We are!AAA
This is an official cover by the mixed-gender performance group AAA of the first opening theme from the beloved national anime One Piece.
It was included as a bonus track on their August 2012 album 777 ~TRIPLE SEVEN~, and in the same month it was selected as the theme song for the TV special One Piece Episode of Nami: Tears of a Navigator and the Bonds of Friends.
While preserving the adventurous spirit of the original melody, the song features a danceable arrangement enhanced with lavish horns and strings.
Its structure builds a sense of unity toward the chorus, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for singing together arm-in-arm.
You can have fun in many ways—use the “One Piece!” shout as a call-and-response, or tweak the lyrics to fit a drinking scene.
It’s a great pick for gatherings with a wide range of attendees, since both anime fans and AAA fans can enjoy it together!
Sorry for singing.AKASAKI
This song was released for streaming in November 2025 as the TV commercial theme for NEC’s PC brand “LAVIE.” It’s the 18th single by AKASAKI, a singer-songwriter who rose to prominence on TikTok, and it’s marked by a passionate acoustic guitar sound reminiscent of flamenco.
The lyrics depict a boy charging forward without knowing right from left, and convey the protagonist’s inner conflict and resolve—he’s torn yet can’t stop singing.
From the anxiety over rusting talent to the friction with someone dear, there’s an irrepressible urge to raise one’s voice nonetheless.
It’s a powerful track that gives you a push when you need the courage to step into something new.
Welcome To Our Show TonightTravis Japan
A glamorous swing-jazz number from Travis Japan.
Featured on the album ‘s travelers,’ this track stands out with its big-band-style horn section and buoyant rhythms, giving you the exhilaration of being there the moment a Broadway curtain rises.
The lyrics carry a message: forget your daily fatigue and enjoy the show together—your smile is the missing piece that completes the stage.
It’s a show tune you’ll want to play when you need a boost.
Ultra Trailermasarada
My heart dances to this punchy, full-throttle Teto track that blazes ahead on a roaring beat! It’s the third song by Vocaloid producer Masalada, who shot to prominence with the debut track “Liar Dancer,” and it was released in November 2023.
The opening spills out rock-bottom emotions, but from there it paints a resolve to dive into a chaotic future, giving listeners a strong push forward.
The surging bassline, relentless rhythm, and the overwhelming climax in the final chorus are breathtaking.
It’s perfect for party scenes when you want to crank up the energy!
Beside InfidelityMy Hair is Bad
A wistful number that could be called the band at its best, included on the album “boys” released in June 2019.
Rather than the unfaithful party, it vividly captures the feelings of the one standing right beside them, sensing the signs of betrayal.
The prickly pain of love—when small changes in smartphone habits or tiny shifts in behavior spark suspicion—pierces straight through the chest.
Driven by urgent guitar rock, the arrangement swells toward the chorus as if emotions are overflowing, gripping audiences live and never letting go.
It’s the perfect track for those who resonate with love’s shadowy side, or for nights when you want to transmute a helpless ache through music.
A masterpiece brimming with My Hair’s expressive power.

Undameshi (Trial of Luck) is her milestone 60th release, a single issued in December 2025.
It’s a rousing anthem that encourages those facing adversity to seize their one and only life and take their shot.
Its brisk rhythm and soaring chorus will give listeners a strong push forward.
A perfect track for life’s turning points or those moments when you need one more burst of strength.
