A song by the two-member idol unit BABYMETAL, popularly known as “Bebimeta,” which is highly acclaimed overseas for its theme of fusing idols and metal.
The track was used as both the opening and ending theme for the infotainment program ‘Girly Boat,’ and although it was released as a digital single exclusively in the UK, it’s known as one of BABYMETAL’s signature songs.
The explosive combination of metal sounds with EDM rhythms and their cute vocals creates a finely tuned sense of imbalance that’s uniquely addictive.
It’s a sweet yet dynamic metal number that seems to express both the sweetness and bitterness of chocolate.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Soramijuku, also known as the creator of “Let’s easy music,” released in 2015.
This electric piece features an impressive stereo-swaying synth sound, and its charm lies in the soft timbre of both the instruments and the vocals.
The more you listen, the more flavor it reveals.
If you’re in the mood for nostalgia, be sure to give it a play.
I want to eat Koharu Rikka’s dango.Kazehara
The gap between the musical tone and the lyrics became a hot topic in “I Want to Eat Koharu Rikka’s Dango.” This piece was created by Kazehara using the singing voice synthesis character Natsuiro Karin.
While the calm, piano-accompaniment-like sound is striking, the lyrics take a curious turn, expressing a desire to eat dango made by the Vocaloid character Koharu Rikka.
At times grand and at times delicate, the song weaves a heartfelt ode to dango.
Beyond its uniquely imaginative lyrics, the beautiful vocals and sound are also highly captivating!

An alternative rock number inspired by sweet, soft confections, its striking contrast with a darker reality leaves a strong impression.
Centered around lyrics woven by Helsinki Lambda Club’s Kaoru Hashimoto, the song captures everyday anxieties and inner conflict through a distinctive worldview.
Released as a digital single in April 2022, it was later included on the mini-album “Hello, my darkness,” which came out that July.
Its dreamlike music video—created in collaboration with a Slovenian filmmaker—also drew attention.
The track blends a laid-back mid-tempo groove with airy guitar textures and electronic elements, making it perfect for late-night drives or quiet moments alone.
Highly recommended when you want to face the sweet-and-bitter feelings within your heart.

The time spent making treats with heartfelt care is a happiness that nothing can replace.
It’s a perfect number to cue up while preparing for Valentine’s Day.
