Graduation (feat. Shuto)hannya
Rapper Hannya, who headlined a successful solo show at the Nippon Budokan and in recent years has carved out a unique presence as an actor, returns with a digital single released in February 2026 featuring guest artist Hiito, who is based in Okinawa.
The track is marked by a calm, piano-centered beat.
Its candid lyrics that lay bare past memories intertwine with Hiito’s emotionally rich vocals, quietly tightening the listener’s chest.
The unadorned episodes—bittersweet memories of youth and the struggles of younger days—seem to gently embrace the farewells and pains that everyone experiences.
It’s an emotional song that gives you the courage to carry your past and move forward at life’s turning points, such as graduations and new departures.
Take your time and let it sink in.
existenceOzaki 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 isChōchō 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.
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.
