Paradise of Distorted TimeVIENNA

Formed in 1987, VIENNA is a supergroup indispensable to any discussion of Japan’s progressive rock scene.

Virtuoso players like Yukihiro Fujimura and Shusei Tsukamoto came together and debuted in 1988 with the album “Overture.” While weaving in complex odd meters and key changes, they embraced melody with a strong sense of songcraft, shining uniquely in a genre that often leans toward sheer technical showmanship.

Their dramatic developments—like a fusion of the structural beauty of classical music and the power of hard rock—are sure to captivate you.

Although their initial run was short, they reformed in 1998 with Kozo Suganuma on drums, remaining beloved by fans.

If you want to immerse yourself in meticulous ensemble work and a grand, expansive sound world, be sure to check them out.

Samaland in the eveningUlulU

UlulU is a band whose sharp words—capturing fleeting moments of everyday life—and impulsive performances strike straight to the heart.

Based in Tokyo, this three-piece blends the raw edge of garage rock with melody-rich songwriting.

Formed around 2015, they even embarked on a Canadian tour in 2018, showing the drive to cross borders.

Hanayo Otaki’s earnest vocals stir the listener’s emotions.

Your Graduation1986OMEGATRIBE

Although it was a B-side on their debut single, this ballad by 1986 OMEGA TRIBE has maintained enduring popularity among fans.

Released in May 1986 as the B-side of the single, it stands in contrast to the sparkling summer song on the A-side, carefully portraying bittersweet scenes of graduation season and the wavering emotions that come with it.

In fact, this was the very first track Carlos Toshiki recorded in Japan as the lead vocalist, and his delicate, translucent voice strikingly enhances the worldview of the lyrics, which dwell on the sorrow of parting.

While it never had any major tie-ins, it has continued to be included without fail on remastered album editions and special box sets, a testament to its long-lasting affection.

It’s a deeply moving song that I especially recommend to those standing at the major threshold of graduation, carrying a mix of uncertainty and hope.

Yuki-kun, you know…narumiya

This unsettling yet heartrending song portrays a girl who can’t quite fit into everyday life, speaking one-sidedly to her imaginary friend.

The vocalist is Narumiya, a rising creator who handles everything from lyrics and composition to mixing.

Released on November 21, 2025, the track delves deeply into themes of dependency and inner darkness—so much so that the artist calls it “the most problematic work I’ve ever made.” It’s an addictive number that pierces the heart of anyone who’s ever wished, on a lonely night, for someone to listen.

Ayaka Murayama, who has appeared in over 1,000 AKB48 theater performances and has long been beloved by fans as the “Goddess of the Theater.” Created to coincide with her graduation from the group, this work bears her nickname in its title and is a moving ballad that conveys gratitude while she looks at herself as an idol with an objective eye.

As it reflects on her journey so far, her vocals, filled with determination to move forward into the future, are impossible to listen to without tears.

It’s a coupling track included on the limited first edition TYPE-A of the single “Masaka no Confession,” released in April 2025, with lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto.

It’s a gentle masterpiece that will resonate with anyone embarking on a new chapter from a place they’ve spent many years, or parting ways with cherished companions.
