QUE,QUE,QUE,Kaja
Formed in 1984, the Osaka reggae band Kaja & Jammin’ boasts a long career.
This track is from their 2004 release SECRET.
Based on one of the genre’s styles, roots rock reggae, it blends a distinctly Japanese catchiness with an effortless soulfulness that’s seriously cool.
The addition of saxophone lends a moody vibe, too.
The light, snappy rhythm feels great—paired with a touch of melancholy, it’s a sound you’ll want to spin on repeat.
QUEENKanaria
A cool dance tune that lets you savor both swagger and fear at the same time! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria, also known for songs like “Envy Baby” and “EYE,” released in 2022.
It’s by no means a song with a lot of notes, yet it doesn’t feel lacking in the slightest.
The sound work makes you think “this is exactly what it needs,” and it’s jaw-dropping.
The build-up leading into the chorus really gets the energy up, too! It’s also fun to look for connections with Kanaria’s other songs, such as “KING,” where the contrast in the title is particularly effective.

Released in 2024, “Sora-uta (feat.

The song portrays a deep sense of loneliness, unfinished emotions, and the aching feeling of continuing to think about someone, yet it sweeps away the vague anxieties that can arise even after mutual feelings are confirmed.
The courage to keep singing toward the night sky carries the message that hearts remain together even when apart.
It’s especially recommended for those who want to cherish time with their partner or bravely convey their feelings to someone special.
