regolithBCNO
Even amid the anxious fear of losing, they refuse to let go of that one true light.
It’s a rock number whose desperate cry grabs you by the chest.
Created by Vocaloid producer BCNO and released in September 2025.
Written for singer Yuki Yumeno, it’s included on the mini-album “All You Need Is Ordinaries.” With razor-sharp guitars and a tight, driving rhythm, the sound is seriously addictive! As you listen, you’re pulled deeper into its prickling tension and story until you can’t escape.
It’s a stunning piece where the protagonist’s emotions—facing pain and emptiness while reaching for hope—merge with the song’s dramatic development.
When you feel crushed by unbearable anxiety, this track will surely help you through.
rayMotoo Fujiwara
Motoharu Fujiwara, the vocalist of the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN—known for their highly narrative world-building that resonates with many listeners—was born in Akita City, Akita Prefecture.
He writes and composes nearly all of the band’s songs, and their distinctive musicality has won widespread support.
After starting out independently in 1999, the band went on to rack up hits, and in 2013 they dominated the charts with two best-of albums.
They have won numerous awards, including at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC AWARDS, and their richly narrative songs have resonated with many visual works, such as anime theme songs.
Their creative style of waiting for the moment a song is born may be what leads to universally affecting songs that speak straight to the heart.
Fujiwara’s voice—ranging from urgent high tones to gentle whispers—could be called the beating heart of the band.
Let’s take it somedayONE OK ROCK
The piece “Let’s take it someday,” included on the 2011 album Zankyō Reference.
While ONE OK ROCK often leans heavily into emo and hardcore elements, this track stands out for its catchy, quintessential J-rock melody.
Despite its fairly wide vocal range from mid1 D# to hi D#, the pitch movement is surprisingly gentle.
If you carefully adjust the key and decide whether to glide through the high phrases in falsetto or tackle them with mixed voice, it’s not an especially difficult song to sing.
lemonadeSarii
How about an instrumental that adds a fresh, slightly bittersweet touch to vlogs and everyday life footage? Created by Japanese sound creator Sarii, this piece captures a sparkling sensation—like sipping a sweet-and-tangy soda—translated into sound.
As the artist describes it as “sour yet sweet,” the bright melodies played by high bells and piano are sure to lift your mood.
Released in April 2025, the track, like Sarii’s other works Butterfly Pea and start, shines with an arrangement that complements visuals.
It doesn’t overstate itself, yet leaves a distinct impression, making it perfect for stylishly elevating a lazy weekend morning or casual conversation scenes with friends.
Regulus RebellionRen
This is a Vocaloid tune that pulls you into a simmering tension.
It’s a track by Ren, the Vocaloid producer who also created “Mind Castle,” released in August 2025.
Within its dark, frigid soundscape, the clear, pristine voice of CeVIO AI Seikai rings out like a ray of light.
The dramatic progression of the sound—racing from stillness to searing passion—just draws you in.
The lyrics convey a noble yet fierce resolve, as if vowing rebellion against an oppressive world.
Highly recommended when you want to break through a sense of stagnation.
RenegadesONE OK ROCK
It’s a grand piece written as the theme song for the film Rurouni Kenshin: The Final.
Released by ONE OK ROCK in April 2021, it’s also included on the album Luxury Disease.
The track has been crafted as an anthem for “rebels” who refuse to settle for the status quo and choose to raise their voices.
The strong resolve that vocalist Taka infused—“staying the same is absolutely not an option”—comes through directly in his emotional delivery.
Co-written with Ed Sheeran, its weighty rock sound and gripping melodies are another key draw.
It’s a powerful rock tune that gives a firm push when you want to change something or stand by your own sense of justice.

'LEMON MELON COOKIE' feat. Hatsune MikuTAK
TAK is a rookie Vocaloid producer from South Korea.
Although he debuted in 2024, he has a fairly extensive music background thanks to making K-pop mashups.
Among TAK’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “LEMON MELON COOKIE” feat.
Hatsune Miku.
It features Japanese lyrics and a chorus characterized by an addictive, repetitive phrase.
Because the chorus repeats, it isn’t particularly difficult pitch-wise, but there are very few rests, so be sure to take a good breath before you start singing.
