It’s a track by an alternative rock band.

With female vocals and just the right sprinkle of dissonance, it has the flavorful feel of 1970s rock.

Velojet – COLD HANDS / P A N O R A M A

It’s a slightly unusual pop song by a female-fronted band.

The music video has a contemporary art vibe, suggesting they care not only about the music but also the visuals.

The lyrics are distinctive, though they may be hard to understand since they aren’t in Japanese.

The sound blends pop with a touch of prog rock, giving it a slightly playful feel.

Turn Me OnThe Grates

They’re a pop-rock band with a female vocalist.

Her clear, pleasant voice is a joy to listen to, and on top of that she’s beautiful—nothing to complain about.

The sound leans toward dance-pop, giving the impression of rock you can dance to.

It might feel a bit lacking for those who love heavy, hard-hitting rock, but I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys dance music.

This track features a symphonic rock sound with trumpets effectively arranged.

It’s recommended for those who enjoy a vibe that could be classified as psychedelic rock.

Think Pink Floyd or King Crimson and you’ll get the idea.

I also recommend it to people who like Famicom chiptune sounds or video game music—it falls into a fairly accessible, popular category in that sense.

All NothingThe Good China

With a sound that could be classified as pop rock or alternative rock, this track features a comical and upbeat progression.

The guitar tones tug at the emotions, while the lively bass and drums make it a great pick for fans of pop rock.

I think it’s perfect for a walk or a drive.

They’re an artist with a new wave sound.

I can recommend them to anyone who wants to listen to 70s–80s new wave.

The songs are bright and uplifting—music that helps you forget your worries.

The vocals have an encouraging tone that cheers you up when you’re feeling down, and I think the songs will put a smile on your face.
