Sexy Japanese songs exuding an adult atmosphere and allure

Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Jun Shibata – Shoujo (Live Video + Released Audio)

girlShibata Jun

Contrary to its title, Jun Shibata’s “Shoujo” (“Girl”) is brimming with mature allure.

Released in 2004, it’s the opening track on her third album, Hitori.

It’s a ballad where Shibata’s unadorned, straightforward vocals pierce the heart.

The lyrics describe a protagonist who still carries the sting of a bitter first love from her girlhood, and listening to it fills you with a poignant sadness.

It’s a superb song that I especially want adults—those who’ve weathered many bittersweet romances—to hear.

Yuji Nakada, the former vocalist of Tsubakiya Shijusou—a band that disbanded in 2010—sings “Yuuwaku,” a stylish track with a dark, sophisticated chord progression.

It was included on the download-only EP “Usukurenai” released in 2014, and a different version mixed for the album appears on that year’s “BACK TO MELLOW.” Its Japanese AOR-style sound perfectly suits a mature vibe.

In the live video posted on the official YouTube channel, the piano—with an even stronger jazz feel—elevates the performance even further.
