YABI×YABI is a two-member vocal unit consisting of Jugong and Nagong.

They wrote Yappari Economy as the ending theme for the anime Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement.

While the anime follows a protagonist who saves money, the song comically portrays both the fun and the challenges of that endeavor.

By sampling video game sound effects, it creates a somewhat fantastical atmosphere.

YA YA YAZoo

This is a signature song by ZOO, a dance and vocal group that epitomized the 1990s.

Also selected as the campaign song for JR East’s “ski ski,” the track features a catchy melody and upbeat rhythm.

Its lyrics, packed with positivity and an infectious groove, lift listeners’ spirits.

Released in October 1992, it reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Brimming with ZOO’s charm, this song pairs an era-appropriate danceable sound with outstanding dance performance.

Yakusoku / aiko with lyrics
promiseaiko

Since her major debut in 1998, aiko has released one hit after another as one of the most popular female singer-songwriters, and she continues to lead the music scene even now in the 2020s.

Her songs—born from lyrics colored by her unique sense of language and chord progressions and melodic sensibilities unconstrained by music theory—resonate with listeners across generations, especially when it comes to love songs.

“Yakusoku” (Promise), included as the final track on her eighth major-label album “Himitsu,” released in 2008, is a bittersweet number that sings of saying goodbye to someone dear while promising to meet again someday.

The lyrics can be taken as a farewell to a friend from school days or a lover, but it also seems like a song that could move both sides when gifted to a cherished junior at the moment of graduation.

As you recall your happy memories, sing it as if speaking gently to them.

Dark hotpot!!!!cosMo@bousou P

cosMo@Bousou-P, who has produced numerous “legendary” tracks, created a particularly unique piece among his works: “Yaminabe!!!!”.

Its most distinctive feature is that the BPM repeatedly rises and falls between 75 and 300, giving you the sensation that many different songs have been packed into one.

It truly lives up to the name “Yaminabe” (“dark hot pot”).

Although this approach hadn’t appeared in cosMo@Bousou-P’s previous works, it pairs perfectly with his hallmark ultra-fast vocals.
