Hey,BrotherRIP SLYME
This is RIP SLYME’s “Hey, Brother,” the theme song for the 2006 film Mamiya Brothers.
The word “brothers” is right there in the title, so yes—it’s a song about brothers.
Songs about siblings often lean into nostalgia and sentimentality, but this one delivers a characteristically RIP SLYME take: a track about brothers that exudes a languid, grown-up vibe.
Hey! I Love You!Rage
Released in July 1977, this was Lazy’s debut single, and it was also included on their first album, “This is the LAZY,” released in March 1978.
The band, which had a strong inclination toward Western rock bands, made their debut after catching the eye of Hiroshi Kamayatsu (a former member of The Spiders) during a TV appearance in 1977.
While many of their singles, including this song, have an idol-oriented sound, their live performances often feature arrangements in rock or metal styles.
Hey Boy,Hey GirlSEAMO feat.BoA
This is a song included on SEAMO’s third album, “Round About,” released in November 2007.
Featuring the popular Japanese-Korean artist BoA as a guest, it’s a collaborative love song where SEAMO’s light, upbeat rap pairs well with BoA’s beautiful vocals.
The assertive lyrics are also notable: while he expresses the feeling that “you should be with me,” the line in which she says she wants to look at him more objectively leaves a strong impression.
Hey HoSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI is a four-member mixed-gender band that captivates fans with lyrics spanning from the minimal to the global.
Their 10th major single, “Hey Ho,” was released as a support single for the zero animal euthanasia project “Bremen.” The lyrics depict the difficulty of taking action for someone else, and the reality that there are still beings calling for help—words that may make many listeners stop and think.
It’s a song about the weight of life, where a strong message contrasts with a pop ensemble that tightens the chest.
umbilical cordSOFFet
Formed by childhood friends since their elementary school days, SOFFet is a two-member music group in which each member handles songwriting, vocals, and instrument performance.
This is their seventh single.
The track features piano and strings, and the gentle melody and rap feel so pleasant, don’t they? The lyrics weave a message of gratitude to a mother—something that becomes harder to express out loud as we grow up—and many listeners will likely see themselves in it.
It’s a moving masterpiece that will make many people feel like they want to go see their mothers just by listening.
CowardsSTU48
The bright, uplifting melody gives you the power to do your best tomorrow.
It’s a song by STU48, a popular idol group based in the Setouchi region, released in 2021 as their seventh single.
The refreshing, catchy rock-style sound is very easy to listen to, and the members’ cute vocals really shine.
If you often think, “I’m such a hopeless person,” this one’s especially for you.
It’s also great for karaoke—singing it will put you in a cheerful mood.

clumsy personSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog is a three-piece rock band that has gained popularity for its relatable, down-to-earth lyrics and soaring high-tone vocals.
The song “Heppoko Man,” which opens the EP Hashiyasume—a collection of bonus tracks—was originally included on their second mini-album, Salad Days.
The lyrics depict the helpless ache of still being in love even when you know the other person doesn’t see you, a sadness that feels all the more unavoidable because no one is really at fault.
It’s a sentimental ballad that also draws attention for featuring drummer Yui Saito on vocals.
