I want to pour out my true feelings under the influence of alcohol, but I can’t put them into words honestly… In Wanuka’s song, the protagonist’s bittersweet emotions are sung as they try to express their love by taking refuge in drinking.

When a short version was posted on TikTok in 2020, its unique worldview became a hot topic, and after the official release in February 2021, it topped Spotify’s Viral Chart.

The Japanese-inspired sound, which incorporates the yonanuki (pentatonic) scale, feels nostalgic yet radiates a fresh charm.

The desire to get closer to someone, even if it means borrowing the courage of drunkenness, and the frustrating uncertainty over whether those feelings are truly genuine—this is recommended for anyone who relates to the real struggles of love.

Released as a single in July 2025, this song is a bittersweet love ballad about missed connections with someone you care about and the frustration of not being able to be honest.

Despite its pop-infused band sound, the lyrics—filled with regret over unspoken words—tighten the chest and will likely resonate with many listeners.

On TikTok, a dance incorporating an “elbow jab” went viral, cementing the song’s popularity.

It’s a sentimental pop tune.

Ayumu Imazu, who writes and composes his own songs and even choreographs his dances, is drawing attention as a Gen Z global artist.

His release from January 2024 is a pop tune themed around the sweet, bittersweet feeling of falling for someone right away.

While bewildered by his own tendency to fall in love easily, he expresses in down-to-earth words how he becomes more and more captivated when the other person seems too perfect.

Before its official release, the demo went viral on TikTok, and it sparked a worldwide boom after top Asian artists—starting with SEVENTEEN—showcased the dance.

Its laid-back, chill sound and pleasant melody also make it a perfect BGM to liven up conversations with friends.

[Dance] 🖐🏻🖐🏻✊🏻 CUTIE STREET’s new song “Love Train”#KyusutoIdol#KAWAII#fyp#CUTIESTREET

Love Training – 1st Chorus ver. – CUTIE STREET

This is CUTIE STREET’s February 2025 single, a song that likens a girl’s heart-fluttering rush into love to a speeding train.

It captures the excitement of a girl changing her hairstyle and heading out on a date, her possessiveness toward the popular boy she likes, and her wish for special time alone together—various emotions of a lovestruck girl expressed over a pop melody.

Contemporary youth romance is deftly portrayed, too—like a date scene where they share an açaí bowl—making it a highly relatable piece.

After the music video dropped in March 2025, the song became a massive hit, surpassing 5 billion total views on social media.

The train-themed choreography is simple and catchy, perfect for filming dance videos with friends or turning up the fun at karaoke.
