Charming BabyNEW!piinata
How about an exquisite pop tune with Chinese-flavored electronic sounds that linger in your ears? This addictive, charming track—featuring a cute, whimsical world—was created by Piinata and released in April 2025.
Set to Hatsune Miku’s vocals, it sings of the bittersweetness and urgency of love from a unique perspective.

Interestingly, the piece originated from something made on an iPhone three years ago, and knowing it finally saw the light of day after some time makes it all the more moving.
With its sparkling sound and wordplay packed with information, you’ll find yourself hitting repeat again and again.
If you enjoy cute music with a slightly poisonous edge, Piinata’s work is highly recommended!
Planet Makeup ProjectNEW!CUTIE STREET
This high-energy pop tune by CUTIE STREET made big waves because Aribobo from Yabai T-Shirts Yasan handled both the lyrics and composition.
Ever since its first live debut at their first one-man show in February 2025, it’s captivated venues with its full-throttle humor and exhilarating sound.
Brimming with the kind of energy that can turn even the slapstick chaos behind all things “cute” into laughter, it’s guaranteed to lift your spirits just by listening.
The track was also included as the title song on the single “Can’t Stop on Cue! / Earth Makeup Plan,” released in July 2025, which sold over 500,000 copies in its first week.

A Little SpoonfulNEW!CUTIE STREET
When it comes to songs that blend the ache of knowing love alone can’t change everything with a forward-looking spirit, this number by CUTIE STREET comes to mind.
It leaves a strong impression with its cool dance moves and guitar-driven sound, offering a different flavor from their usual all-out “KAWAII” image.
In this track they sing, the lyrics resonate like a “magic spell,” capturing the frustration of a love that won’t reach the other person no matter how much you try—changing your clothes or hairstyle for them.
Released for streaming in June 2025 and included on the single CD “We Can’t Stop on Cue! / Earth Make-up Plan” released the following July, the song had already been performed at live shows before its official recording, and had grown into a cherished piece among fans.
If you listen to it on nights troubled by unrequited love or when you need one more push, it will surely give you courage.
Chocolate MelancholyNEW!≠ME
The 3rd single by ≠ME, produced by Rino Sashihara.

The intense choreography performed in nun outfits is another highlight—you’ll be overwhelmed by a performance where cuteness and unease coexist.
It became a turning point for the group, hitting No.
1 on Oricon and selling 58,000 copies in its first week.
It’s perfect when a merely sweet romance won’t satisfy you or when you want to immerse yourself in a provocative story.
Enjoy the contrast between the weighty sound and the delicate vocals—give it a listen on a night when you’re in the mood for drama.

With the arrival of spring comes the feel of a slightly chilly breeze and damp air…

Written in March 2022 as part of a collaboration between Asahi Super Dry and the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the track is also included on the album BIPOLAR.
It portrays the reality of spring—more than just brightness.
Images that suggest looming farewells and time gone by overlap with listeners’ own memories and truly move the heart.
It’s perfect for a quiet night spent alone during that period when anxiety and expectation mingle as you head into a new environment.
