Their signature track is “Senbonzakura.” The song itself has been used in commercials and the like, so many people will probably recognize it.
True to their name, they’ve arranged it into an energetic, Japanese-style sound.
It’s highly recommended for karaoke sessions with Vocaloid fans—in fact, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Shooting starLeo Ieiri
Characterized by a comic book-style music video, this track by Leo Ieiri is a refreshing, fast-paced number.
While many of her signature songs lean toward ballads, this one bursts with energy and has the exact opposite vibe.
I think plenty of people struggle with the complex of “not having confidence in themselves,” but the lyrics embrace that vulnerable side and give you a push: “Now’s the time to change!” Paired with its catchy sound, it’s a feel-good anthem that boosts your spirits the more you listen—definitely give it a try.

Sakurazaka46 is a hugely popular idol group.
“Sukimakazeyo” is included as a coupling track on their seventh single, “Shōnin Yokkyū.” Compared to the title track, this song has a somewhat wetter, more introspective feel.
The lyrics, which portray someone moving forward positively while wrestling with their worries, are something anyone can relate to.
The music video, shot amid grand, sweeping scenery, has also become a hot topic—be sure to check it out to immerse yourself even more in the song’s world.
Dancing HeroYoko Oginome
This song is a hit cover by Yoko Oginome of Angie Gold’s 1985 original “Eat You Up.” It features the classic disco sound of the time and is an iconic piece of music from Japan’s bubble era.
In recent years, a high school dance team performed a routine to this track, bringing it back into the spotlight.
It’s a very upbeat song, so I’m sure it will get everyone excited.
The ultimate fave!Airi Suzuki
Airi Suzuki is known for her time as a member of ℃-ute and Buono! and is also active as an actress and model.
Her track “Saikyō no Oshi!” released digitally on October 25, 2023, was selected as the theme song for the TV drama “My Oshi Became My Boss.” The lyrics, which sing about how having an oshi brightens and enriches one’s life, feel distinctly modern and are likely to resonate with many listeners.
It’s a cute, upbeat tune with a superb arrangement that moves from a grand opening into a pop ensemble.
