It’s the coupling track included on the regular edition of the single “truth / Kaze no Mukō e,” released in August 2008.

Since it was used as the CM song for House Foods’ “Tongari Corn,” featuring all the members, many of you might find it familiar.

With a summery, refreshing melody and a light, upbeat rhythm, just listening to it naturally brings a smile to your face.

There are many five-member unison parts that make it easy to remember, and the vocal range is comfortable, so it’s perfect for livening up the mood at karaoke.

It’s also a beloved hidden gem among fans, so why not pick it when you need a boost of energy?

SPECIAL THANKSGLAY

A signature ballad by GLAY, a band that represents Japan’s rock scene.

As the title suggests, it’s a grand piece that sings of “special thanks” to a loved one, featuring a melody that blends into the slightly melancholic air of autumn.

Released in August 2000, the single became a million-seller and was used as the theme song for the film “Mirai Nikki.” It was also included—by fan vote—on the acclaimed compilation “DRIVE-GLAY complete BEST,” making it a quintessential GLAY number.

SmileMori Nana

Mori Nana’s debut song “Smile” is actually a cover of a classic by HOF DYNAMITE from 1996.

I didn’t know this myself until a student told me when they said they wanted to sing “Smile.” We watched the original PV together and really felt the era! “Smile” has a relatively narrow vocal range, but it suddenly jumps up in pitch in the C section.

If you’re not comfortable with high notes in chest voice, use your head voice skillfully in that part.

My student practiced that section a lot—raising the facial muscles and aiming the voice straight up in a narrow, focused way.

Also, if you lock into the rhythm where the words flow continuously, it helps you place accents more consciously and makes them easier to produce.

Try singing it carefully with that in mind.

Steal The Showtimelesz

When it comes to the group that truly stepped onto a new stage and drew major attention in 2025, it has to be timelesz.

This track, included on the single released in November 2025, is their first CD release under the new lineup—a full-throttle dance number.

With lyrics that weave together their history and resolve for the future, and a driving, exhilarating beat, you’ll be swept up by their passion the moment you hear it.

Chosen as the support song for basketball broadcasts on Nippon TV, it carries a powerful energy that feels like a push on the players’ backs.

It also made headlines when it was first performed at Yokohama Arena in August 2025.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to fire yourself up or need the courage to take on a challenge—definitely give it a listen.

When it comes to singers who have made a brilliant transition from idol to enka, Yoko Nagayama is the name that inevitably comes up.

Cradling a Tsugaru shamisen and singing with a dignified stance, she is a beautiful, truly skilled vocalist.

She debuted as an idol in 1984, scoring a huge hit with her cover of “Venus.” Then, in 1993, she relaunched her career as an enka singer with “Higurashi,” and made her first appearance on that year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.

She has an array of accolades, including the Japan Cable Radio Awards, and in 2013 she also gave a successful performance at Carnegie Hall in New York.

The solid vocal technique and expressive power she honed through folk songs transcend language barriers.

She’s an artist I highly recommend not only to those who remember her idol days, but also to anyone who wants to experience the world of authentic enka.

The moment that stylish intro comes in—like sprinting through the city at night—the atmosphere changes in an instant, doesn’t it? A signature track from Suchmos, this dance number coolly captures the frenzy of Friday nights and offers a sly jab at people who just go with the flow.

Beyond pure enjoyment, it carries a firm message: “Trust your own sensibilities and choose what’s real.” Every listen makes you want to straighten your back, doesn’t it? Released in January 2016 as the lead track from the EP LOVE&VICE, it also drew attention later that year when it was featured in Honda’s VEZEL commercials starting in September.

Its sophisticated sound, tinged with neo-soul and jazz, is perfect for late-night drives or those moments when you want to step out alone and feel the night breeze.

Savor this classic that colored the youth of the yutori generation.

Released in November 2025, this work is a collaboration between DÉ DÉ MOUSE and namitape.

It portrays a uniquely decadent feeling—being trapped in a post-apocalyptic supermarket yet somehow finding it strangely comfortable.

Layering Yuki Kaai’s vocals over a sound that fuses melodica cut-ups with synth-pop creates a floating sensation.

The contrast between the slightly shadowy atmosphere and the sparkling pop texture makes for a highly original piece.
