This powerful track from Miyazaki-born rapper GADORO is a reimagining of his own song with a star-studded lineup of guest features.

Included on the album “HOME,” released in July 2025, the track’s music video dropped the following August.

The unconventional collaboration—welcoming the esteemed FORK and Potchomkin, along with comedian Machiura Pink—became a major talking point.

Over a high-velocity beat, shape-shifting flows collide and spark, guaranteed to get your body moving.

KOGYARU / KOGYA`S KITCHEN【Official Music Video】

This is a delightful work born from the unexpected pairing of hip-hop and cooking.

Released in August 2025, it showcases a playful charm that’s quite different from the cool attitude shown in the debut track “SHIRANKEDO.” Guiding you through how to make chicken rice and omurice with a rap is such a unique idea.

Plus, the catchy phrases over a drill beat and the para-para choreography—complete with an official practice video—make you want to move your body and groove along! It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser to play at a party with friends.

It’s full of ease and playfulness, and it really lifts your spirits.

Perfect for a summer drive, and just right as party BGM for hanging out and chatting with friends! Make sure to enjoy the catchy lines that will have you singing along before you know it!

The challenging lyrics, which push toward surpassing their own limits, mesh perfectly with the track’s tone.

Released in August of the same year as the lead single from the album “No.

A powerful song that urges you to break conventions and transform into a new self.

Cheerful Vibes Echo (Kanade Otonose SOLO)

A catchy pop number that blows away the Monday blues at the start of the week.

It’s a solo track by Kanade Otonose from the VTuber group ReGLOSS, and just as the creators describe it as a “cheer song that sends you off every morning with a bright smile,” it’s filled with warmth.

The lyrics, which affirm that “the direction you’re facing is what’s ahead,” are like a sunflower turning toward the sun.

Listen to it on mornings when you’re starting something new or whenever you need a boost, and it’s sure to lift your spirits!

A member of ReGLOSS, a group that continues to push beyond the boundaries of VTubers, she shines here as a true artist.

Scheduled for single release in August 2025.

The lyrics vividly capture her feelings toward her work, as if her thoughts were turned directly into music.

This ambitious piece weaves in poetry reading and hip-hop—be sure to give it a listen.

Sonically, m-flo’s sophisticated groove is absolutely top-notch.

Many listeners were likely surprised by n-choco’s cool, stylish vocals—so different from their usual cheerful image.

It’s a perfect number to soundtrack a nighttime drive!
