each timedai baku ha shin
I’m overwhelmed by the relentless onrush of sound.

The song brilliantly conveys inner conflicts—feelings of alienation within society and questions about justice—through the voices of Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto.
The progression toward a positive message of “becoming someone who is no one” is absolutely irresistible.
When I feel like I’m losing my sense of self, this song gives me a push forward.
Momentum for cleaningLucky Kilimanjaro
Lucky Kilimanjaro is a band that operates under the theme of “making every day around the world dance.” This track, included on their April 2023 album Kimochy Season, offers a unique perspective by reframing heartbreak as the positive act of “cleaning.” Its danceable, house-based beat and groovy brass tones feel good to the ears, and rather than dwelling on the pain of parting, they seem to deliver a refreshing push to move forward.
By decisively “throwing away” past memories and lingering attachments, you’re reborn into a new self.
That strong resolve is expressed through a sound brimming with playfulness.
It’s a stylish dance tune you’ll want to play while tidying your room to shake off a finished romance.
And then the two fell in love.Furuchi Toko
This is a ballad by Toko Furuuchi that captures the magical moment when two friends’ hearts quietly align and love begins.
Her delicate word choice—befitting someone known as the “Goddess of Love Songs”—gently nestles up to the listener’s heart.
The refined, stylish sound woven by piano and strings seems to express the sweet, aching exhilaration you feel when you’re sure your love is mutual.
The classic album Koi (Love), which includes this track, was released in August 1997, reached No.
2 on the Oricon chart, and won the Album Award at the 39th Japan Record Awards.
If a couple who’ve just started dating listen to it together, their time might feel even more special.

Cosmos of Light, the Song of the People of SodegauraSakushi: Shinozaki Junnosuke / Sakkyoku: Kawasaki Shouetsu
It’s a grand yet heartwarming piece that vividly evokes the scenery of one’s hometown.
Composed in April 1991 to commemorate a city’s incorporation, the story that it was distributed on cassette to every household at the time speaks to a deep affection for the community.
True to Mr.
Shinozaki, who has long portrayed the spirit of Tsugaru, the lyrics—filled with reverence for history and nature—resonate deeply.
The worldview that portrays cosmos flowers not merely as blossoms but as a “light” illuminating the city’s future is masterful.
Listening to this work will surely make you want to reflect on your own hometown or a place dear to your heart.
Sky PoemKubota Toshinobu
Released in October 2020, at a time when the world was gripped by deep anxiety, this ballad was unveiled like a prayer.
Woven from words Toshinobu Kubota jotted down during his time in self-isolation, the piece conveys heartfelt gratitude to those working tirelessly on the medical frontlines and a wish for a peaceful future.
His warm yet lustrous vocals deliver that earnest message straight to the heart.
Released alongside “Boogie Ride,” the song reportedly made his chest feel warmer the more he sang it in the recording studio.
Even amid harsh realities, when you’re doing your best for someone else, this song is sure to stay close to your heart.
That’s all.Fukuyama Masaharu
A pop number that sings of straightforward romantic feelings.
The pure sentiment that “your very existence means everything” rings refreshingly, carried by Masaharu Fukuyama’s warm vocals and a driving, exhilarating sound.
Released in August 2003, this track was featured in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial.
It held the No.
1 spot on the Oricon charts for five consecutive weeks and is also included on the album “5 Nen Mono.” One of the song’s charms is its catchy melody that everyone can sing along to and get excited about together.
It’s the perfect tune to listen to under the summer blue sky while thinking of someone special, or to have fun singing with friends at karaoke.
Solar WindPerfume
Perfume’s “Solar Wind” is a track released in 2025, included on the album “Nebula Romance: Part II.” The sound is digitally driven in a way that feels quintessentially Perfume, and its near-futuristic vibe conveys a sense of moving forward.
As the title suggests, the lyrics evoke outer space, and the imagery of heading into the distance also expresses a positive, forward-looking attitude.
It was also used as the theme song for a Gundam card game commercial, which further reinforces that sense of optimism.
