Even when we're apartWANIMA
Hanarete Itemo (Even When We’re Apart), included on the single Chopped Grill Chicken released in 20221, is a track well known among fans as the song that closed out WANIMA’s 2021 live tour.
True to WANIMA’s style and rich in message, it’s, as the title suggests, a perfect fit for farewell moments.
It might be nice to sing it for someone you’ll be separated from for various reasons—graduation, a job transfer, moving, and so on.
There aren’t many high notes; try powering through the song while keeping its brisk pace intact.
RICHMAN feat. VIGORMANWILYWNKA
This is a track by WILYWNKA, a leading figure of the new generation in Japanese rap.
The lyrics, centered on views about money and the pride he carries, leave a strong impression.
Despite its relaxed tempo, the powerful beat feels great, offering a mellow and stylish sound.
It’s included on the album “90’s Baby,” released on May 8, 2024, and the collaboration with VIGORMAN is another highlight.
Singing about a hip-hop dream he seized with his own hands, this song is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the appeal of the new wave of Japanese rap.

If you want to hear a hard rock tune sung by MEIKO, this is the track for you.
It’s a song released in 2019 by Vocaloid producer Minus-P under the name WONDERFUL☆OPPORTUNITY!.
The gritty guitar riffs and powerful drums hit like a wall of sound.
MEIKO’s mature vocals fit perfectly, too.
The lyrics’ strong message—“Show your true self!”—is encouraging.
It’s a Vocaloid song that fires you up the moment you listen.
Little MixWings
“Little Mix” is often used in self-introduction videos to create a cool vibe.
It’s a track by the British girl group Little Mix, notable for its fast-paced sound and powerful vocals.
The lyrics depict a woman who says goodbye to someone who hurts her and pursues her own happiness.
In addition to its very positive message, the rhythm is easy to sync with video, which is likely another reason it’s so popular.
RYDEENYellow Magic Orchestra
Some people may feel uncomfortable discussing YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra) under the umbrella of fusion, but the obi strip on the analog release of their 1978 self-titled debut album actually listed the genre as fusion.
Add to that guitarist Masayoshi Takanaka’s participation in the recordings of Tong Poo and Cosmic Surfin’, as well as Yukihiro Takahashi’s background with the Sadistics, and it seems there was a period when they were understood in that context for various reasons.
In any case, as pioneers of technopop whose innovative music fused a wide range of genres, perhaps YMO truly should be called “fusion” in the literal sense.
It’s fascinating that digging into Japanese jazz fusion inevitably leads you to YMO.

Living Deadamazarashi
“Living dead” is a term you often hear in zombie movies.
It means people who keep moving even after death, but by extension it’s also used to describe people who are alive yet completely lifeless.
Lyrics that say something like “Even if it’s wrong or pointless, keep living and move forward” are deeply stirring.
Some of the music videos are labeled “Censorship Lifted,” which is kind of scary.
