyrics carry a message of moving forward with a positive outlook, so it might give you a boost when you’re feeling down.

“Room Share” is a song by OSTER project released in April 2024.
With its gentle vocals and cozy melody, it’s a delightfully light and breezy piece.
The illustration is by mani, and the video by Meira.
The lyrics portray the relationship of two people sharing a room, and you can’t help but feel warm inside.
The euphoric electronic sound is irresistible, too.
It might be the perfect Vocaloid track to kick off a new chapter in life.
loose-leaf paperP.I.MONSTER
The straightforward, innocent lyrics really grab me.
P.I.MONSTER is a rock band formed in 1996.
The vocalist, Takao Hasegawa, is from Tottori Prefecture.
Hasegawa’s warm, powerful voice delivers the feelings embedded in the lyrics straight to listeners’ hearts.
Although P.I.MONSTER disbanded in 2005 to much regret, they reunited in 2013 in response to passionate fan support.
My recommended track is “Loose Leaf.”

The legendary band RED WARRIORS led by Diamond Yukai.
They were really cool back then, and they’re still cool even now! Their biggest hit, “On Russian Hill,” remains a beloved number to this day, even being covered live by GLAY.
