When the anemones bloomtsurusaburo
“No matter how long I wait, I can’t wait any longer”—that overflowing emotion gives the song a sense of speed.
It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Tsuruzo, released in August 2023, and it participated in the Bokakore 2023 Summer TOP 100 ranking.
The track features a style that fuses rock and jazz.
The sparkling piano tones and restless, roaming synth phrases linger in your ears.
The arrangement perfectly matches lyrics that push to the forefront the feeling of “I want to see you!”
Sorry, sorry.hyakkai ōto
The light, stylish sound arrangement might be what stands out at first, but what I really want you to focus on are the lyrics! It’s a work by 100-kai Outo, also known as the creator of “I can’t even become NANIMONO” and “Just praise me for being alive,” released in 2020.
Words with an incredibly good feel to them come crashing in like waves.
And once you hear it, the chorus melody will surely get stuck in your head.
Plus, as mentioned above, pay attention to the lyrical content that feels like 100-kai Outo’s emotions are overflowing onto the page.
The final chorus, in particular, is outstanding.
Killer QueenAyase
This is a work by Ayase, a Vocaloid producer who’s also active as a member of the music duo YOASOBI.
Released in 2019, its addictive quality grabbed listeners right away.
While many may associate Ayase with stylish, city-pop vibes, this track has a driving, rock-infused feel.
Anchored by a four-on-the-floor rhythm, it’s incredibly easy to groove to.
The dark lyrics also mesh perfectly with the tone of the song—it’s seriously cool.
Unlucky!Fushi
A feverish melody paired with a clear, straight-shooting vocal.
It’s a rock tune that you can’t help but groove to! Released in August 2024 by Fushi, this track also competed in the Vocacolle 2024 Summer TOP100 rankings.
The high-speed arrangement is, in a word, badass.
You can feel the determination to keep looking forward, even while carrying misfortune and frustration.
The guitar riffs are snappy and might just make you sit up a little straighter! The crisp vocals lock in perfectly with the sound.
Add it to your playlist when you need a quick boost of energy!
711KiiTail
A sweet-and-sour, moving rock tune that sings about the happiness of being with someone you love.
It’s a song by KiiTail, a husband-and-wife music duo of Kazunekko and Mikanbako, released in 2023.
The warm band sound and Miku’s unadorned vocals truly stir the heart.
The emotional arrangement in the final chorus especially hits hard.
The down-to-earth words in the lyrics are genuinely wonderful.
I’m sure many people long for a relationship like this.
Afterglow Fake EndKohm
This song is the ending piece of Chapter 3 in a series of tracks that depict a friendship story about escaping from prison.
It’s especially unique how Chapter 3 is tied to the word “Zanshō” (afterglow).
Take your time and carefully interpret the meaning of the lyrics.
Idola’s CircusNeru
It’s classic, straightforward rock with an easy-to-listen, upbeat groove.
The key is very high, so it might be tough to sing at karaoke.
The lyrics are inspired by Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s “The Spider’s Thread,” and the idea that the Buddha is actually a trickster is really interesting.
Listening to it makes you want to dance.
