salamanderShinonome Akito & Shinonome Ena × Hatsune Miku

The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
Released in 1992, this is Yasushi Nakanishi’s signature hit ballad that became synonymous with him.
Although it peaked at No.
16 on the Oricon charts, it turned into a long-running hit, selling a total of about 900,000 copies.
Many artists, including Kiyoshi Maekawa, Kumi Koda, EXILE ATSUSHI, and Ms.OOJA, have covered it, so it’s fun to look for a version in a vocal range that suits you.
I used to practice this song a lot in vocal training, and I remember it having a lot of the “na” sound.
Because “na” tends to be nasal, if you produce the sound carelessly, it becomes quite hard to sing.
If you articulate clearly with a conscious accent on each instance, it should be easier to sing.
Give it a try!
Hypnosisyūri
Released in November 2025, this track was created as the image song for Lucia, a character from the popular China-developed action RPG Zenless Zone Zero.
The lyrics, composition, and arrangement were handled by ATOLS, also known as a Vocaloid producer.
It features a distinctive, dreamy yet refined electronic sound.
The lyrics, themed around sleep and the realm of dreams, are rich with storytelling that invites listeners on a fantastical journey.
Perfect for fans who want to immerse themselves in the game’s world!

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.
