taxiMiyake Ken
After his activities as part of V6, Ken Miyake has continued to pursue new forms of expression as a solo artist.
Released in February 2025, this track rides on a breezy pop-rock sound to portray the end of a bittersweet romance.
The lyrics vividly capture the pain of heartbreak—like the final exchange at a taxi stand and lingering regrets mirrored in the retreating taillights—striking straight to the heart.
It also drew attention for being crafted by members of macico.
Positioned as a new chapter following the album “THE iDOL,” the song’s contrast between its bright melody and sorrowful lyrics only heightens the sense of poignancy.
It’s a track that seems to keep you company on nights when you want to dwell in the afterglow of a breakup, or when you just can’t let go.
Typhoon Generationarashi
This single, released in July 2000, was used as the image song for the event “Odaiba Dot Com!” and as the CM song for Bourbon’s “Petit Series.” The staging that begins with a spoken line by Kazunari Ninomiya is memorable, and many fans were likely captivated by the poignant monologue at the start.
The song’s structure is interesting, shifting from a gentle ballad feel in the first half to an up-tempo groove toward the end.
The vocal range is comfortably manageable, and the slower tempo in the first half makes it easy to sing calmly.
How about riding the rhythm in the rap part to hype up the crowd?
Time is mineMajima Yuro
Have you ever felt like the ticking of a second hand was hurrying you along? This work by popular Vocaloid producer Yuro Majima is an original Teto Kasane SV track released in August 2025.
After showcasing a culmination of his work with the album “Henachoko Punch,” his new EP “Kihaji” explores an obsession with—and struggle against—time.
Riding a brisk four-on-the-floor beat and highly addictive sound, it resounds with a heartfelt cry to reclaim stolen time.
While Majima has shown wide-ranging activity, including collaborations like “Dorobō Yōchien,” this piece hits even harder with its outpouring of deeply personal emotion.
When you’re worn out by society’s pace, this song will remind you that time belongs to you.
Eggs, milk, and recordsSebunsu Bega
The four-woman group Seventh Vega, currently drawing attention among early-eared music fans, will release Tamago to Gyūnyū to Record in 2025—a track marked by an urban sound design and a soft groove.
The bass lines, occasionally incorporating slap, overlap with the guitar’s cutting to firmly shape the song’s sense of rhythm.
There are parts that solidly support the low end and rhythm, which here serves to highlight the lightness of the vocals and guitar.
Precisely because the song has a gentle atmosphere, you can feel how the low end firmly supports the whole piece.
SunMy Hair is Bad
Released as a digital single in March 2024 and later included on the July 2024 album “ghosts,” this track is a high-energy rock number that’s quintessentially My Hair is Bad.
Written specifically as the official MBS theme song for the 96th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament, its lyrics capture the tension and exhilaration of players awaiting the first pitch, along with the passion of staking everything on a single moment—sure to strike a chord.
The straightforward, breakneck sound unique to a three-piece band lifts the listener’s spirits.
It resonates as an anthem for everyone facing crucial moments in life—whether in clubs, exams, or work.
Give it a listen when you need courage or want to fire yourself up for that make-or-break moment.
Set my soul aflameARB
It’s a track that makes you feel a rugged, stout-hearted spirit, with an irresistible sense of urgency! Released as A.R.B.’s single in December 1979, it even has the anecdote that it was recorded without a bassist during the tumultuous period right after the band went independent from their agency.
It’s a song that shouts, over a fiery beat, about the loneliness and way of life swaying in the light and shadow of the spotlight, in the in-between.
In 2011, it also made waves when the character unit TRIPLE H covered it as an insert song for the anime Mawaru Penguindrum.
When you want to charge forward believing in the path you chose, or when you’re frustrated after slamming into an absurd wall, clench your fist and give it a listen.
