KAZUKI, a member of the hip-hop group DOBERMAN INFINITY, released the track Wow under his name.

It serves as the lead single from his first solo album, I.

It’s a mellow R&B song that sings about a mature romance on a certain night.

The lyrics start from the moment the two meet, so I hope you enjoy it as if you were watching a drama.

It also seems perfect to play when you want to create a romantic mood.

Miso soup and butterReira Shio

Reira Shio / Miso Soup and Butter [Official Music Video] TV Anime 'Days Pass, Yet Meals Are Delicious' Ending Theme

This is a cheerful song that reminds us that the unremarkable, ordinary days are what happiness is.

It’s a work by Tokyo-born singer-songwriter Shio Reira, released in October 2023.

Being able to be with someone you love can feel blissful at first, but over time you get used to it, don’t you? Listening at a moment like that might really jolt you awake.

Though it has a bright tone, it actually seems to get at some pretty profound truths.

It’s a message song that can give you energy.

This song, sung by singer-songwriter Shota Shimizu, tells the story of a one-sided love set in summer.

As the title “More than friends” suggests, the boy in the lyrics has fallen for a girl who’s his friend.

They’re very close and naturally spend a lot of time together, but he’s the only one who’s aware of her as the opposite sex.

That’s why being together makes his chest ache, and even if he wants to confess his feelings, he doesn’t think he can express them well.

It’s a heartbreakingly helpless kind of love that really hits home.

I imagine quite a few people struggled with something similar back in their school days.

Mukasetsu & Inman – As You Are (Prod. @thekontrabandz)

Mukade & Inman is a hip-hop duo formed by next-generation artists.

They’ve gained support for their style that portrays love and life in a real, down-to-earth way.

Their heartbreak song “Kimi no Mama (Prod.

@thekontrabandz)” depicts a couple’s changing relationship and the desire to stay the same.

With the two trading verses and their uniquely rhythmic flows, it’s a highly engaging piece.

Touch my heart has been drawing attention as the theme song for the drama “I Inherited a Host Club.” It’s a track sung by model and singer Hana Ishikawa.

While she has previously produced many ballads that straightforwardly express love, this time—aligned with the drama’s story—she’s crafted lyrics and a sound with a more mature vibe.

That said, since the song portrays a woman’s feelings in love, fans of her earlier work are sure to enjoy it as well.

It’s also recommended for those who like Eurobeat.

The title track of their 1st single, “NAME,” was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses.

The ensemble, featuring a fresh, vibrant guitar sound, creates a perfect contrast with the transparent vocals that carry a mature air.

It’s a refreshing pop tune whose driving beat lifts your spirits.

First anniversary

Singer-songwriter Wataru Ochiai has been gaining attention for his lyrics that depict the unassuming yet irreplaceable themes found in everyday life.

His track “Hajimete no Kinenbi,” released digitally on December 10, 2023, opens with a lyrical guitar riff that lingers in your ears.

A relationship where you can confidently say you love both the good and the bad might not be extraordinary, but rather one where every day shines like an anniversary.

Set to a gentle melody over a relaxed shuffle beat, it’s a heartfelt love song that warmly embraces the listener.
