This track, newly written as the opening theme for the TV anime “Let’s Go to Karaoke!” and set for release in July 2025, pairs a driving, night-run energy with an emotive melody for a distinctly stylish vibe.
The song portrays the unique struggles of adolescence and the complex feelings that mix the joy and confusion of being needed by someone, drawing listeners in with its delicate expression.

breakfastMrs. GREEN APPLE

This song has been used since June 2025 as the theme for Fuji TV’s information program “Sun! Shine.” The full-on choreography—making you think, “Does Mrs.
GREEN APPLE dance this much?”—has become a hot topic, but above all it’s a refreshing morning-perfect anthem.
The track isn’t merely cheerful; it portrays the struggles of imperfect everyday life and the resolve of “All right, let’s get to it today,” and that depth feels very true to them.
This is the third time Mrs.
GREEN APPLE has handled a theme for a Fuji TV information program.
It’s a stylish, emotional number that will surely put you in a positive mood before school, even on slightly gloomy mornings.
naporiVaundy

Singer-songwriter Vaundy, who has garnered attention for his multifaceted talent spanning from songwriting and composing to visual production.
This track, included on his May 2020 album “strobo,” is also known as the song used in the commercial for Bourbon’s Alfort Mini Chocolate.
Its intimate vocals and minimal sound delicately capture the anxiety and emotional wavering that lurk within peaceful moments with a lover.
The worldview, which cherishes the fleeting “now” precisely because it is ephemeral, makes you want to sink into it alone late at night.
With total streams surpassing 300 million, this mellow pop tune became a long-running hit, resonating widely with its chill atmosphere.
Friday Nightnatori

Singer-songwriter Natori, who made a major impact on the music scene with the 2022 smash hit “Overdose.” Released in March 2023, the track was featured in a Spotify brand commercial and became a hot topic.
Set on a weekend night, its lyrics weave together resignation toward an unfulfilling relationship and an earnest longing for love as it is, gripping listeners and not letting go.
Natori’s characteristically rich, low-register voice accentuates the song’s ennui-laced, fleeting atmosphere.
The fact that the demo surpassed one million plays even before release speaks to its high level of attention.
Also included on the album “Gekijou,” it’s a cool pop tune perfect for nights when you want to feel a little more grown-up.
