Trick or Trick!Kihara Akaya, Tono Atsukyo
As the first Halloween song from Tenipuri Music, an unconventional duet by Akaya Kirihara and Atsukyo Tono has been released.
The lyrics, where the unsettling air of night intertwines with sweet temptation, create a unique world that blends a game-like chase with a precarious romance.
It was pre-released digitally in September 2024, with the CD following in October.
Performed only at the final show, the song reportedly had fans who had mastered the call-and-response parts.
It’s perfect for livening up a Halloween party or a karaoke session with friends!
tokyo (feat. suzuki mamiko, Skaai)yonawo
An ambitious work from yonawo, a four-piece band from Fukuoka, featuring guest artists for the first time.
Released digitally in July 2022, the track welcomes Mamiko Suzuki—also known from chelmico—and Kyushu-born rapper Skaai.
Over a mellow R&B- and soul-inspired sound, rap and chorus intertwine beautifully.
The smooth track, evocative of a city nightscape, and the harmonic blend of the three voices create a comfort that truly deserves to be called bedtime sound.
Included on the album Yonawo House, the song captivates with its warm sonic texture.
It’s an ideal pick for a nighttime drive or as background music for quiet moments alone.
Transparent GirlNUMBER GIRL
NUMBER GIRL is an alternative rock band that fires fragments of urban anxiety and emotion over razor-sharp guitar sounds.
Formed in Fukuoka in 1995, they captivated listeners with searing live performances and made their major-label debut in 1999.
Their distinctive Japanese-language rock, etched into albums like SCHOOL GIRL DISTORTIONAL ADDICT and SAPPUKEI, influenced many bands that followed.
The urgency of the vocals and the explosive ensemble create a palpable tension you won’t forget once you hear it.
A Closed TownKarumen Maki & OZ
The sound of the organ echoing through the city at dusk alone draws you into a world of melancholy tales.
Released in June 1976, this song—the title track from the album “Closed Town”—pairs a grand, LA-recorded sound with Carmen Maki’s richly expressive vocals to vividly portray the scenery of a stifling town.
Images of birds that have forgotten how to fly and a town drained of color evoke a ghost town, perfectly matching Halloween’s unsettling atmosphere.
It’s an ideal companion for a contemplative Halloween night, different from a lively party.
Tokyo EmotionalBIGMAMA
Released in October 2023 as their first full album in about five years, Tokyo Emotional Gakuen drew attention with its unique concept: a focus on youth and “emo,” with each track named after a school subject.
This song opens the album.
Though only about a minute long, it’s a gentle instrumental that conveys the album’s hallmark emotional tone.
With its ambient atmosphere, it serves as an introduction that heightens anticipation for the tracks that follow.
TOGEAKASAKI
Singer-songwriter AKASAKI quickly rose to prominence from acoustic performance posts on TikTok, with “Bunny Girl” climbing to No.
6 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 in October 2024.
His 16th single, released in September 2025, is a down-to-earth love song that channels the contradictions of romance and miscommunication into the word “thorn.” It portrays the aching pull of attraction that persists despite jumbled emotions and a defensive coolness, fusing the wordcraft he has honed since high school with an irresistibly catchy melody.
Blending a fresh sensibility befitting a current university student with classic J-pop essentials, his music is poised to resonate not only with his peers but across generations.
We can’t help but look forward to AKASAKI’s first appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen, as he continues to achieve remarkable results at an unprecedented pace for an artist who emerged from social media.
Tokimeki DiaryDream Ami
Released for streaming in September 2025, it reportedly samples and uses the memorable chorus lyrics and melody from E-girls’ classic “Anniversary,” and is crafted with themes of “nostalgia” and “the connection between past, present, and future.” It’s a must-listen for fans! It’s sung mostly in a head voice, so it’s a bit high, but the range isn’t very wide, making it a good pick for those comfortable with higher notes.
The tempo isn’t fast, which is nice because you can take a breath at each phrase and sing calmly.
The ad-lib at the beginning uses easily pronounced words, so if you project your voice well there, it should help you keep singing comfortably throughout!
