Join us !Naniwa Danshi
One of the tracks included on the sixth single “I Wish,” “Join us!” Despite being a B-side, it has enjoyed exceptional popularity, even receiving a music video.
It features the refreshing, bright melodies that are a hallmark of Naniwa Danshi.
The vocal range is mid1 E to mid2 G#, which is fairly narrow for a Naniwa Danshi song, so it should be easy for men to sing.
However, the chorus contains prolonged mid-to-high phrases, so be sure to choose a key that doesn’t strain your throat or temples.
JELLYNumber_i
A Number_i track that likens tender, fragile feelings of love to jelly.
Produced by member Yuta Jinguji, it delicately captures the wistfulness of late summer.
The lyrics ask, “What would the jelly filled with my feelings for you taste like?”—a question that conveys the fear that this love might one day melt away and disappear, tightening the listener’s chest.
Included on their debut album No.
I, released in September 2024.
10% chance of rainH₂O
This song lets you savor the fluttering excitement of love just beginning, like weather you can’t quite predict.
It was included on the single released by the folk duo H₂O in March 1983 and was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Miyuki.” The duo’s breezy harmonies glide over a light, tropical sound.
In contrast to the ballad on the A-side, this arrangement became a hit, selling over 400,000 copies.
Its sophisticated, city-pop-like ensemble would make for the perfect soundtrack to a refreshing seaside drive.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who loves ’80s New Music.
Myself ROCKONE OK ROCK
It carries a soul-stirring, fiery message: don’t lie to yourself—charge down the path you believe in.
The lyrics, which plainly remind us that the protagonist of life is none other than ourselves, really resonate in the heart.
Energetic guitar riffs and driving drums seem to bolster that determination.
This work was released in April 2010 as a TSUTAYA-exclusive rental single, ahead of the acclaimed album “Niche Syndrome.” It’s a powerful rock tune that gives a strong push to anyone who needs courage to face a towering wall or feels on the verge of losing their sense of self.
OctoberTETORA
A song by TETORA is one I want to listen to when the air starts to turn a bit chilly.
This track is included on the album “13 Months,” released in June 2024.
The album is a conceptual work themed around one year and one extra month, imbued with memories and feelings tied to each month.
The emotional vocals overlap with autumn’s distinctive sentimental atmosphere, gently resonating in the heart.
How about giving it a careful listen on a long night when you feel like getting lost in thought?
normal temperatureVaundy
Vaundy’s song captures the impulsive thrill of falling in love through the heat rushing through the body and the pounding of the heart.
From the cool guitar riff in the intro, the strong rock flavor grabs you instantly—it’s irresistible.
The track features intelligent lyrics that express the exhilaration of romance in physical terms, syncing the heat of summer with the heat of love.
This song is included on the album “replica,” released in November 2023.
It was later featured in a Zexy commercial and as the theme song for the film “GEMNIBUS vol.
1,” released in April 2024, so many of you may have heard it.
Paired with emotional summer visuals—friends goofing around on the beach or a twilight drive—it will make for a passionate, unforgettable reel.
It’s the perfect number for moments when you want to take your mood to the absolute peak.
I jumped into the pool in October.Keyakizaka46
With their exceptional expressiveness and powerful messages, Keyakizaka46 radiated a presence that transcended the idol genre.
This is a single brimming with fresh, impulsive energy that blows away the melancholic mood of autumn.
The image of breaking out of a stifling daily life and heading to an out-of-season pool conveys a strong desire to shatter the status quo.
The track is included on the best-of album released in October 2020, “A Moment Longer Than Eternity: We Who Certainly Existed Back Then.” It was also featured in an AEON Card commercial.
Incidentally, although it was originally prepared as a single, various circumstances led to it being shelved, and fans are still hoping for a standalone single release.
