It’s an emotional number marked by a strikingly radiant melody set against a rich, weighty ensemble.
God of RomanceHirose Kōmi
The intro alone gets you hyped, right? When it comes to winter, it has to be this song! It’s one of Kohmi Hirose’s signature tracks, released in 1993.
I bet some of you can’t help but belt it out.
The build-up to the chorus, the familiar melody, and the go-my-own-way, happy lyrics—everything is packed with feel-good elements! It was originally a song Hirose wrote in middle school that was rearranged into a pop style, and it’s overflowing with an upbeat vibe.
The soaring vocals are incredible too, and there’s no doubt it feels great to nail it at karaoke!
Funky JumpingDa-iCE
The song Da-iCE created as the theme for Exoprimal is “Funky Jumping.” Sota Hanamura, who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, says he crafted it with the game’s world in mind.
Overall, it gives a stylish and cool impression, singing about “battle” and “conflict.” The lyrics even include gaming terminology, resulting in a piece that radiates love for the work.
It’s also full of playful touches, such as acrostic (vertical reading) elements in the lyrics.
damnFuji Kaze
This is a track by Fujii Kaze that leaves a strong impression with its breathtaking performance and vocals, conveying a swelling of emotion as he confronts the self throughout the song.
Set to a rhythmically driven piano rooted in R&B and soul, it explores themes of self-love and self-liberation.
It was included on the March 2022 album “LOVE ALL SERVE ALL” and was also released as a single in September of the same year.
Chosen as the theme for NTT Docomo’s “docomo future project” commercial, the piece beautifully expresses a dialogue with the self through its performance.
It’s the perfect song for moments of restlessness or anxiety, or when you want to look inward.
The music video, directed by Kento Yamada, depicts the struggle and growth toward self-liberation through Fujii Kaze’s performance.
Its exhilarating sound makes it a recommended pick when you’re feeling rushed.
