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.
There was no meaning to being born.mafumafu
This is Mafumafu’s signature work, a cry from the heart that chronicles losing one’s sense of self-worth and ceaselessly questioning the meaning of life.
It’s included on the album “Kagurairo Artifact,” released in October 2019.
The song confronts the value of discarded lives, a society indifferent to others, and the powerlessness of being unable to save anything despite having the potential to become anyone.
Though the lyrics are filled with despairing questions, they ultimately resound with a strong resolve that we must go on living.
It’s a song that stands beside those who find life hard or have lost sight of their own worth.
We are the ONE ~We are one~Kushida Akira
The ending theme that wrapped up 2003’s Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger is a song that truly celebrates teamwork, brightly sung by Akira Kushida and the Mori no Ki Children’s Choir.
Repeating words like “courage” and “hope,” it delivers a powerful message that we can face hardships because we have our friends by our side.
With the team name and callouts popping up one after another, it cleverly invites kids to sing along.
The lyrics are by Yumi Yoshimoto, the music by Yasuo Kosugi, and the arrangement by Seiichi Kyoda, and the song was also used as an insert track in the show itself.
The single was released by Nippon Columbia in March of the same year, and it’s included on the best album “BEST — I am the ONE —.” It’s perfect for family time enjoying the Super Sentai series, and when everyone sings together, it creates a real sense of unity.
person of moistureakai kouen
From the translucent opening, tones spread out as if you were underwater, creating a mysterious sense of floating.
It’s a track included on the 2012 mini-album “Toumei na no ka Kuro na no ka” (“Is It Transparent or Is It Black?”).
Composed solely of a chorus and a bridge, it’s an experimental piece whose pleasant melody line lingers in your ears.
The lyrics by Yonezu Masaki Tsuno are deeply enigmatic, as if capturing fluctuations of emotion just as they are.
The beauty of the choral work also stands out.
It might strike a chord when something in your heart feels unsettled.
