World of AzureRemioromen
Although the three-piece rock band Remioromen announced a hiatus roughly ten years after their major-label debut, each member has been energetically active.
This is their sixth major-label single.
Used in a commercial for “Chakushin★Uta♪,” the song offers a refreshing arrangement that feels different from their signature tracks like “Konayuki” and “March 9.” Its sprightly beat, featuring clean guitar tones, evokes the crisp autumn air and wide, high skies.
It’s a track that makes you want to head out on a pleasant, sunny fall day, showcasing the broad musical range of Remioromen.
The Snake Charmer Who DyesInoue Ryo
The song produced by Ryo Inoue is a single that first aired in March 2022 on NHK Educational TV’s program “Bijutune!”.
Inspired by Henri Rousseau’s “The Snake Charmer,” this pop, catchy piece humorously depicts a female snake charmer who runs a dye shop, creating green dye from jungle plants.
Its inventive idea of turning a snake into a hot-air balloon to visit the streets of Paris is also particularly appealing.
Offering a fantastical world and a fresh perspective on art, this work is recommended for a wide audience from children to adults.
It will delight not only those interested in art, but also anyone who enjoys unique storytelling.

Saturday LoverYamashita Tatsuro
The 15th single, Saturday Lover, was chosen as the ending theme for the legendary variety show Oretachi Hyokin-zoku.
Its light ensemble and lyrics that evoke weekend nights are sure to heighten your sense of anticipation just by listening.
While the vocal range isn’t wide, there are many interval leaps, so it’s important to be mindful of each note as you sing.
For those of that generation, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going—a pop tune notable for its refreshing clarity and airy feel.
Not at all.Hinatazaka46
Hinatazaka46’s single “Sonna Koto Nai yo” is a slightly bittersweet youth anthem.
The frustratingly close-but-distant feelings with the boy you’re interested in from class will make your heart skip a beat.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to try a slightly more mature idol dance! It starts off with a cute vibe from the intro, but in the chorus the dance shifts to a cool impression and becomes more intense.
It’s a song that combines both cuteness and coolness.

Singer-songwriter Jun Shibata has covered Yumi Matsutoya’s “Graduation Photo.” With her calm, soothing voice and strong vocal ability, it’s a wonderful cover.

It’s a lovely song you’ll want to listen to on a rainy day.
Graduation PhotoHamasaki Ayumi
This is a cover by Ayumi Hamasaki, Japan’s songstress of the 21st century.
From vocal timbre to overall song atmosphere, Yumi Arai and Ayumi Hamasaki are completely different—you’ll struggle to find similarities.
Yet when you actually listen, it no longer feels like a song by Yumi Matsutoya; it seems to have transformed into an “Ayu” song.
A sense of a lovestruck maiden steadily spreads.
It’s the kind of cover you’d want to see released as a single.
