It’s a hit number by Perfume, with their dazzlingly beautiful legs on display.
Crafted by genius producer Yasutaka Nakata, it blends a high-energy vibe with traditional Japanese scales, giving it an oriental allure.
It’d be wonderful to dance that coolly, wouldn’t it?
Lotta Love -m&M mix-m-flo loves MINMI
This is a sure thing! The m-flo loves project brought in many vocalists and produced lots of great songs, but among them, MINMI’s voice is so free and expansive that I think it made for an exceptionally refreshing track.
Shine!atarayo
With its refreshing melody and powerful message, this song from Atarayo is a piece filled with thoughts about life’s choices, challenges, and self-realization.
It portrays the anxiety and sense of achievement that come with pursuing dreams, as well as the transformation into confidence, and is imbued with a warmth that gently encourages the listener.
Released in January 2024, it was also featured as the support theme for Pocari Sweat’s commercials for the All-Japan High School and All-Japan Junior High School Cheerleading Championships.
Blending Atarayo’s signature delicate expression with an exhilarating sound, it’s truly a track that blows away the blues—perfect for moments when you want to take a new step forward or rally yourself.
Phantom Thief Miracle Boyarukaraidā
This song was also used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Mysterious Joker.” The lyrics are like a code—you can’t get them out of your head.
It’s a tricky band that almost feels out of place for a children’s show, and the bass is doing an especially great job.
BUMP to youKetsumeishi
It’s a track that makes you want to groove laid-back! I love the vibe Ketsumeishi puts out—so good.
Even though it’s about dancing and partying, it’s an upbeat song for adults that never tries too hard.
The sax makes the sound even more mature, and it’s wonderful.

Has there ever been a band that shouted “Hypothermia! Hypothermia!” this much? No, there hasn’t! They’re one of the pioneering bands that sparked the boom of spacey post-rock groups everywhere.
