Twilight in the SpyUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
It’s a perverse and addictive song.
After a monotonous intro melody, the chorus feels like someone else introducing a certain woman.
It might be good for hardcore fans or for those who discovered USG through Tiger & Bunny and want to explore more of their songs.
Born SlippyUVERworld
Born Slippy is a cover of a song by Underworld, known as a globally acclaimed techno unit.
It’s included on their eighth album, Ø CHOIR, and while it preserves the original’s airy feel, the UVERworld-style arrangement is striking.
With a low key, a narrow vocal range, and little dynamic variation, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t very confident singers.
However, since it’s a cover of a Western song and the lyrics are entirely in English, be sure to memorize them well before performing it in front of others at karaoke.
These are not my words; these are our words.UVERworld
UVERworld’s 27th single, released on May 27, 2015.
It was used as the opening theme for season 1 of the MBS/TBS anime The Heroic Legend of Arslan.
It features jazz-like elements in places, which, combined with hard rock, give it a uniquely compelling appeal.

Their 19th single, “Wasuremono,” released in November 2022, drew attention after being featured in a McDonald’s TV commercial.
The lyrics, which trace memories one by one, create a nostalgic atmosphere that tugs at the heartstrings.
The dramatic arrangement, highlighted by strings, is also striking.
The chorus stays within a modest vocal range, making it fairly approachable to attempt.
It’s best to aim for a warm vocal tone that matches the song’s ambience.
BOUNCEWANIMA
“BOUNCE” has a groove that feels like it draws on the charms of Latin music.
WANIMA’s commitment to Japanese lyrics shines in this track as well.
If you listen to it while taking a walk on a warm day, you’ll find yourself whistling before you know it.
It puts you in a cozy, sunny mood and gives you a boost of energy.
Our Eternity — A love that, no matter how many times we’re reborn, only wants to hold hands.WEAVER
A three-piece piano rock band drawing attention for their distinctive sound that doesn’t feature the guitar, the star instrument of most rock bands.
True to their name, which means “people who spin (weave) music,” their piano-based, translucent ensemble offers a charm different from aggressive guitar rock.
They also showcase talents beyond music—such as collaborating between the works of their drummer, Toru Kawabe, who is also a novelist, and their music—which is refreshingly innovative.
A rock band poised to broaden their musicality and creative vision even further, they are a next-generation force in the J-POP scene.
My feelingsWaT
Eiji Wentz, a masculine-looking half-American, half-Japanese performer, and Teppei Koike, whose boyish freshness is part of his charm—these two formed the music duo WaT, and their major-label debut single is “Boku no Kimochi” (“My Feelings”).
The lyrics were written by both members, and the way they cherish their partners while staying true to their real, everyday selves is truly moving.
The music video is also beautiful, featuring the two in white outfits intercut with slice-of-life scenes.
Be sure to watch it along with the song!
