Romeo and JulietNumber_i
This song starts with a cute-sounding intro, so compared to other Number_i tracks, it gives a different vibe.
The chorus is especially straightforward and is melodic rather than a rap.
The A section and rap parts are generally low—around A3 to E4, I think.
The highest notes go up to about D5, but low-voiced male singers don’t need to worry that it’s “too high to sing.” If you like rap styles, this is a track where you can enjoy both rap and melody, so definitely give it a listen!
LOTUSohashiTrio
This is a work by ohashiTrio, whose fantastical synthesizer tones lead listeners into another dimension.
After a quiet, gentle introduction, tight drums and a groovy band sound intertwine, pulling you headlong into the depths of the city night.
Lyricist micca weaves decadent, poetic images—worn back alleys and skinny cats—that feel like watching a single film.
Over the course of more than five minutes, jazz, rock, and soul blend naturally, gripping the listener’s heart and never letting go.
This track is the lead song from the 14th album, “This is music too,” released in February 2020.
On a night when you want to forget the everyday and immerse yourself fully in the world of music, this is one to press play on.

Romance and the AbacusRingo Sheena, Hikaru Utada
This song by Ringo Sheena and Hikaru Utada portrays the nobility of staying true to one’s convictions amid the gap between ideals and reality.
Its lyrics, which express the loneliness and inner conflict known only to those who strive for artistic heights through the words “romance” symbolizing passion and “abacus” signifying practicality, resonate deeply.
The track was included on the best-of album Newton no Ringo: Hajimete no Best Ban, released in November 2019.
The philosophical worldview woven by these two genius artists carries an unwavering sense of conviction.
ROLL CALLSuchmos
This song captivates many fans with its tense developments that evoke a scene from a spy movie.
The cool sound, marked by a striking contrast between silence and speed, makes you feel like the protagonist of a chase.
In the world envisioned by drummer OK’s lyrics, you can sense a heartfelt desire to confront solitude amid the bustle of the city and to affirm one’s own existence.
The track is included on the album THE ANYMAL, released in March 2019, and it also served as the ending theme for FM Yokohama’s program Tresen.
It’s the perfect companion for a nighttime drive on the Shuto Expressway—its thrilling groove is sure to lift your spirits.
Romantic Continentcozycozy
Cozycozy is a five-member twin-vocal band that’s steadily gaining popularity.
Their sound leans toward pop-infused rock and has been attracting dedicated Japanese rock fans.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Roman Continent.
The piece spans a fairly wide vocal range, but it doesn’t include phrases with rapid pitch jumps, so if you track the pitch carefully, scoring a perfect 100 is definitely achievable.
Add it to your repertoire, by all means.
LollipopRyuta Nakamura, Akihiro Yamada
Ryuuto Nakamura and Akihiro Yamada, core members of the up-and-coming, high-caliber group LIL LEAGUE, hail from Fukuoka Prefecture and were standout talents selected from “iCON Z,” the largest audition in LDH’s history with about 48,000 participants.
They made their major debut in January 2023 with the single “Hunter,” and won the New Artist Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards that same year.
In February 2024, they released the album “TRICKSTER,” continuing their rapid rise.
Devoted to music from a young age, Nakamura trained at the Avex Artist Academy Fukuoka since third grade, while Yamada, influenced by Michael Jackson in his childhood, has over a decade of dance experience—each bringing proven skills.
With strength in dance, vocals, and rap, these accomplished artists are ones to watch.

The track is a hip-hop number brimming with positive appeal, themed around a project with READYMADE designer Yuta Hosokawa.
