Introducing songs starting with 'Ta' from popular J-POP! (191–200)
Taisho Romantic40mP
As the title suggests, this is a track that lets you study the Taisho era.
It’s a song by 40mP, a Vocaloid producer who has been active on the front lines of the Vocaloid scene for many years, released in 2017.
It’s included in the textbook with CD and video, “MUSIC STUDY PROJECT: Learning Junior High School History with Vocaloid.” The pop sound has a somewhat retro vibe—so lovely.
The sound alone is soothing.
The lyrics tell a love story set in the Taisho era, making for a heart-fluttering finish.
Let’s follow the story while learning about history.
Song of DepartureAAA
A ballad by AAA that stays by your side when you take a new step forward.
With a melody that resonates deep in your heart and powerful lyrics, it gently embraces the complex emotions that come with moving or setting off on a new journey.
Beautifully expressing gratitude for past memories and hope for the future, this ballad single was released in January 2009.
Its charm lies in the vocals that showcase each member’s unique character.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Future Century Shakespeare” and ranked high on the Oricon charts.
It’s the perfect song for anyone facing a life milestone such as graduation or moving.
It will clear the clouds of a heart mixed with anxiety and anticipation.
Turning UpARASHI
Of course, perfectly copying it is quite difficult.
But it’s easy to incorporate parts of the dance.
In fact, I feel the choreography is designed so anyone can dance it.
In particular, the dance made up only of upper-body movements on the airplane seems perfect for SNS dance covers and “I tried dancing” videos—it’s probably already trending.
I think the quick steps before the chorus will take a lot of practice to master.
But it looks cool, and it feels great when you can do it, so give it a try! The catchy phrases are very satisfying to listen to and make great background music, too.
TarirariraAWAYOKUBA
AWAYOKUBA is a four-piece funk band from Osaka and a highly skilled group that won the Grand Prix at FM802’s “MUSIC CHALLENGE 2009” in 2010.
Their sound, which makes you want to start dancing, is performed in an orthodox funk style, yet it also carries the heat and power of punks.
In 2011, they released their first album, “AWAYOKUBA,” and went on to perform at Fuji Rock and RUSH BALL.
Unfortunately, the band disbanded in 2012 after their keyboardist Ando left, but if you want to feel some fiery funk, they’re a band you should definitely check out!

Turn Up The SpeakersAfrojack
It makes you want to clap along and dance like crazy to the beat! It’s an EDM tune produced by Afrojack and Martin Garrix, released in 2014.
Just the fact that it’s a collaboration by two world-renowned artists tells you it’s no miss.
The bass that pushes against your eardrums feels so good.
You’d want to have a playlist filled with this kind of electric music made to make the subwoofers rumble, right?
What is certain lies in the darknessB’z
A hidden gem from the ’90s that delicately portrays adult romance.
The saxophone, imbued with the scent of the bubble era, leaves a strong impression and fills the track with an oh-so-adult mood.
Included on the album “RISKY,” released in November 1990, it’s notable for its rare city-pop vibe for B’z.
Paired with its sophisticated arrangement, it conjures imagery like a scene lifted straight from a film.
The chorus doesn’t sit too high in range, making it one of the easier B’z songs to sing.
Recommended for those who love mature love songs or want to enjoy a new side of B’z.
At karaoke, if you deliver it with a calm presence, you’re sure to captivate the room.
twilightBEGIN
A track released for streaming on New Year’s Day 2021.
It’s a soothing song whose spaciousness evokes majestic nature and the gentle atmosphere so characteristic of BEGIN.
It stirs up feelings of nostalgia and longing for home, as if rising with the sunset.
Higa’s vocals, radiating warmth and compassion, are deeply moving and seem to smooth the rough edges of everyday life.
It leaves you with the comforting sense of having returned to your hometown.
