An electro-swing style piece that instantly grabs the heart.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer nuyuri in November 2021, it was written specifically for the mobile game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” While the groove is upbeat, it carries a subtly shadowy atmosphere.
The lyrics, which project a heartfelt desire to “stay connected with you,” exude a bittersweet feeling.
It’s perfect for those who want to sing something stylish and cool.
Rollin' Rollin'ZUKA-RADERU
The three-piece rock band Zutto Kadareru from Sapporo, Hokkaido has sparked buzz with a new song they wrote in April 2025 as the opening theme for the nationwide tour “Junmai Daiginjo” by the comedy duo Ginshari.
Brimming with exhilarating drive, the track pairs its sound with lyrics that capture the emptiness of everyday life and feelings toward the repetitive days—words crafted by Takanobu Yoshida that also hint at hope beyond the end.
This special collaboration, realized in a milestone year marking the band’s 10th anniversary and the duo’s 20th, had its first on-air premiere on a TOKYO FM program on April 22, followed by the music video’s release on the official YouTube channel the next day.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those feeling worn down by daily life or seeking a force that compels them forward.
Rollin’Out feat. PlayssonJASMINE
JASMINE is a highly skilled singer-songwriter who has won popularity with her overwhelming vocal power rooted in R&B, soul, and gospel.
Her track “Rollin’ Out feat.
Playsson,” released in October 2024, is a slick, city-pop-inspired number where refined arrangements blend exquisitely with ’90s-style R&B elements—a stylish, bona fide killer tune that’s perfect for a night drive.
The groove-focused melodic lines are particularly challenging for those not used to them, and unlike typical J-pop, the boundaries between verse, pre-chorus, and chorus are quite ambiguous, flowing very seamlessly.
As a result, it takes solid technique to keep the performance from sounding flat.
