Brain Narcotics Remix feat. CHEHON, MAKA, Ku-Jun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keithRAY
RAY, a popular reggae singer from Osaka who flies around the country mainly in the Kansai area.
Armed with a distinctive voice you can recognize at once and lyrics that fully showcase his talent as a lyricist, he began venturing into hip-hop and MC battles from 2022, appealing to audiences beyond pure reggae fans.
His remix of the hit 2023 track “Nounai Mayaku” (Brain Narcotics) is set to drop in January 2025 and is making waves thanks in part to its star-studded guest lineup.
Built on a dancehall riddim that’ll get your body moving whether you like it or not, the remix offers a lavish taste of each MC’s skills.
If you take it on at karaoke, don’t go solo—get your crew hyped with you.
Check everyone’s vocal timbre and flow, divvy up the parts, and you’ll take the energy even higher!
Come back homeFUNKY MONKEY BΛBY’S
Don’t you ever find yourself longing for that simple warmth—the kind that makes you feel at ease the moment you come home? This new release from FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY’S is a pop ballad that gently wraps the listener’s heart, centered on themes of family renewal and bonds.
Within its heartrending melody lies a steady hope that helps you take a step toward tomorrow—it’s truly encouraging.
The song is included on the single scheduled for release in August 2025 and has been selected as the theme song for the drama “Good Evening, the Asayama Family.” When you’re feeling a bit worn out by daily life or want to express gratitude to someone important, listening to it will help you reconnect with your honest feelings.
DANGERMAZZEL
This work by the dance and vocal group MAZZEL, released in August 2025, blends Japanese aesthetics with street sounds, featuring unpredictable developments that are part of its appeal.
Its world combines a tension that slices through silence with a burning passion to face adversity, stirring the hearts of listeners.
It’s a cool dance tune perfect for those seeking thrill and excitement in everyday life.
It was selected as the ending theme for the information program “DayDay.” and became a hot topic.
Asymmetrynaniwa danshi
Since their debut, Naniwa Danshi has captivated many fans with their refreshing charm.
Featured on their ninth double A-side single released in September 2025, this track was chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Revenge Spy.” Its lyrics portray an imbalanced relationship where the heart and actions are at odds.
The emotional melody and the members’ expressive vocals create a world that anyone suffering from a helpless love will deeply relate to.
Good night, TaxiMON7A
This is MON7A’s debut single, released on August 7, 2025.
It’s been getting a lot of attention, with over 80,000 UGC posts on TikTok and reaching as high as No.
4 on the LINE MUSIC real-time chart! It has a very current vibe, so it’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to sing a trending song.
The vocals are delivered in a smooth, spoken-flow style, without any belted sections, so it’s relatively easy to sing.
Outside of the chorus, there are many spots where the words flow continuously.
If you sing each phrase carefully one by one—like stepping up a staircase—you’ll capture the smooth feel that suits this track.
Overall, if you forget to breathe, you’ll run out of air, so remember to take quick breaths in brief pauses! It’s under three minutes and quite short, so definitely try memorizing it!
Mr. Moonlightimase
This is the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” released on July 11, 2025.
It has a bit of a brisk tempo, so be sure to remember to take breaths between phrases.
Taking breaths will also help you lock into the rhythm of the song! In the chorus, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto, so aim to sing without straining.
When you lift your facial muscles, your eyebrows will probably lift on their own—how about you? That expression is actually important: with a blank face, you’ll never hit the right pitch, and it becomes harder to produce high notes or falsetto.
Raising your facial muscles also makes switching between chest and falsetto much easier, so try singing with the image of lifting your facial muscles and resonating from the top of your head!
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
LiSA’s Gurenge, which catapulted to fame thanks to the explosive success of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
The song’s appeal lies in its powerful vocals riding a rock sound over a wild beat.
That said, there are also quieter, pulled-back sections, so be sure to create clear contrast in dynamics—and in the explosive chorus, throw in everything you’ve got and sing with all your might!
