Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
This is ‘Chijō no Hoshi’ (Stars on the Ground), the theme song of NHK General TV’s ‘Project X: Challengers.’ It evokes the brave people featured on the program who fight day after day, while also strongly conveying the will to battle loneliness.
Recommended for those crucial, decisive moments.
Moonlight StationSEKAI NO OWARI
This worldview makes my heart flutter.
A mid-tempo track included on the 2015 album “Tree.” Written and composed by Fukase, it’s an ambitious piece that incorporates various traditional Japanese sounds like shamisen and koto, overflowing with Sekai no Owari’s romantic charm.
It evokes a beautiful atmosphere reminiscent of the unreachable cosmos and the moon—so lovely.
The irresistibly catchy, comfortably grooving melody makes your body move, and the love story set on the “Moonlight Station” is downright swoon-worthy.
It’s a song that will put a smile on your face, perfect for a summer night sky.
Stardust StageChekkāzu
It’s The Checkers’ classic song ‘Hoshikuzu no Stage’ (‘Stage of Stardust’).
Set to a slow yet powerful 6/8 meter, Fumiya Fujii and the band unleash their passion with explosive emotion.
That feeling hits you hard on this side, too.
The Checkers, so full of charm, are truly one of a kind.
fireworksaiko
When it comes to summer, it has to be this song: Aiko’s “Hanabi.” Who else could come up with an expression like “hanging from a constellation”? I’m in awe of Aiko’s sense.
It’s a song overflowing with Aiko’s world, where phrasing that carries a touch of melancholy lingers beneath the girlish energy and excitement.

Some of you may remember that the album reached No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart.
The lyrical world, crafted by Toshihiko Takamizawa and lyricist Yukinojo Mori, is uniquely charming—heading out to the edge of the universe on a sparkling airship for a picnic.
The song captures the protagonist’s excitement for a futuristic date with their loved one through a floating melody and dramatic song structure.
With their signature rock foundation layered with diverse sounds, the cyber-pop vibe really lifts your spirits.
It’s a perfect track not only for a picnic under blue skies, but also as a great companion for a drive.

A medium-tempo single released by Arashi in 2004.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Minami-kun no Koibito,” the track was written and composed by Fumiya Fujii and overflows with a romantic mood.
Its glittering, galaxy-like worldview becomes even fresher and more charming when sung by Arashi.
The sense of a vast, space-evoking connection heightens the bittersweet, youthful atmosphere.
The straightforward vocal style lets you savor each member’s voice, which is fantastic; and although its sales are on the lower side among their singles, it remains a timeless classic.
