I can see an angel.sekai 22-ban
This is a track whose fantastical worldview resonates deeply.
Released by Sekai 22 in October 2024, it’s woven together with Hatsune Miku’s noisy vocals.
Set to an avant‑garde sound reminiscent of happy hardcore, it expresses a girl’s shadowy feelings.
Jellyfish occupying the city, a solitary figure staring at an angel—there are surely many who will be struck by the strangely fantastical weight of these lyrics, both mad and mesmerizing.
Please give it a listen.
TEARS (like powder snow dancing…)Nakajima Mika
Mika Nakashima is often associated with winter songs, especially because of her signature track “Yuki no Hana.” This song is the B-side to her debut single “STARS,” released in 2001.
As a B-side, it truly deserves to be called a “hidden gem,” beautifully expressing the sense of poignancy and loneliness that Mika Nakashima evokes.
It conjures images of winter’s chill and gently falling powder snow, making it a perfect song for those who feel a longing for human connection or a touch of solitude in the cold wind.
Ti AmoKubota Toshinobu
The original song is by EXILE, as everyone knows, but his cover of “Ti Amo” was irresistibly captivating and became a hot topic.
Fans who heard it raved, saying, “It’s already his song now!” It’s a track where you can savor a different side of his appeal.
Castle in the Sky (from the soundtrack)Hisaishi Joe
Laputa, the ancient city floating in the sky, is also the theme of the film.
This is its theme song.
Though it is a city with wings covered in trees, it once flourished as an aerial fortress and an imperial capital.
The lively, bouncing piano sound that captures the energy of that era is a must-hear.
At the same time, pay attention to the latter half, where a sense of loneliness seems to well up for the city that has now fallen into ruins.
It’s a piece that lets you feel the history the city has etched over time.
Castle in the Sky (from the Image Album)Hisaishi Joe
Here’s a way to experience Laputa: Castle in the Sky apart from the official soundtrack.
It’s a single track that radiates grandeur and divinity.
You can feel the depth of history in the way this floating city in the sky maintains its presence even after ruin.
The slow-tempo rhythm pairs perfectly with its expansive, soaring sound.
It’s so soothing you’ll drift into a dreamlike state and want to keep listening forever.
practice; learning (especially in the early stages), penmanshipHisaishi Joe
Tenarai means practice or training.
Hearing just that, it might sound very intense, right? But this song is a very relaxed, slow-tempo ballad.
The repeating piano accompaniment in triple meter is wonderfully easy on the ears.
You can sense Kaguya-hime’s feelings—she has absolutely no interest in training to become noble.
Try listening while focusing on Kaguya-hime’s state of mind.

Tidus’s FortressHisaishi Joe
The Fortress of Tidis is a former castle that was converted into a stronghold.
As the name suggests, it exudes an underground, clandestine vibe.
The march-like drum rolls and the supremely suspicious keyboard tones are a perfect match.
It’s odd, yet somehow unsettling.
The final drum roll that cuts off sharply is a must-hear.
It’s a track that floods you with a suffocating sense of urgency and confinement.
