Twilight NostalgiaNaoto Intiraymi
The phrase “unadorned coolness” feels like it exists for Naoto Inti Raymi.
His songs are filled with positive messages like courage, gratitude, and kindness, and I think this track, “Yugure Nostalgia,” packs all of them in.
With lyrics that gently stand by you—like saying, “Life can be complicated, but when the sun sets, maybe it’s okay to forget it all for a moment”—it will surely soothe the fatigue of your day.
The tender, word-wise opening hook might just make you cry if you hear it unexpectedly.
Tie and open, the Rakshasa and the bodyhachi
Kenshi Yonezu, also known as Hachi, released the hit song “Matryoshka of Demons and Corpses” (Yuun de Hiraite Rasetsu to Mukuro) in 2009, drawing listeners into a mysterious world.
The charm of this track lies in its dark and intricate themes.
It portrays human desire and the shadows of society through fantastical yet grotesque imagery.
That heavy message pairs exquisitely with Hatsune Miku’s voice, resulting in an addictive piece of music.
If you sing it at karaoke, try to immerse yourself in the song’s deep worldview and deliver it with heartfelt emotion.

Singer-songwriter Mayu Hanafusa, who began performing live in earnest during her college years and has been highly active—playing more than 300 shows a year—released the album “Kesshō” on October 19, 2022.
Closing the album, the track “Yūyake Catharsis” features a spacious arrangement centered on acoustic guitar and strings that leaves a strong impression.
Its lyrics, which suggest that the way we perceive sunsets changes from our youth, evoke the worries and inner conflicts that grow as we mature.
It’s a nostalgic number whose clear yet wistful vocals linger in the ear.

Backdrop Cinderella is a four-piece rock band known for their unique sound that fuses folk music with rock and for their energetic live performances.
Their digital-only single “Asobi ni Ikitai,” released on March 18, 2023, is an impressive track whose lyrics and sprightly beat make you want to go somewhere, just like the title suggests.
The off-beat guitar cutting and interlocking bass line give the ensemble a sense of speed.
It’s a catchy rock tune where the bass steps forward at just the right moments to elevate the song—be sure to listen for that standout bass playing.

Its striking fusion of rich, club-shaking beats and digital textures has a transporting allure that draws listeners into another world.
Since its October 2023 release, the track has not only lit up club sets but also delivered a head-nodding, body-moving groove at home, winning over countless dance fans.

YouTuberPinokio P
A pop, upbeat song that cynically captures YouTuber culture.
It’s a work by PinocchioP, released in July 2024.
The electripop sound arrangement draws you in, and the melody and lyrics are quintessentially PinocchioP.
It projects insights into the digital age, such as the commitment to keep uploading even without viewers and a depiction of a future where AI makes videos.
It might just encapsulate the image of modern Japanese creators.
Red sky at duskFurēberu Shōnen Gasshōdan
When it comes to songs about sunsets, many people probably think of this one first.
It’s a representative Japanese children’s song that many of us heard in school.
It might even be the very first “sunset song” you ever recognized in your life.
The lyrics were written in 1919 by Uko Nakamura, a poet who was working as an elementary school teacher, and the music was later composed by Shin Kusakawa.
The word “koyake” is said to have two possible interpretations: one is that it was chosen for its pleasing sound, and the other is that it reflects different scenes of a changing sunset.
The song depicts feelings experienced when returning home and beautiful scenery, with lyrics that gently accompany you as you make your way back to your hometown.
