Performed by members aged 16 and under dressed in adorable pink and frilly outfits, this track is a B-side included on the Type D [First Press Limited Edition] of the single “NO WAY MAN,” released in November 2018.

Sung by the special unit U-16 Selection 2018, it’s a poppy and cute song that perfectly expresses a love for the twin-tail hairstyle adored by mass-produced-style girls.

Its bright, upbeat rhythm and fresh, innocent vocals are charming and uplifting just by listening.

Highly recommended for those who love cute things or are looking for a fresh idol song!

The Second-to-Last Love SongShinnosuke

Kokoronoshin – The Second-to-Last Love Song (Official Music Video)
The Second-to-Last Love Song by Shinnosuke

This song centers on a bittersweet, real-life-inspired re-confession.

Released in July 2015 as Shinnosuke’s first solo digital single, it conveys regret over a past romance and the longing to win back that love.

Vivid scenes—stars seen from a loft window, two people sleeping within an almost touchable distance—are interwoven throughout, resulting in a work where a melodious track and emotionally rich lyrics blend beautifully.

The song is also included on the first full album, HOPE, and is one you’ll want to hear if you’ve experienced heartbreak or want to reexamine your relationship with someone important.

ELLEGARDEN’s “Salamander” was released as a single in 2006 and is also included on the album ELEVEN FIRE CRACKERS.

The vocals unfold from a flat, almost spoken delivery into a chorus that mixes in higher notes, and the powerful sound that overlaps with this progression conveys a strong sense of momentum.

The overall sonic atmosphere also feels energetic, with a playing style that emphasizes a rough, forceful intensity, which is a key appeal.

Strongly accentuating the choppy guitar at the beginning may also be a point that boosts the drive of the entire track.

The Last Suppermouse on the keys

Beginning with a serene piano melody and overwhelming the listener with complex rhythmic structures that employ irregular meters and polyrhythms, this is one of mouse on the keys’ signature tracks.

Their unique sound—fusing post-rock, jazz, and minimal music—unfolds like a narrative, culminating in a tense climax driven by the interplay of fierce drums and weighty piano.

Released in 2007 as the opening track of the EP “Sezession,” it was also featured in a commercial for Shiseido’s cosmetics brand MAQuillAGE.

It’s ideal as background music for tasks that require concentration, and its intricate structure and dynamic development reveal something new with every listen.

Goodbye OceanKiyotaka Sugiyama

Goodbye Ocean (Album Version) (2022 Remaster)
Goodbye Ocean Sugiyama Kiyotaka

Kiyotaka Sugiyama is a key figure you can’t leave out when talking about Japanese AOR and city pop.

In his early days he leaned toward rock, but later he grew interested in R&B and soul, which led him to sing city pop that suited his vocal range.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is Sayonara no Ocean.

It features a characteristically city-pop, expansive vocal line, but the melodic contours are gentle, so as long as you find the right key, anyone can sing it with ease.
