Donpan-bushifolk song
A heartwarming folk song that keeps the traditions of Akita Prefecture alive.
After being chosen as the theme song for the 1961 National Sports Festival in Akita, it gained nationwide popularity.
Set to a dynamic melody played on traditional Japanese instruments such as the shakuhachi, shamisen, flute, and drums, it vividly portrays the region’s nature and daily life.
Its distinctive rhythm and humor-filled lyrics make it irresistibly singable.
At the festival held every August, a rock arrangement is also performed, giving it cross-generational appeal.
Along with nostalgic memories, it’s a song that older adults are sure to enjoy, perfect for singing and dancing at Bon Odori and senior gatherings.
Dried Flowerimase
When it comes to singer-songwriters who truly master falsetto, I think many people these days would picture imase.
Among imase’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Dried Flower.” This piece, arranged with a downbeat feel, is sung mostly in falsetto.
It’s practically a song that exists for the pleasure of listening to falsetto.
From a piercing, almost shrill falsetto to a soft, enveloping whispery falsetto, it lets you savor a wide range of head voice textures.
I can't go anywhere.Usagi 3
A song whose weighted emotion truly strikes the heart.
It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Usagi 3, released in February 2025.
Emotionally charged rock sounds intertwine with lyrics that distill feelings for a cherished presence.
Its dramatic progression shakes the deepest emotions to the core.
You can’t help but ponder the story behind why there’s “nowhere to go.”
I just want to live with a kind of dull, numb feeling.Orii-be Kofi
It’s a supportive anthem that stands with those who have delicate hearts.
Its heartwarming message and pop-rock sound strike a perfect balance.
Released in October 2024 and composed by Oribe Kofi, this track is also included on the album “NAP TIME WONDERS.” You’ll be moved by Seikai’s soaring vocals and the exhilarating progression woven together with sharp guitar riffs.
When you’re worn out from worrying too much about how others see you or constantly reading the room, this song will surely be a source of comfort.
It might also be the perfect spark for telling a friend how you really feel.
Singing in the pouring rainshigure (late autumn/early winter drizzle)
“Singing in the Torrential Rain” is a piece released by Shigure in November 2019.
It was written specifically for Emerald, the 10th-anniversary compilation album for Amau Uta L.
Its emotional, dramatic development is captivating, giving the impression that the feelings swell as the song progresses.
The lyrics, imbued with a sense of farewell to a loved one, are heart-wrenching.
It’s a work that makes you want to keep looking forward and moving on, even in the pouring rain.

As the very first release on the Three Blind Mice (TBM) label, it stands as a true milestone in the history of Japanese jazz.
Blending the passionate drive of modern and free jazz with a distinctly Japanese sensibility, the album’s superb sound captivated jazz fans of the time.

With its bold sonic vision and compelling performances, this is a must-hear for anyone seeking fresh vitality within the jazz tradition.

HANA radiates an overwhelming presence as a seven-member girls’ group that symbolizes the new era of the music scene.

63 million streams in the first week and setting a new annual high for a female artist.
Their breathtaking live performances captivate audiences every time and are not to be missed, and they’re set to perform at SUMMER SONIC 2025 in both Tokyo and Osaka this summer.
