This piece drew attention with lyrics and composition by Vocaloid producer DECO*27 and arrangement by tepe.

It’s included on Snow Man’s album “Onko Chishin,” released in November 2025.

Centered on the theme of “jealousy,” which is cute yet somehow frightening, it exquisitely blends a pop sound with slightly twisted words of love.

It’s an irresistibly addictive number that sticks in your head after just one listen—perfect for anyone seeking something stimulating in their music.

April 1King&Prince

With the group now a duo and even establishing a new company in May 2024, King & Prince continue to take on fresh challenges.

This track, included on their album “STARRING,” is a breezy pop number written and composed by Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimonogakari.

Built around the unique concept of a “theme song for a fictional film,” it deepens its appeal by linking with a visual world themed on time loops.

The message—encouraging us to savor the present moment, including the excitement of a new beginning and even those complex feelings that are hard to put into words—really hits home.

It’s a perfect song for days when you need the courage to step into a new environment, or for a spring day when you want to share a laugh with someone special.

Shunrai / Fuki no Tō (1979) [Lyrics] 2024 [No. 6]
spring thunderfuki no tō

It’s a lyrical folk song that makes you want to look up at the sky just as Hokkaido’s long winter comes to an end.

Released as a single in February 1979 by Fukinotou, it was also included on the album “Jinsei • Haru • Oudan” and is cherished as one of their signature numbers.

The lyrics, written and composed by Yasuyo Yamaki—said to carry a prayer for his ailing mother—resonate with the unsettled feelings that come with the change of seasons, striking a deep chord.

Ichizo Seo’s arrangement dramatizes both stillness and intensity, powerfully stirring the emotions.

Fans also know that this song marked their first appearance on “Yoru no Hit Studio” in March 1979.

As graduation season blends farewells with new departures, why not listen to it amid the mix of anxiety and anticipation that comes with taking a new step forward?

ShihoriGorin Mayumi

From a single photograph tucked into a half-read book, one quietly looks back on a past love… This is a heart-piercing ballad that paints such a poignant scene.

Written and composed by singer-songwriter Mayumi Itsuwa, this hidden gem appears on her album “Nokoribi,” released in December 1978.

It isn’t a flashy single, but it has remained beloved by fans across time—so much so that a rare live recording was included for the first time on her 2022 best-of album.

The contrast between the gentle spring sunlight and the depiction of parting as someone leaves the room is both beautiful and sorrowful.

Rather than forcing ourselves to forget the past, we tuck it softly into our hearts and move forward.

On a graduation-season evening, why not listen to it alone?

BoyhoodInoue Yosui

The moment that beautifully wistful piano intro begins, a flood of nostalgic scenes unfolds before your eyes—this is one of those timeless classics.

Released as a single by Yosui Inoue in September 1990, it was written as the theme song for the film “Childhood Days.” Though it portrays the melancholy of summer fading away, its universal nostalgia transcends seasons and resonates deeply during times of graduation and farewell as well.

In 1991, it also drew attention as the song used in Sony’s “Handycam” commercial, and over a long period after its release, it achieved million-seller status.

The world woven by its beautiful Japanese lyrics and melody is irresistible for adults who find themselves looking back on their youth.

It’s a standard number I hope those embarking on new beginnings will listen to, alongside memories that never fade.

sugarNaisho no piasu

It’s a highly addictive rock track where sweetness and pain intertwine.

The song is by Naisho no Pierce, the Vocaloid producer known for “Proposal,” and its music video was released in December 2025.

Created as an image song for the manga “And Then the Hero Lies,” it also aired in a TV commercial in October, so many of you may have heard it already.

KAF’s emotional vocals brilliantly capture the feelings of a protagonist seeking love while carrying trauma.

The worldbuilding, swaying between conflicting emotions, is quintessential Naisho no Pierce.

It’s a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complex feeling that “the more you love, the more it hurts.”

SecretKaneko Yuuki

If you’re looking for a Vocaloid track perfect for the Christmas season, how about this one? It’s a piece released by Vocaloid producer Yuki Kaneko in December 2025, featuring an energetic drum and bass–based arrangement that really stands out.

The lyrics offer a slightly bittersweet perspective—“the secret about Santa you come to learn as you grow up.” The clear, straightforward voice of Kasane Teto SV captures both the sparkle of winter nights and the pains of growing up.

Give it a careful listen.
