Feel the fleeting brilliance that burns out in an instant!
Ryoma Sakamoto: Dreaming of Japan’s DawnAkioka Hideharu
Since his debut in 1991, Shuji Akioka has centered his career on barroom enka and songs about life.
Beginning in 2024, he embarked on a new series themed around heroes of the late Edo period.
This work, released in November 2025 as the second installment following the previous song about Takamori Saigo, is a historical romance enka portraying the life of Sakamoto Ryoma.
From the arrival of the Black Ships to the Satsuma–Choshu Alliance and the “Eight Policies on Board,” it powerfully sings of Ryoma’s dream of a “dawn of Japan.” A robust melody and Akioka’s characteristically rich, mature vocals are a perfect match, making this a remarkably satisfying track to hear.
Summer Againdustbox
A melodic punk number where the ache and hope of a long-distance relationship intersect.
It sings of memories with a lover who promised a summer reunion, and the reality of flights being canceled due to bad weather.
Released in December 2018 as the B-side to the single “Farley,” it was later included on the May 2019 album The Awakening.
SUGA said it “turned into a bittersweet love song,” while also revealing it carries gratitude toward his bandmates.
Highly recommended for anyone still carrying the frustration of a summer when you couldn’t meet.
SandpaperSHANK
This track was included as the B-side to the single “Midnight Grow,” released in January 2024 under the band’s new lineup.
As their first recorded material with new drummer Naoki Hayakawa, it aims for a sound that sits between straight-up melodic hardcore and an acoustic arrangement.
The lyrics, which portray a desire to stay sincere while accepting one’s imperfections, are also memorable.
The guitar solo—less about sheer speed than before and exuding a mature confidence—is another highlight.
If you’d like to experience the band’s new level of maturity, be sure to give it a listen.

March of 365 StepsSuizenji Kiyoko
Released in 1968, this kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song) is characterized by its bright, upbeat, march-like rhythm.
Sung by Kiyoko Suizenji, the number carries an encouraging message about moving forward while cherishing the small steps we take each day—making it perfect for January as we welcome a new year.
The lyrics resonate with hopeful expressions about the importance of advancing one step at a time and how beautiful flowers bloom along the footprints we leave.
In 1969, it was chosen as the entrance march for the National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament, and it has since become a classic frequently used in anime and commercials.
At New Year gatherings or recreational events, singing it together can lift everyone’s spirits and help kick off the year with energy.
Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE
Among women in their 40s, there are surely many who want to sing DREAMS COME TRUE! While many DCT songs feature repeated high notes, “Thank You.” stays relatively within the mid range.
The overall vocal range is E3–C#5.
It’s more rhythm-focused than high-note-focused.
With a tempo of 127, it’s neither too fast nor too slow, making it easy to sing.
When you sing it, try to keep a conversational, natural feel.
For the occasional high notes, be mindful of the accents—think of attacking each note one by one.
Clearly pronouncing the vowels will also make the high notes easier to hit! The key modulates upward in the latter half, but try not to overthink it and sing it comfortably.
punching bagDADA
Released by dada in October 2025, this work leaves a powerful impression despite its brief length of about a minute and a half.
The duet between Kasane Teto and Otomachi Una unfolds like a “brawl,” a clash of emotions.
It portrays a relationship tangled in dependence and self-loathing, set to a fast-paced electronic sound.
It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who’s found themselves repeatedly getting hurt through relationships with others.
