KichijojiANORAK!
ANORAK! is a band formed in Tokyo in 2019.
Their appeal lies in a sound that fuses elements of the emo revival and melodic punk.
Their prowess has earned high praise from Masafumi Goto of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.
Since their first EP in 2020, they’ve steadily released new music, and in 2024 they put out their second album, “Self-actualization and the ignorance and hesitation towards it.” Their unconventional sound features delicate twin-guitar arpeggios and bold tempo shifts.
Highly recommended for those who want to be moved by an emotional resonance.
Kiss meKOH+
This song brilliantly captures the world of the mystery drama “Galileo,” in which genius physicist Manabu Yukawa and rookie detective Kaoru Utsumi solve difficult cases through scientific approaches.
With striking lyrics that incorporate scientific terminology and a soothing melody woven by Ko Shibasaki’s clear, transparent vocals, it skillfully portrays the emotions of a detective awkward in love.
Written and composed by Masaharu Fukuyama, it was released in November 2007 as KOH+’s debut work.
By playing over the drama’s ending, it added a sense of refreshment and lingering resonance after serious developments, leaving a deep impression on viewers.
A Gift Without a StampWANIMA
WANIMA covered this classic song, themed around the feelings embedded in everyday words like “thank you” and “good job,” with their own distinctive sound.
Originally a warm message song crafted by Kazuo Zaitsu in 1977, WANIMA reimagined it with ska and doo-wop elements, giving it a lively, rhythmic feel.
Included on their single “JUICE UP!!” released in August 2016, the track also gained attention as the song for Recruit’s Car Sensor commercial.
It was performed at their 2017 solo concert at Saitama Super Arena and has since become a key song that fosters a strong sense of unity with the audience.
You and the windNaniwa Danshi
This is a liberating song that rides the refreshing summer breeze and dives into a free-spirited journey with friends.
The wind-themed lyrics describe the pleasure of being freed from the noise of everyday life by surrendering to the flow without setting a destination.
With casual conversations and laughter among friends as the background, the joy of cherishing the present moment is powerfully conveyed through the melody.
Included as the coupling track to the single “Koisuru Hikari,” released in August 2024, it also ties into the world of the film “Koi wo Shiranai Bokutachi wa,” starring Ryusei Onishi.
It’s the perfect song for times when you want to fully embrace freedom while feeling the wind—like on a summer drive or a trip with friends.

Unfading TemperatureKotoha
This song by Kotoha, who is active in the HoneyWorks project, features a gentle, translucent voice and delicate piano and string arrangements that tighten the chest.
The grand melody, carefully composed by MIMI, intertwines a bittersweet yearning to reclaim lost time and emotions with a hope that still strives to face forward.
Released in August 2024 and included on the mini-album “Autumn Vox,” it resonates deeply with many people, especially when paired with Kotoha’s emotionally rich vocals.
It’s a warm song that quietly stays by your side when you can’t tell anyone about your pain and feel like you might have to carry it all alone.
KittyTsumiki
A highly addictive rock tune that brilliantly balances a sense of speed with bittersweet emotion.
Originally written in 2023 for the mobile game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku,” it grabbed attention when its music video was released in April 2025.
It features edgy sound arrangements and a literary lyricism characteristic of Tsumiki.
The razor-sharp sounds keep surging in and sweep you away.
I think it resonates especially deeply when you’ve lost sight of the path you should take.
