shameless; indecentCHANMINA
Chanmina, who draws popularity with a diverse musicality rooted in hip-hop, is an artist known for her powerful, straightforward expression.
Among her works, the title track of the acclaimed album “Harenchi” stands out for its stylish, pleasantly smooth sound.
The song portrays the instinctive exhilaration and danger of love within a languid, ennui-tinged atmosphere.
The delicate emotions hidden beneath the direct wording are sure to resonate deeply with listeners.
Released in September 2021, it was also chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating show “Tonari no Koi wa Aoku Mieru 3.” Draped in a sophisticated, café-ready mood, it’s the perfect track for moments when you want to feel just a bit more grown-up.
I'd rather die.Fujii Kaze
A standout masterpiece by Fujii Kaze, marked by a melody reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
There’s a dark, somewhat decadent atmosphere drifting through it.
This track is featured on the acclaimed album HELP EVER HURT NEVER, released in May 2020.
While Fujii Kaze is often associated with a refined R&B image, this work takes a turn, passionately singing of an ultimate love that would choose death over losing the beloved.
Its allure lies in the imbalance between a light, R&B-based sound and the depiction of intense obsession and devotion.
Sparked by social media, it exploded in popularity overseas, reaching No.
4 on Spotify’s global chart in 2022.
It’s the perfect song for those who want to express themselves with a selection that stands out from the crowd, or for nights when you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of music.

Singer-songwriter Shion, known for her distinctive musicality that blends a wide range of genres on an R&B foundation, is drawing attention for her talent spanning from songwriting to video production.
The work I’d like to recommend as her signature piece is this track.
It delivers a witty, exhilarating message that upends uniform standards of beauty.
Set to a brisk beat and catchy phrases, her husky, expressive vocals resonate pleasantly.
Released digitally in April 2024, it sparked a huge response on social media, surpassing 500 million total streams, and became a centerpiece of the March 2025 album “eMulsion.” It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking a stylish, standout pick that sets them apart, or for those who want to affirm their individuality and feel more positive.

This is Unchain’s cover of Ringo Sheena’s “Marunouchi Sadistic,” showcasing outstanding melodic sensibility with a male vocal.
It’s a smooth, funky tune that’s easy on the ears—a surefire charmer for people in their 20s—and it lets women show off their great taste, too.
I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. Chuutan
The song “Sukicchu-no!” by HoneyWorks and Chu-tan.
Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” this one tones down the cutesy, coquettish elements and overall delivers a more traditionally girly vibe.
The vocal range is mid2B to hiC, which is slightly high for a typical female vocal piece, but since the song shines through breath work—like breaths and consonants—to enhance its charm, the overall difficulty is on the lower side.
It’s a track that’s sure to be a hit among girls or at mixers.
FlowerZumi
Zumi is an artist whose compositions are rooted in Black music like soul and funk, earning popularity among hardcore music aficionados.
Although he’s still relatively under the radar, critics are paying close attention to him as a rising artist to watch.
His new song “Flower” is characterized by a structure that showcases his distinctive low-register voice throughout.
While you need to be mindful of the groove, the vocal range is narrow and largely sits in the low to low-mid register, making it an excellent piece for highlighting the appeal of men with deeper voices.
loveGen Hoshino
A song by Gen Hoshino that sparked a social phenomenon as the theme for the TBS drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).
Behind its creation were the pressure Hoshino himself felt and his strong desire to make exciting dance music.
Released in October 2016, the track swept across Japan along with its distinctive “Koi Dance” choreography, generating huge buzz with over 80 million views on social media.
The lyrics carry a profound message embracing diverse forms of love, drawing empathy from Hoshino’s own experience of school nonattendance.
It’s a highly recommended song for women who want to capture the hearts of men in their 20s.
