hindsightRIP SLYME
RIP SLYME is a five-member hip-hop group made up of four MCs and one DJ.
This work, which marks their 25th anniversary year, is sure to resonate especially with those who’ve learned to enjoy music differently than they did in their youth.
Riding a comfortable mid-tempo beat, the members trade verses like they’re chatting about their own lives.
Beneath the lighthearted banter runs a sense of gratitude for the past and a gaze toward the future.
The contrast between the rapid-fire raps and the gently affecting, melodic hook is addictive.
Put it on while driving with old friends, and you’ll surely find yourselves reminiscing in no time!
KentuckyGenie High
This piece, included on the album “Jenny Classic,” whose tracks began early digital release in June 2023, is another song that showcases their unique style.
It portrays the emotions of a couple in the doldrums of a relationship, resulting in a languid yet heartrending mood.
The band sound deftly conveys the frustrating feelings of searching for a chance to mend the relationship.
It’s a perfect track for those who want to explore the realistic side of romance or take their time with a song that tells a story.
knot; tie; bind; concludeSaucy Dog
A song by Saucy Dog that vividly captures the restless, fidgety feelings from a male perspective and the slightly awkward atmosphere of a new relationship.
It was released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me,” which came out in September of the same year.
The anxiety and jealousy born from being mutually in love—and therefore not wanting to lose the other person—tighten your chest, especially when mixed with the exhilaration of summer.
Yet the song also expresses deep affection for a partner who accepts that clumsiness, along with a warm resolve to build a future together, which makes your heart feel at ease as you listen.
If you play it on a summer evening spent together, you’ll surely be reminded of how precious you are to each other.
CASE 143Stray Kids
Stray Kids is a boys’ group that’s rapidly gaining momentum.
In Japan, they’re affectionately known as “Sukizu” and loved by many female fans.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its singability and crowd-pleasing energy is CASE 143, released in 2022.
While the overall vocal range is quite wide—low G# to high F#—the low notes appear in the rap parts and the high notes only show up in the final chorus, so the basic range isn’t that broad.
The high notes also come after clear rests, so you can prepare and hit them comfortably.
If you’re still unsure, you can sing the high parts an octave lower.
knot; tie; bind; concludewacci
A heartwarming ballad by the pop-rock band wacci that rekindles light even in a heart once lost in love.
Through everyday scenes, you can feel the gentle, profound bond the two have built.
Even while knowing the future is uncertain, the strong resolve to walk together with a loved one rides on a grand melody and resonates deeply.
Released in May 2019, the song was later included on the album “Empathy.” To commemorate its release, a project was held to gift a live performance at a wedding, underscoring that this is a special song for celebrating new beginnings.
It gently supports two people who are overcoming the past and reaching for happiness once more.
The Path Where Beasts TreadRingo Sheena, Hiroji Miyamoto
It’s a song where you can hear the cry of a solitary soul, like a beast forging its own path.
The vocals are by Ringo Sheena, with her one-of-a-kind worldview, and Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi.
Their distinct personalities clash like sparks yet meld in harmony—truly nothing short of breathtaking.
The track portrays the struggle between instinct and reason faced by those fighting within society, and a fierce resolve to move toward dawn.
Released in October 2018 as the theme for NTV’s “news zero” and later included on the landmark album Sandokushi, this is a song you’ll want to play when you’re determined to charge down the path you believe in.

CakeYūnosuke
Despite its sweet title, this track harbors a bitter message.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Yunosuke, known for works like “PaⅢ.SENSATION,” it was included on the EP “Vanguard” released in September 2024, with its music video premiering in June 2025.
The languid vocal tone and sound arrangement are striking.
The lyrics portray the fragility of human relationships that are severed all too easily, prompting reflection.
On a night tinged with complicated feelings, this sound might just keep you company.
