Conton Candy – Fuzzy Navel [Official Video]

Some of you might find that, even knowing it’s a lost cause, you still can’t give up.

Capturing that feeling with a refreshing touch is the song “Fuzzy Navel.” It’s a track released by the next-generation rock band Conton Candy, and it’s also known for going viral on TikTok.

In the song, love is likened to a sweet yet slightly bitter fuzzy navel, and that metaphor contributes to the song’s fresh, uplifting vibe.

As you listen, pay special attention to the resolve expressed at the very end.

If only I could say I love youKERENMI & atarayo

KERENMI & Atarayo – If Only I Could Say I Like You (Theme song for the film 'The Exchange Diary of Lies')

The digitally released track “Tada Suki to Ietara” was selected as the theme song for the live-action film Kokan Uso Nikki, which is based on a coming-of-age novel.

It’s a collaboration between KERENMI—the project led by music producer Koichi Tsutaya that’s been generating buzz—and Atarayo, a band known for the tagline “a band that grows by eating sadness.” With a simple ensemble and a hooky melody, it’s an undeniably catchy number.

The delicate lyrics, which overlap with the film’s story, evoke a sense of nostalgia.

A pop tune with gentle vocals and a refreshing arrangement that feels so good you’ll want to keep it on repeat.

YOAKE “I Can’t Get Used To It” Official Music Video

YOAKE is a band project that’s been turning heads by changing its vocalist and musical genre with each track.

Packed with memorable lines that create a strong hook, it’s a refreshing pop tune.
