The song ChiquititaChikichiita (Oozora Naomi)
It’s amazing how an a cappella vocal alone can put you in such a good mood.
It’s an insert song from season 2 of the anime Dandadan, sung by Naomi Ozora, who plays the role of Chiquitita.
It suddenly played during a tense scene in episode 16, which aired in July 2025, and its surreal vibe and addictiveness instantly grabbed viewers’ hearts.
The way this pure and innocent cheer song turns a serious development into laughter with perfect balance is brilliant, capturing that quintessential Dandadan atmosphere perfectly.
Maybe the fact that the official channel released a two-hour endurance video right after the broadcast is proof that this is exactly what everyone wanted from the series—just maybe.
It’s the perfect track for when you don’t want to think about anything and just want to feel energized.
underground mallyuzu
It’s a song that could be called the origin of Yuzu, the folk duo that took off from the streets.
The opening line, “A sunny afternoon in October,” perfectly evokes the crisp air of autumn.
Carried by the simple timbre of an acoustic guitar, it portrays the bittersweet feeling of wanting to see someone you love but being unable to.
Yet it doesn’t just dwell in hesitation—you can also feel a forward-looking strength, a resolve to be honest about one’s feelings.
The track was included on their indie mini-album Yuzu no Moto, released in October 1997, and later featured on the best-of compilation Home [1997–2000].
It has a warmth that gently nudges you when you’re feeling uncertain.
It’s also perfect as a companion for an autumn stroll.
Song of the EarthHanada Yuuichirou
This is the January 2023 song from “Okaasan to Issho,” featuring a friendly, energetic melody and a message to keep singing “the Earth’s loving song” forever.
“Chikyuu no Uta” (The Earth’s Song) was written and composed by Osamu Sakata, the 7th “Uta no Onii-san,” and carries a warm message that children will continue to sing this love song from the Earth.
Arranged by Takeshi Ike, the bright, refreshing arrangement truly shines.
The video, set in a white studio sprinkled with colorful animation, makes it a pop masterpiece that will have both adults and children wanting to sing and dance along.
a small voiceHanbaato Hanbaato
This is a work that stays close to you on nights when no one seems to understand how you feel.
It’s a song by Humbert Humbert, a duo who perform as a married couple, and it gently speaks on behalf of a heart that feels crushed by society’s relentless calls to “hang in there.” Featured on the ballad collection WORK, released in June 2019, the song portrays the constriction of days you can only get through by laughing them off, and the fragile emotions that feel as if they might break at any moment.
When you’ve worn yourself out trying too hard to meet others’ expectations, why not spend a quiet moment immersing yourself in the world of this song?

SPYAIR’s “Chase the Shine,” released in 2025, is a track that exudes the momentum of charging straight toward the goal.
It opens with a section centered on electric guitar and vocals, then gradually builds toward the chorus, conveying a sense of power being unleashed.
The lyrics depict steadily working toward the finish line and the determination to run through, giving listeners a strong push forward.
The song was also used in a boat racing commercial, effectively highlighting the energy and strength of the visuals.
Chasing ShadowsASYLUM
It’s a song that depicts a sense of urgency and emptiness, like relentlessly chasing a shadow that stretches on forever.
Over a hard, tight beat, Gazelle’s vocals—both the purely aesthetic singing and the morose shouts—leave a powerful impression.
This worldview, where punk’s raw impulse coexists with a decadent beauty, may well have been the source of what later came to be called the visual-kei scene.
The track is included on the album Crystal Days, released in June 1987, which was so popular it topped Japan’s indie charts at the time.
If you listen to it while grappling with a nebulous anxiety about the future, its searing passion will pierce straight into your heart.
