Rainbow-Colored WarSEKAI NO OWARI
In contrast to its pop, slightly fantastical sound, this song by SEKAI NO OWARI pierces with a biting message.
From the perspective of small creatures like flowers and insects, the work exposes the deceit behind the “peace” and “freedom” proclaimed by humans.
The theme of the “invisible war” we join without noticing—or pretend not to notice—is quintessentially SEKAI NO OWARI.
The track appears on EARTH, a landmark indie-era album released in April 2010.
It’s a song that makes you realize that our ordinary, everyday lives may be built upon someone else’s sacrifice.

Koenjihyakkei, led by drummer and composer Tatsuya Yoshida.
The title track of their album Nivraym, released in Japan in 2001, would later earn high acclaim overseas as well.
Grounded in the French-derived musical aesthetic known as Zeuhl, their sound fuses jazz sophistication with hardcore urgency—truly overwhelming in the best sense.
The labyrinthine song structures, rife with irregular time signatures, and the majestic, operatic choral exchanges create a sensation of being drawn into another dimension.
Sung in a fictional language, the piece transcends literal meaning to evoke ancient rituals and grand narratives, stirring the listener’s imagination.
Put it on when you want to surrender yourself to a torrential flood of sound brimming with overwhelming detail.
Song of the Old Man of Nishi-ShinjukuTsuyoshi Nagabuchi
This is a deeply human song that portrays the life of a bar owner in Nishi-Shinjuku—awkward in some ways, yet unwavering in his principles.
The father’s oft-repeated catchphrase may inspire some listeners to live fully in the present so they won’t look back with regret.
Released on the August 1990 album “JEEP,” the track was also used as an insert song in the drama “From the North Country ’92: Departure.” For those standing at a crossroads in life or hesitating before a new challenge, it carries a warm yet powerful message that gently, firmly nudges you forward.

The irresistible, bewitching charm with a hint of shadow in Sora Tomonari’s work is captivating.
The sound, where Japanese taste and Western ambience blend exquisitely, feels like being invited into a world of Taisho Romanticism, and you can’t help but be drawn in as you listen.
The lyrics portray an irresistible infatuation with a dangerously alluring “bep-pin-san” (a stunning beauty), along with a nerve‑wracking game of cat and mouse as you try to gauge the other person’s feelings.
Many listeners will find themselves nodding along, thinking, “I know exactly how that feels!” This is the fourth digital single, released in May 2024, and it was also selected for J-WAVE’s SONAR TRAX.
If you sing it at karaoke while exuding a mysterious mood, that special someone might not be able to take their eyes off you.
The Little MermaidMaiko Fujita
This is a famous song by Maiko Fujita that sings about the real pain of love, inspired by the motif of a sorrowful princess from a fairy tale.
Even though she fell in love first, her feelings never reach him, and she wishes for his happiness as her love dissolves like bubbles—such self-sacrificing affection tightens your chest, doesn’t it? With a passionate, Latin-influenced sound that sets it apart from conventional piano ballads, it feels as if it expresses the fierce emotions hidden within.
Included on the October 2021 album “Wasurerarenai Hito” (The One I Can’t Forget), this song will surely resonate deeply with anyone experiencing a devoted, heartrending love—wishing for the happiness of the one they love, even knowing it won’t be returned.
NEW YEAR’S EVEShogo Hamada
A classic ballad by singer-songwriter Shogo Hamada that portrays the gentle parting of two people who have been together for many years.
You can almost see the scene of a New Year’s Eve night when, caring for each other yet choosing different paths for the sake of their respective futures, they decide to part ways.
Listening to this song, some may quietly reflect on a past farewell and wonder, “Did that decision allow us both to take a new step forward?” The track was included on the album FATHER’S SON, released in March 1988, and was later self-covered by Hamada.
For those who have had to make a painful choice, this song may feel like one that gently embraces that decision and gives you the strength to look ahead—an intimate companion to the heart.
