Stop the clockKusama Rumi
Rumi Kusama’s moving cover of the classic song “Tokei o Tomete” (“Stop the Clock”).
The original was by Jacks, and it was later covered by Carmen Maki and Rumi Kusama.
It’s a hidden gem known to those in the know.
For an easier reference to sing along with, we’ve selected Rumi Kusama’s cover this time.
The piece features a relaxed tempo and emotive vocals; however, despite being emotive, the melody doesn’t fluctuate dramatically in pitch, so when you actually sing it, you may find the vocal line surprisingly plain.
It’s a song that still has plenty of musical impact even when sung in a lower register, so if the high parts feel tough, don’t hesitate to drop the key significantly.
Distant fireworksHiroyuki Nishikata
Hiroyuki Nishikata made his debut in 1987 with “Hokkai Suikoden,” and since then he has produced many hit songs.
Released in 1989, “Tooi Hanabi” is one of his signature tracks.
Through the image of fireworks floating in the summer night sky, it portrays the fragility of an unattainable love.
The lyrics delicately depict the beautiful scenes of fireworks while highlighting the poignant ache of the feelings layered upon them, and the depth of that emotion resonates deeply with listeners.
The melody and lyrics, which seem to linger over the end of summer, are especially worth listening to on a summer night while watching fireworks, when you want to touch the feelings you keep in your heart.
TOKYO DRIFT FREESTYLEShigemori Satomi feat. Tomodachi
Satomi Shigemori, who is active as a TV personality, has been seriously pursuing rap since the 2020s and has released several hit songs so far.
Among her works, the one I especially want to recommend is “TOKYO DRIFT FREESTYLE.” The interesting idea of featuring her friends also resonates with today’s friend-as-a-team vibe.
This piece skillfully captures a blend of feminine cuteness and languid nonchalance, and it’s undeniably a track that makes you more attractive.
Fly, fly, big sisterNohara Shinnosuke (CV: Yajima Akiko) Akushon Kamen (CV: Genda Tesshou)
The voices of Shinnosuke Nohara and Action Kamen ring out powerfully! Released in April 1998, this song was used as the opening theme for the anime Crayon Shin-chan.
Its bright, rhythmic tune pairs perfectly with Shinnosuke’s distinctive singing style and Action Kamen’s heroically resonant vocals.
Incidentally, it was also chosen as the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Blitzkrieg! Pig’s Hoof’s Secret Mission.

Tokyo at 7 p.m.Nomiya Maki
This song is known as a symbol of Shibuya-kei music.
Maki Nomiya’s sophisticated vocals create an urban atmosphere.
The lyrics convey the sparkle of Tokyo nights and a bittersweet longing for a loved one.
Released in November 2015, it has been widely featured in TV shows and films and is popular across generations.
With its light, catchy rhythm and memorable melody, it’s perfect for energizing parties and events.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy an urbane vibe or feel nostalgic for ’90s music.
Tokyo autumn foliageyakozen
A song that seeps into the heart as autumn deepens.
Considered one of Yakozen’s signature tracks, this piece was included on the album “Tokyo 23-Ward Recommended Memory Collection Bag,” released in November 2004.
Its lyrics—evoking aching love and the loneliness amid the bustle of the city—leave a strong impression, while the folk-tinged melody stirs the soul.
Takahiro “Pistol” Takehara’s powerful vocals and the simple yet resonant arrangement are part of its appeal.
A music video in the form of the short film “Sakanagashi” was also produced for this work, starring Susumu Terajima, and it drew considerable attention.
It’s perfect for listening alone at autumn dusk, lost in thought.
FugitiveSuzuki Masayuki
Let me introduce “Tōbōsha” (“Fugitive”), a track that gets everyone excited with its city pop-style sound.
It’s one of the songs on the album “She・See・Sea,” and its stylish sound is a big part of its appeal.
The lyrics are sophisticated as well, using the title phrase to depict two lovers and convey a sense of immorality and guilt.
The tempo is on the faster side, but since there aren’t many high notes, it should be relatively easy to sing.
However, there are English lyrics in the song, so be mindful of that.
Listen carefully and check your pronunciation.
