Sky of OblivionSADS
This is the fourth single by the rock band SADS, which was formed by Kiyoharu—known as the vocalist of Kuroyume, a visual kei band that enjoyed immense popularity—together with his own label.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama Ikebukuro West Gate Park and is also known as one of SADS’ signature tracks.
The interplay between the delicate tones of the acoustic guitar and the gritty rock sound creates an ensemble that further highlights Kiyoharu’s distinctive vocals.
It’s an energy-filled rock tune that will lift your spirits and fire you up when you’re feeling low.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
When it comes to songs that give a push to those working hard at school or work, “Ashita mo” comes to mind.
The rock band SHISHAMO included it on their 2017 album SHISHAMO 4.
It features the kind of straightforward, passionate rock sound unique to a three-piece band.
The lyrics, which depict people who keep going even on days when nothing goes right, are especially memorable.
Coupled with Asako Miyazaki’s girlish vocals, it’s a track that gives you the courage to step into an unseen future.
Let yourself be soothed by its warm message that embraces loneliness and anxiety.

Silent JealousyX JAPAN
The sixth single by X Japan, the five-member rock band that coined the term “visual kei” in Japan’s rock scene and has achieved global success.
At the time, the song’s fusion of a thrash metal-inspired style—still unfamiliar in Japan—with classical grandeur was shocking, and it became a hot topic after being performed at the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, where X Japan made their first appearance.
From the peerless, overpowering drum technique and a bass solo that fires up the interlude, to the melodic twin-lead guitar solo and the soaring high-register vocals that hype up listeners, every element of the track comes together to elevate the mood in this rock anthem.

Reol is a female artist who started out as an utaite singer.
She shot to fame with “The Sixth Sense” in 2020.
After that, she seemed to release more pop-leaning tracks, but the key point with 2023’s “Kirakira” is that it revives the beautiful yet fleeting tone found in her pre-“Sixth Sense” songs.
Specifically, it evokes that uniquely exotic atmosphere you can only feel in her music—akin to tracks like “YoiYoi Kokon” and “Utena”—and it’s absolutely irresistible!
