The track depicts both the exhilaration of being swept up in love and the poignant moment of snapping back to reality, drawing you in with its precarious balance.
Released as a single in August 2007, it also served as the opening theme for Iwate Menkoi TV’s “BEATNIKS.” It was later included on the album “TOKYO CITY RHAPSODY.” It’s a cool, mature number that’s perfect for a nighttime drive or for solitary contemplation.

1 on Billboard Japan’s Heatseekers Songs chart.
Even before his debut, in 2022, he was selected for Spotify’s “RADAR: Early Noise 2022,” spotlighting the next generation of artists, drawing significant attention to his talent.
His urban, mellow music is perfect as everyday background music, and he’s an artist we highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a comfortably chill time.
Mr./Ms. CocoonGenie High
This song takes the cocoon—an insect’s chrysalis—as its theme and sings about wanting to reclaim the flutter of a first love.
It has a cynical yet pop sensibility, and Ikkyu Nakajima’s vocals, combining sweetness and bite, deepen the world of the track.
Released in November 2020, it’s also included on the acclaimed album “Jenny Star.” Recommended for moments when you want to boost a sweet yet resilient sense of self-affirmation, or when you feel like immersing yourself in stylish, bittersweet pop.
The Shape of the HeartT-BOLAN
T-BOLAN has captured many hearts by singing about clumsy yet straightforward love.
This work is a gem of a ballad, featuring a bluesy melody crafted by guitarist Takashi Gomi and earnest lyrics by Arashi Moritomo.
The guitar’s desolate tone is striking.
The song voices the struggle of being swept up by society’s tides and changing because of it, as well as a strong resolve to protect what cannot be traded for money or fame.
This track was included as the B-side to the single “Sayonara kara Hajimeyou,” released in May 1992.
Since it wasn’t included on any original studio album, it truly is a hidden masterpiece known to those in the know.
When you’re worn out by the busyness of everyday life, it gives you the strength to reexamine your roots.
sceneHatsuboshi Academy Hiro Shinozawa
This is a song where the pauses are very important, and you should sing each phrase carefully, almost as if savoring it.
One of my students who’s really into First Star Academy loves this character and practiced a lot.
The key is not to rush—sing each word of the lyrics with intention.
When you sing, using a head-voice base brings out the right vibe.
The pitch right before the last chorus is slightly low, so be careful not to let your pitch drop.
Since the song is generally head-voice based, keeping that mindset and sending a steady stream of air forward will make the low notes easier to produce.
Rather than changing your singing style, focus on engaging the vocal folds and using your breath well.
For those not used to singing, the relaxed melody makes it easier to practice because you can take slower breaths!
