Phantom Theta 'All Just Bots' (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

The eighth digital single, released in November 2025, is a Showa disco-style dance tune from Phantom Theta, a retro-horror-themed idol group produced by Ado.

It portrays the anxiety of falling in love with an ideal partner while not knowing whether they’re genuine or a fake, alongside a heartfelt yearning to be loved by someone anyway.

Set to a retro-pop sound, the song expresses the protagonist’s struggle to seek pure love in a world full of knockoffs.

Written and composed by Sasaki Kissa, it captures a world where cuteness and horror coexist, showcasing Phantom Theta’s multifaceted appeal in its most catchy form.

It’s the kind of track you’ll want to listen to when you’re struggling with online communication or craving a genuine connection.

Play Sick

It’s a pop tune that blends a brisk freshness with a faint, feverish languor, featured in the TV commercial “To the Sea” for the Daihatsu Move Canbus Stripes.

Created by the band Yorushika—composer n-buna and vocalist suis—the track was released for streaming in December 2025.

Its literary lyrics, depicting a contradictory state of mind like holding an umbrella under a clear sky, sink deeply into the heart alongside suis’s translucent vocals.

Released ahead of the letter-novel–linked album “Second Person,” this song quietly stays close to the listener—perfect for mornings when motivation won’t come, or for walking through the city with complicated feelings.

It’s a pop track themed around a peaceful stroll, cheerfully brushing off the clutter of world affairs and horoscopes as “all just noise,” and conveys the simple, profound beauty of just walking together with someone precious.

The floating, airy melody pairs perfectly with Kasukabe Tsumugi’s gentle vocals.

Highly recommended when you want to soothe a tired heart.

Its sound, wrapped in an ’80s vibe, creates a comfortably groovy feel.

When you want to shatter a sense of stagnation and take a new step forward, surrender yourself to this track.

This song from the 40th single features a member who had consistently been selected for the main lineup participating for the first time as an under member and serving as center.

The work portrays emotions wavering between “staying true” and “protecting oneself to avoid getting hurt,” carefully capturing moments in which one is forced, through love, to confront one’s own weakness and smallness.

Released on streaming platforms ahead of its CD release in November 2025, the piece is notable for its lyrical melody and an evocative ensemble centered on strings and piano.

It’s the perfect track for when you’re taking on a challenge or want to fire yourself up.
