Introducing songs that start with 'Ta' from popular J-POP! (261–270)
Time BombUP-BEAT
Released in September 1987 on the album “inner ocean,” this track drew particular attention as one of its most striking songs.
It’s an energetic rock number whose lyrics channel a spirit of defiance against the times and a strong will for self-expression.
With distinctive turns of phrase, it conveys the importance of holding on to dreams and ambition.
Showcasing UP-BEAT’s musicality that brought a fresh breeze to Japan’s rock scene of the era, it’s a perfect recommendation for those who want to stand by their convictions or make a bold statement to the world.
Touch offUVERworld
UVERworld, whose name means “to go beyond our own world,” continues to evolve just as their name suggests.
Their 34th single, “Touch off,” chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime The Promised Neverland, features UVERworld’s signature complex song structure and passionate saxophone tones that really elevate the energy.
The heavy, forward-driving beat and memorable choral work not only align with the anime’s worldview but also conjure up the excitement of a live performance.
It’s a loud, expansive rock tune that makes you want to raise your fist and sing along.
TerrorismUZUMAKI
UZUMAKI is a band I’d recommend not only to fans of heavy metal but also to those who like hip-hop.
They’re pioneers of rap metal, delivering solid, hard-hitting rap over the raw power of heavy metal.
You can also sense death metal elements, such as the inclusion of shouts.
In any case, their sound is incredibly intense, so I suggest starting by listening to their tracks.
If you go through their albums in order, you’ll also get a feel for the band’s history.
Before the departureWANIMA
This is a support song from WANIMA dedicated to everyone taking a new step forward.
It warmly conveys the greatness of getting back up again and again, and the importance of turning past failures and regrets into strength for the future.
WANIMA’s hallmark upbeat sound overflows with a refreshing energy that makes your body sway before you know it.
Released digitally in April 2021, the song was also chosen as the theme for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks’ “Fight! Kyushu” project.
It’s a track that gently gives a push to those starting a new chapter or facing challenges right now.

The lyrics depicting hope and trials are striking.
It’s a single by WINO released in December 2000, and it was used as the opening theme for the second season of the anime series.
The lyrics carry a strong message centered on loss and rebirth, and it features an alternative, emotional rock sound.
It ties in with the story of the Yorknew City arc, which portrays the battle with the Phantom Troupe, and it really gets your heart pounding.
Time Lag! feat. Moto (Chilli Beans.)WurtS
Let me introduce “Time Lag! feat.
Moto (Chilli Beans.),” a track with an addictive ’80s-style sound.
This piece was created by WurtS together with Moto, and after its first unveiling at an event, word of mouth spread quickly.
WurtS crafted the song with an ’80s theme, giving it a city-pop vibe.
The lyrics celebrate the fun and excitement of romance between a man and a woman, making it a perfect choice to hype up a karaoke session.

True to the unit’s concept of turning novels into music, this YOASOBI track is a song that portrays a moving story connecting the Taisho era with the present day.
