and a tour in China, and has released the albums “bedtime story” and “C to shi ikeru mono.” She has also created numerous tie-in songs for films and anime, captivating listeners with her clear, transparent voice and distinctive sensibility.
As an artist who provides music for NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” she enjoys broad support across a wide audience.
Something like “happy”Nachi
Centered around Nachi—who grew up in rural Niigata and picked up the guitar in middle school after becoming captivated by Hi-STANDARD—Sabishisuta was formed in March 2022 and has been making headlines with their rapid rise.
In just five short months after forming, they landed a slot at SUMMER SONIC and were also selected to join 04 Limited Sazabys on tour, solidifying their momentum as a girls’ rock band.
In January 2024, they signed with PIZZA OF DEATH, headed by their idol Ken Yokoyama of Hi-STANDARD, and made their major-label debut with the album “Kakugo o Kimero!” Their music—singing of inner thrills and frustrations, as well as gratitude toward loved ones, set to melodies that evoke a sense of nostalgia—captures the hearts of many with its pure emotion and powerful performance.

A coming-of-age song that expresses the aching emotions of falling into a sweet romantic trap through delicate melodies and a clear, translucent vocal that layers over them.
The protagonist’s feelings as they drown in an irresistible love and their strong yearning for the other person leave a lasting impression.
Included on the album “S,” this track was released in March 2016 and showcases the expanding musical range of Silent Siren.
Recommended for those who want to relate to a heart swayed by love, or who are looking for a sweet yet bittersweet love song.
Revolveryonige
A song that gently portrays the sorrow of love and the changes of the heart strikes a perfect balance between wistfulness and resignation.
It delicately depicts two people who were once close gradually growing apart, using everyday scenes like pro wrestling and ramen as a lens.
Chosen as a theme for au’s Santaro commercial series and later included on the 2018 album HOUSE, the track is further brought to life in its music video, which features actor Ryuya Wakaba and conveys a cinematic atmosphere that beautifully captures the song’s world.
Embracing the hearts of those who try to look forward while carrying the pain of heartbreak, it resonates as a quintessential yonige coming-of-age song.

They are BAND-MAID, rocking hard in maid outfits.
Among the songs they create, “the non-fiction days” delivers an especially explosive surge of energy.
Their cute looks contrast with their exceptionally high-caliber performance, creating a compelling gap.
It’s a song that will get everyone hyped at karaoke.
Madly in love with one eyeGenie High
Jenny High is a band formed under the pretext of boosting the TV show’s profile.
Produced by none other than Enon Kawatani, it’s a five-piece featuring regulars from the show—Kazutoyo Koyabu and Cookie—along with Ikkyu Nakajima, plus Takashi Niigaki on piano.
Steering clear of a gag route and opting for a straight-ahead approach, their song “Kaname de Ijou ni Koishiteru” (“Madly in Love with One Eye”) is bound to become a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—albeit for reasons a little different than usual.
