Taxi mansakuran zensen
A noisy punk band you can fall for in a single listen—so good it makes you think, “If I’d heard them in high school, my life probably would’ve changed.” That’s Sakuran Zensen.
Their razor-sharp sound brims with respect for the punk greats who came before, and it’s irresistibly compelling.
Their recordings and MVs crackle with their intensity, but if you can, I really want you to experience it live at a club.

While steadily building her acting career and winning many awards, she released four singles by 2010.
Although she has been the subject of much controversy and is currently on hiatus, many fans are likely eagerly awaiting her return, captivated by her enduring beauty.

Created by Vocaloid producer MoiMi Kashii, known for “Cat Loving,” it was released in 2020 and included on the debut album Katsuai, which came out the same year.
Changing yourself depending on your partner, going with the flow as you spend time together, and in the end, being left with nothing but emptiness—it’s a piece that makes you reflect on the distance between people.
Miku’s cool, sultry vocals match the tone of the song perfectly.
Tiger in my LoveOnitsuka Chihiro
This track is included on the third album Sugar High, released in 2002, whose striking impression is capped by a photo of Onitsuka staring at the camera with a blonde hairstyle.
Although it wasn’t released as a single, it’s a song that carries a rock-to-pop sense of speed within an album largely filled with slow ballads, giving it a somewhat distinctive, even unconventional feel.
Led by a tumbling piano tone and a busily played bass line, Onitsuka’s vocals—delivered in a lower register with a rapid-fire rush of words—are simply electrifying, cool, and stylish.
That said, no Onitsuka Chihiro song would end there; the thrilling exchange of words, with her signature Onitsuka flair in full force, is something you can only experience in her music.

Among her signature works, one that stands out for its uniquely crafted content is “Help Me, Doraemon.” You know the anime Doraemon, right? This song depicts Nobita Nobi, the protagonist, after he has grown up, calling out to Doraemon for help.
There’s a certain wistfulness to it, yet listening to it gives you courage.
Keep an ear out for lyrics like that.
Also, for those familiar with the anime, it’s packed with little touches that will make you grin.
