A Tiny Bit of CourageFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
Released in 2007, “Chippoke na Yuuki” was a milestone song for FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, achieving their then-highest position of No.
8 on the Oricon chart.
Many people in their 30s will fondly remember Tomohiro Waki being featured on the cover and in the music video, and for those who’ve spent a fair number of years in the working world, the lyrics that unexpectedly stir the heart are sure to make you want to belt it out at karaoke.

in limbo / hanging in the air / unresolvedsoshina
When it comes to Soshina from Shimofuri Myojo, he’s known not only as a comedian but also for his work as a musician.
His style is diverse—he’s even tried his hand as a Vocaloid producer—but “Chuburarin” is a straight-up rock band-style track, with Soshina on vocals and guitar.
The rough guitar sound, urgent rhythm, spit-out lyrics, and distinctive vocal tone drew a lot of attention.
With a very simple chord progression and song structure, the melody is easy to remember, and if you’re feeling stressed, belting this song out at full volume might be a great way to blow off steam.
Chu of addictivesurii
A wistful love song by Surii, released in July 2023, where electronic sounds intertwine with a catchy melody.
It portrays the wavering emotions between the desire to monopolize the one you love and clear-headed judgment, skillfully weaving in playful wordplay.
While pop in style, the tune carries a hint of sadness that deeply resonates with listeners.
It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to those who feel the precariousness and instability of being in love, or who find themselves overwhelmed by feelings that are too strong for someone dear to them.
