high tensionAKB48
AKB48’s 46th single.
The center is Haruka Shimazaki, and it’s her final single.
True to its title, the song, lyrics, and music video are all high-tension and energetic.
While some of the repeated lyrics might seem meaningless, there are deeply thoughtful lines woven in between.
The message is to enjoy life to the fullest because you only live once.
Recommended for those who want to forget stress and get hyped.
a walk in the parkAmuro Namie
A dance tune released during Namie Amuro’s first peak era.
It’s one of those songs where the buildup before the chorus is delightfully tantalizing! The sense of release feels amazing.
Take a little break now and then, and be kind to yourself.
A stroll in the park is a great idea!
Silent majorityKeyakizaka46
Keyakizaka46’s debut single, released in 2016.
With a shadowy, mature mood uncharacteristic of typical idol songs, it became a highly popular track right from their debut.
When you’re working, there are times you get exhausted by interpersonal relationships, various constraints, and the systems around you.
In moments like that, it’s nice to raise your spirits with an relentlessly positive song, but it might also be good to comfort yourself with a song like this—one that carries a rebellious spirit and a strong determination to stay true to yourself.
HeroFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
“Hero” by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, a group that sadly disbanded in 2013.
This song was their 11th single, released in 2009.
They’re known for using close-up photos of celebrities on their CD covers, and for this release it was a double-sided design featuring announcer Shinichi Hatori and former Japan national soccer player Masashi Nakayama.
The song praises hard-working fathers as heroes, and it’s likely an encouraging anthem for office workers who give their all each day—especially dads whose children are waiting for them at home.

It’s us.imase
If you’re feeling anxious or irritated about your current situation and don’t know what to do, I recommend “Bokurada” by imase.
New employees who’ve just joined a company and anyone still early in their career will especially relate.
The lyrics portray a strong determination to seize a future true to oneself by overcoming things one by one, even though every day feels stifling under so many rules.
If things aren’t going well and every day feels boring, let this song give you hope.
MemoryCATS
“CATS,” which was imported to Japan and enjoys legendary popularity as a Shiki Theatre Company musical.
Here is the original English version of “Memory.” Grizabella, the former glamour cat now shunned by all, sings as she recalls the beauty and joy of her younger days.
Her magnificent voice and expressive power are truly awe-inspiring.
