O time, stopILLIT
Since their 2024 debut, ILLIT, the Korean girl group that has been sweeping newcomer awards and gaining attention with “Almond Chocolate,” the theme song for the film I Won’t Fall for Just a Pretty Face, has been in the spotlight.
Their first single in Japan paints, in Japanese, the delicate feelings of a girl swaying at summer’s end.
Shigon’s lyrics are sprinkled with seasonal words like osmanthus and sunflower, and they express a wish to hold on to moments that you don’t want to let pass.
It’s a number that should land vividly even with listeners hearing it for the first time on the Kouhaku stage.
howlchilldspot
This track, included on the EP “Madarayamoyou” released in January 2024, is a seasonally rich number from chilldspot that portrays loneliness and longing through the motif of a lone wolf lost on a winter morning.
Hiyune’s transparent vocals delicately capture the emotions swaying between sadness and bravado.
The lyrically rich arrangement co-written by vocalist Hiyune and Ryoyama, together with lyrics that evoke wintry scenery, beautifully renders the atmosphere of winter in sound.
It’s a perfect song for lonely winter nights or for seasons spent holding feelings for someone.
After being included on the EP, it was performed on the “Moyou” tour and featured on the live album, making it an important song for the band.
party (as in the party concerned; stakeholder)EGOIST
This track was chosen as the ending theme for the film PSYCHO-PASS: Providence.
It’s by EGOIST, the music unit born from the anime Guilty Crown.
The song is produced by ryo of supercell, with vocals by chelly.
It’s striking for its piercing message that seems to ask whether anyone can remain a mere bystander.
Chelly’s subtly wavering voice further heightens the tension in the air.
Released as a single in May 2023, it’s a moving song you’ll want to play when you want to immerse yourself in the work’s profound world.

#Tokyo LIFEKato Miria
It’s a slightly cool song with an R&B vibe that’s very Miliyah Kato, and the second verse even has a rap-like section.
The vocal range isn’t very high, so it’s a song you can sing quite smoothly.
As long as you lock into the rhythm, you can make it sound really cool, so be sure to listen carefully to the backing track and keep the rhythm.
If you clap while singing, it’s easier to know where to place the accents.
Especially in the rap section of the second verse, if the backing track and your claps hit strongly at the same spots, those parts become the accents, making it easier to stay aware of them.
Overall, you want to keep things relaxed, so move with the groove and have fun.
Trigger Finger!!!Takizaki Rina (CV: Watanabe Akino)
Isn’t the hard-hitting beat and razor-sharp guitar riff insanely aggressive and cool? It’s an insert song played in the TV anime PSYCHO-PASS, composed by Yugo Kanno, who also handles the score.
The track was included on the album PSYCHO-PASS Complete Original Soundtrack, released in May 2013.
Featuring the shouts of in-story singer Rina Takizaki (voiced by Akeno Watanabe), the lyrics are striking as they cry out to shatter the mask that symbolizes society’s deceit.
The way the characters’ inner conflicts are distilled into the music is, as expected, masterful.
If you listen to it when you want to break through your current situation, it’s sure to give you a push forward.
In the distant skyDEEN
DEEN’s 14th single, a song that captures the bittersweet feelings of a long-distance relationship.
Released in February 1998, it was featured in a commercial for Japan Telecom’s “Super LCR,” which drew attention with actress Tomoko Yamaguchi’s appearance.
The frustration of only being able to connect by phone—and the pure longing to hear a loved one’s voice—is delicately expressed through Shuichi Ikemori’s clear, resonant vocals.
On nights when you’re thinking of someone dear who lives far away, lend your ears to this lyrical world.
Tokyo HotelMikawa Ken’ichi
Beyond the shoulder of a sleeping lover, the nightscape of Tokyo Bay stretches out.
Kenichi Mikawa’s “Tokyo Hotel” is a classic mood kayō that depicts a sorrowful parting in a hotel room like that.
Proper nouns like the Rainbow Bridge reflect the protagonist’s loneliness as if in a scene from a film, tightening the listener’s chest.
Mikawa’s rich, velvety low voice conveys a story of an adult farewell, where lingering attachment and self-mockery intertwine, and it resonates deeply.
Released as a single in March 2000, the song was also included in the best-of album “Kenichi Mikawa Best 16” in May of the same year.
It’s the perfect number for a night when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.
