NON STOPHANA

HANA / NON STOP -Music Video-

Created as the track to cap off HANA’s debut year, this song is an aggressive dance tune packed with the year’s relentless sprint and a determination to “make dreams come true.” Over a heavy beat infused with hip-hop and trap elements, rapid-fire switches between English and Japanese rap unfold alongside a melodious hook.

That is a fairy.Boku ga mitakatta aozora

The Blue Sky I Wanted to See / “That’s a Fairy” Music Video [4K]

Debuting in 2023 and winning the Best New Artist Award at the Japan Record Awards in just one year, Boku ga Mitakatta Aozora are set to release their 7th single in December 2025.

The title track is a classic winter first-love song with lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and music by Daisuke Shirai.

It tells a poignant story of a boy who is captivated by a girl he glimpses by chance on a train platform, and, seeing her as delicate like a fairy, keeps searching for her every morning.

Vivid scenes—winter uniforms, scarves, and crowded trains—tug at the heart, and it’s impossible not to empathize with the protagonist, who senses the love may never be fulfilled yet still engraves the feeling of “I truly fell in love.” The music video, featuring Ami Kanazawa in the center playing a transfer student, has drawn attention for its direction that shifts between reality and imagination.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to revisit a softly bittersweet page of youth.

Vaundy - 'GREAT MAN' / Music Video

Released for streaming in October 2025, this track was originally written as an inspired song for the 2021 NHK Taiga drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky,” and, after about four years, has finally been officially recorded and released.

Its lyrics, which capture feelings that can’t be satisfied by existing values yet still carry the will to keep moving forward, give listeners the courage to accept their imperfect selves.

When you find yourself at a crossroads in life, this song might lend you strength.

Portrait of a MaidenREOL

Reol – “Portrait of a Maiden” Music Video

A song by Reol that revives the sparkle of ’80s idol pop with a modern sound.

Arranged by Shin Sakiura, it leaves a lasting impression with shimmering synths and sweet vocal harmonies.

While it puts cuteness front and center, the lyrics hide betrayal and a hint of poison—the duality is addictive.

Give it a listen when you’re in the mood to discover a fresh face of pop.

Gen Hoshino – Dead End [Official Video]

Released in November 2025 as the theme song for the film “Hiraba no Tsuki,” this track marks a true new frontier for Gen Hoshino, expressed with nothing but piano and voice.

In step with the mature love story starring Masato Sakai and Haruka Igawa, it portrays the raw emotion of continuing to carry feelings for someone you can’t forget, even when life has come to a dead end.

It embraces past choices and awkward kindness without polishing them into a neat tale—an approach that is the essence of adult romance.

It’s also striking that, following the album “Gen” and his pursuit of more personal expression, Hoshino sings here as a first-person narrator emerging from the film’s story world.

The minimal sound highlights the weight of the words and the lingering resonance of the piano.

It’s a song that will resonate deeply with anyone who, while facing loss and regret, still tries to look ahead.

The chorus melody, designed for stadium sing-alongs, really lifts the listener’s spirits.

It’s a fiery rock anthem that gives a push to anyone striving toward their dreams or honing their skills alongside their teammates.
