UmitsukiClariS
This dreamy song likens the unique wistfulness and fragility of summer to a moon floating over the sea and drifting jellyfish.
Chosen as the opening theme for Season 4 of the TV anime “Rent-A-Girlfriend,” it will be released as a single in August 2025.
The lyrics were written after the members repeatedly read the original manga, crafting them to closely reflect the protagonist’s wavering feelings of love.
The frustration of not being able to be honest about your emotions and the aching longing for someone you care about perfectly mirror Kazuya Kinoshita’s state of mind.
If you’re struggling with your feelings for someone you like, listening to this track will surely give you the courage to face your own heart.
fateTani Yuuki
This song carries a powerful message: even if everything is determined by fate, we can still carve out our path by making choices of our own will.
It questions what talent truly is and where the line between happiness and unhappiness lies, portraying a protagonist who turns both cheers and jeers into fuel to keep moving forward.
Released in March 2023, it was also included on the album “Tamentai,” which came out the same month.
The song was originally written for Ryota Katayose and used as an insert track for the TV Tokyo drama “Unmei Keisatsu” (Fate Police).
It’s a ballad for everyone chasing their dreams.
Ui Devilki-you
You’ll be charmed by the protagonist who calls herself a “cute devil” and knows exactly how to be irresistible.
Composed by ki-you and released in October 2025, this electro-swing style track features VoiSona voicebank Ameoi.
It portrays a captivating duality: she plays the little devil, yet can’t act smooth in front of the person she likes—cue the heart-fluttering moments.
Sprinkled with Halloween and sweet treat metaphors, it’s a standout.
Give it a listen when you’re struggling to express your feelings—you’ll relate for sure!
Uniyakanatsuiro matsuri
This track, released for streaming in November 2025 by Natsuiro Matsuri, a first-generation Hololive member, is an electronic pop song written and composed by Kairiki Bear.
The lyrics portray a love that intertwines a desire for affection with possessiveness, creating a world that feels a touch dangerous beneath its cuteness.
The rapid-fire, high-tempo melody pairs perfectly with Matsuri’s bright vocals, resulting in an addictive quality that makes you want to move just by listening.
It’s a number packed with both pop appeal and a dark charm.
You like whisky, don’t you?Ishikawa Sayuri
Sayuri Ishikawa’s song conjures the image of a grown-up, tranquil scene—lingering over a glass at a bar late at night.
Released in 1991 under the name SAYURI, the track was created as a commercial song for Suntory’s Crest 12-year-old whisky and marked a striking departure from her enka image, embracing a full-on jazz and mood-kayō flavor.
Composed by Makoto Sugii, its refined atmosphere—born from string arrangements and vocals that deliberately forgo enka-style embellishments—harmonizes beautifully with lyrics that feel as if they’re spoken across a bar counter.
Since 2007, it has been revived as the theme for commercials for Kaku-bin and has continued to be covered by many artists, including The Gospellers and Hanaregumi.
Though it presents a different kind of difficulty than enka, why not surrender yourself to its chic vibe and enjoy singing it with ease?
Telephone Booth by the SeaMIMI
This song by the Vocaloid producer MIMI, known for a translucent style, was released in October 2025.
Otomachi Una SV’s clear, crystalline voice drifts over a piano so evocative you can almost hear the waves.
The lyrics, which yearn for a precious person far away, are nostalgic and tinged with a touch of melancholy.
Yet there’s also a subtle warmth of hope—so quintessentially MIMI.
On nights when you want to be honest about your feelings for someone, lend it a quiet ear.
WINNER! Gojuuger!Wienners
Created by Wienners as the opening theme for the 50th anniversary work of the Super Sentai series, this track is a high-velocity rock number that fuses punk and electro, staying true to the lineage of their self-proclaimed galactic punk.
There’s an anecdote that Tamiya 2060% instantly rekindled his childhood memories of past Sentai theme songs and finished the song in just one day, and you can really feel the creators’ passion through that.
Perfect for this commemorative work that began airing in February 2025, the lyrics—centered on victory and uniqueness—resonate powerfully, and just listening to it naturally lifts your spirits.
Give it a listen when you want an energy boost in the morning or need the courage to take on a challenge.
