sweets paradeRoromiya Karuta (Hanazawa Kana)
Sweets Parade by voice actress Kana Hanazawa was used as the ending theme for episode 6 of the anime Inu x Boku SS.
Hanazawa also appears in the anime as the character Karuta Roromiya.
Set to a cute melody and vocals, the lyrics feature a parade of sweets—shortcake, chocolate, soft-serve ice cream, Mont Blanc, and more.
Just like the title suggests, it’s a full-on parade of sweets unfolding within the song! Just listening might make you hungry! The wordplay elements are fun, too.
It’s also a great pick for BGM while enjoying some sweets.
sugar chocolate waffleShibayan
It’s a Vocaloid song with delightfully cute and bouncy chiptune sounds! Created by Shibayan, a Vocaloid producer also known for Touhou arrangements, it was released in 2008.
The lyrics will make you crave waffles more and more the more you listen.
The lively, fast-paced rhythm is probably another reason it puts you in that mood! There are tons of derivative works based on this song, so if you’re curious—or already hooked—be sure to explore them!
Gimme Chocolate!!BABYMETAL
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.
a pitch-black doughnutHelsinki Lambda Club
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.
Song of BowloTokyo Haiji
“Bouro no Uta” is a song themed around bouro, a snack babies often eat.
Sung with the gentle tone of a nursery rhyme, it was created by Tokyo Heidi, a sister creator duo who make illustrations, animations, and picture books.
The lyrics, told from the perspective of the bouro, express its wish to be eaten by a baby and to make the baby happy.
But then, the bouro rolls right off the plate! Hard to be found, it sadly wishes it had a shape that wouldn’t roll.
In the end, though, it’s picked up and eaten, making this a heartwarming song that leaves you feeling cozy.
Blueberry PieYuka
Singer-songwriter Yuka, who spent her childhood in the United States and Switzerland and has experience performing in musicals during elementary school.
Her digital single “Blueberry Pie” became a hot topic as a track sound-produced by MONKEY MAJIK.
Carried by a stylish arrangement with a Western pop sensibility, her vocals reveal both the depth of her artistry and a new side of her.
It’s a chill pop tune with a soft yet cool melody that lingers in your ears.
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!
