ReplayMr.Children
Known by the abbreviation “Misuchiru” and now a monster band so famous that virtually no one in the J-pop scene hasn’t heard of them, Mr.
Children.
Their third single, “Replay,” which was used as the theme song for Glico’s Pocky commercial, makes a strong impact thanks to an arrangement crafted with the commercial in mind.
The lyrics portray the often negatively perceived lull in a relationship in a positive light, which, together with the refreshing melody, is sure to stir the heart.
It’s a hidden gem from the 1990s that captures Mr.
Children before they became widely known.
LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE
Among Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs—often associated with a bright, upbeat image—Loneliness stands out with a distinctly dark tone.
The lyrics open by depicting a sense of despair with the world, but in the next verse the singer confesses a single ray of hope: “I want to keep loving you.” For the protagonist, this love is the only reason to live.
While it might seem like an overwhelmingly heavy feeling at first glance, it may well be the truest emotion overflowing from within him.
It feels imbued with a heartfelt wish to love someone and share an ordinary life together.
REVERSEMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s masterpiece “REVERSE,” released in 2018.
While Mrs.
GREEN APPLE often delivers bright and refreshing songs, this work is characterized by a somewhat darker message and melody.
The vocal line follows suit, resulting in a calmer delivery.
As a result, the trademark high notes typical of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE appear very little.
Among their songs, this one has one of the narrowest vocal ranges, so be sure to check it out.
Risky gameMrs. GREEN APPLE
Risky Game, included on their third mini-album Variety, which marked their major-label debut.
The song was reportedly written around the time the band formed, and it’s a great reminder of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s boundless flair.
While the overall key is high, the range isn’t very wide, so even if it doesn’t match your natural key, you can adjust it to make it easier to sing.
However, because it features complex melodies that fit the ensemble and even changes time signature mid-song, make sure you thoroughly learn the structure before singing it at karaoke.
RITUALNECRONOMIDOL
An idol group whose catchphrase is “I’ll stop your breathing!” Based in Tokyo and performing overseas as well, they embrace a dark-idol concept centered on horror and black metal.
Their sound—black metal, post-black, darkwave, and NWOBHM—genres not often heard in the J-pop scene, gives them a truly unique presence.
Despite the gloomy worldview, their idol-like, cute vocals paradoxically heighten the sense of fear, further evolving a uniquely Japanese fusion of idols and metal.

Released digitally in August 2024, it was also selected as the theme song for a commercial by the SaaS company HENNGE.

Its powerful message, encouraging self-realization and forward-looking change, is sure to give a push to anyone ready to take a new step.
