existenceNEW!Ozaki Yutaka
It’s a classic song from the 1985 second album “Kaikisen” that questions the importance of accepting yourself amid inner conflict and facing challenges with love and sincerity.
The lyrics encourage confronting the city’s shadows and pain, reexamining your true self, and finding the strength to make a fresh start.
The pitch leaps sharply from the chorus, which may be tough for some singers.
You’ll need a solid breath before hitting the high notes; after taking in plenty of air, let your voice ride that recoil and it will come out smoothly.
Aim your voice as if projecting into the distance.
Take care not to strain too much.
The name of that painting isNEW!Chōchō P
It’s a bittersweet yet powerful rock track that feels like pouring out everything pent up in your heart.
Created by long-active Vocaloid producer Chouchou-P, the piece was released as a video in February 2026 and was written specifically for the smartphone game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!” The lyrics leave a strong impression, conveying a firm resolve to start drawing something again on a blank white canvas, even while carrying setbacks and anguish.
The arrangement—where piano melodies intersect with an intense band sound—showcases Chouchou-P’s distinctive artistry.
It’s a song that will quietly give you a push when you’re feeling stuck.
That’s good too.NEW!kocchi no kento
This piece was specially written as the ending theme for NHK Educational TV’s “The Wakey Show.” It’s a track released by Kocchinoken-to in May 2025 and is also included on the EP “Kekka All Right EP.” Set to a light, marching-style rhythm, it carries a warmly affirming message that wholly embraces being yourself and celebrating differences.
Its upbeat, morning-friendly vibe and its encouragement of children’s “likes” make it a perfect listen for Children’s Day, when we wish for their healthy growth.
In the program, the characters called the Wakeys also sing, and it’s fun for parents and kids to enjoy together by copying the choreography.
Let’s celebrate Tango no Sekku with gentle hearts that embrace diversity.
So Tender…LUNA SEA
This piece, which closes out the album CROSS, exudes a maturity befitting the milestone of their 30th anniversary.
Co-produced with the world-renowned producer Steve Lillywhite and originally composed by INORAN, this medium-tempo ballad features lyrics that, amid images of cold rain and the moon, evoke a palpable warmth that truly moves you.
Its deliberately understated ending, which leaves a profound afterglow, is also superb.
Released in December 2019, the album CROSS received high acclaim, including topping the Billboard JAPAN comprehensive chart.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side when you want to cherish the pure resonance of the vocals over flashy developments, or when you want to spend a quiet night alone, lost in memories.
I’ll be by your side.Uru
In the warm, gentle weather of spring, the desire to stay with the one you love grows stronger, doesn’t it? This song, sung by singer-songwriter Uru, was released in November 2022 as the theme song for ABEMA’s romance show “We Got Married 4.” It also drew attention for being written and composed by singer-songwriter Yuuri.
It carries a warm message—like a wedding vow—about always staying by your partner’s side, no matter what.

Not at all.Hinatazaka46
The lyrics are striking for how wholeheartedly they affirm someone feeling down about cutting their bangs too short.
It’s a warm yet fast-paced number that cheers you on, saying you’re cute no matter what.
Released in February 2020 as the 4th single and also included on the album “Hinatazaka,” this song features Nao Kosaka as center.
Its nostalgic, kayōkyoku-style melody paired with intense choreography became a hot topic, and it sold over 500,000 copies in its first week.
