rainbowNEW!Masaki Suda
It’s a warm song that celebrates a deep bond with a partner.
It conveys gratitude to someone who accepts a tearful, fragile self, the small happiness that appears on the balcony in everyday life, and a vow to stay by each other’s side forever.
Chosen as the theme song for the film STAND BY ME Doraemon 2, released in November 2020, it surpassed 300 million streams in October 2022.
Heard in the gentle tones of a music box, it will be there for the moments when you want to reaffirm the bond with the one you love.
Hymn to Japanheretic
Gedo is a band that truly kicked off in 1973 under the leadership of guitarist Hideto Kano.
With their overwhelming explosive power on stage and rough, unruly playing that foreshadowed punk, they shocked the rock scene of the time.
This track is their landmark debut single, released in October 1973.
It slips in an iconic melody in the intro and turns patriotic language on its head to deliver a biting satire of the state—a song that’s pure rebellious spirit.
The piece also reads like a manifesto for their live-first ethos, and the following year they released the acclaimed live album “Gedo.” If you want to experience the roots of Japan’s hard rock—gritty, muscular, and message-driven—this is essential listening.
2 (feat. Lee Youngji)Gen Hoshino
Singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, whose talents are drawing attention as he thrives across a wide range of fields beyond music, has released a track featuring Korean rapper Lee Youngji on his first album in about six and a half years, Gen.
The sound is captivating, with Hoshino’s groovy production blending seamlessly with Lee Youngji’s rap.
The Tokyo nightscape shown in the music video feels like a shared inner landscape of the two, resonating amid the city’s lights and shadows.
This song stands out on the album slated for release in May 2025, and fans are still talking about the moment Lee Youngji made a surprise appearance to perform together at the Seoul stop of the Asia tour.
It’s a cool number, perfect for those solitary, late-night hours.

Rainbow StarDreaming
A poetic and slightly bittersweet song that layers fragile yet beautiful dreams and hopes onto a rainbow you can see but can’t grasp.
The gentle vocals of Dreaming and the grand orchestral arrangement softly wrap around the listener’s heart.
Used as an insert song in the film “Go! Anpanman: The Pyramid of the Rainbow,” released in August 1997, it adorned the moving final scene.
When you’re a little tired from your daily efforts or want to feel a sense of kindness, listening to it will surely cleanse your heart.
And when you hear it again as an adult, you may find yourself feeling it in a different way.
acting like a handsome guyIkuzo Yoshi
Ikuzo Yoshi is known for his versatile musicality that extends beyond enka to include even rap.
“Nimaime Kidori” is a single released in September 2025, and a long-awaited work that reunites him with his close ally, composer Makoto Sugimoto, for the first time in 13 years since 2012’s “Sono Mukashi.” It vividly portrays the raw, inescapably human clumsiness and bittersweet sorrow lurking behind a man who puts on airs and tries to look cool.
A masterpiece that conveys the astringency of life, its seasoned vocals resonate deeply in the heart.
Everyday lifeOfficial HIGE DANDism
In the days that pass as a matter of course, there are moments when anyone might suddenly feel, “I dread tomorrow.” This song by Official HIGE DANDism, a driving force in the J-pop scene, gently stays close to those restless feelings.
The lyrics portray the heart’s cries worn down by work and relationships, and a quiet despair toward things that can’t be changed.
Yet what makes this piece so affecting is that it isn’t merely dark.
Its calm, warm sound brings into focus the subtle kindnesses in everyday life and the fleeting moments of salvation, tightening the chest all the more.
Released in September 2023 as a double A-side single with “Chessboard,” it was written as the theme song for Nippon TV’s “news zero.” On nights when you can’t help but feel unbearably sad, why not sink into a sentimental moment with this song?
#2601Mr.Children
When it comes to Mr.
Children, their orthodox J-pop sound is what usually stands out, but they also have some hardcore tracks.
Among those, the one I especially recommend as a particularly difficult song is “#2601.” It spans a very wide range from mid1 C-sharp to high A-sharp, and on top of that, most of the chorus sits on high A-sharp.
What’s more, it’s not sung in falsetto, but in full-voice shouts, so unless your throat is exceptionally strong, it will be hard to pull off.
