Spoon's Curse r-906

This is an uncanny piece set in a seaside manor, spinning a sinister world.

Released by r-906 in November 2024, it features Hatsune Miku on vocals, and the story opens with the laughter of crows.

The protagonist is lured to a secret room on the mansion’s second floor.

Numbness gradually creeps into their limbs, their body stops responding, and screams echo from the dustbin.

Coupled with r-906’s distinctive sound design, it feels as if you’re being dragged into a nightmare.

A Vocaloid track you’ll want to put on repeat.

The Camellia Sasanqua InnEisaku Okawa

[With Large Lyrics] Sazanka no Yado [Recreation]
Sazanka no Yado EISAKU OKAWA

Allow me to introduce a masterpiece of enka that portrays a bittersweet love kept secret in the heart.

EISAKU OKAWA’s single, released in August 1982, is a moving work that overlays his feelings onto the camellia blooming in winter.

The lyrics by Osamu Yoshioka and the melody by Shosuke Ichikawa blend beautifully, delicately expressing the emotions of a man swayed by an unattainable love.

Four months after its release, the song entered the Oricon Top 10 for the first time and became one of Okawa’s signature pieces.

It sold a total of 1.

8 million copies and won the Long Seller Award at the 25th Japan Record Awards in 1983, also marking his first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Its evocative imagery that overlaps with Japan’s beautiful winter scenery, and a voice that holds both ache and warmth, make it a perfect choice for karaoke duets or for humming along while sharing fond memories.

Let me introduce a song by Junko Sakurada that beautifully captures springtime scenes with her gentle, translucent voice.

Released in February 1974, it features a strikingly pure, idol-like melody.

Through the motif of tricolor violets, it quietly tells of a first love and cherished memories.

The lyrics gracefully express the delicacy and fragility of budding feelings, resonating deeply with listeners.

The song reached No.

It was frequently featured on radio and TV music shows, and for many, it has become a memorable anthem of their youth.

I hope you can spend a heartwarming moment, listening to that nostalgic voice as you bask in the cheerful warmth of spring.

Sake, Tears, Men and Women “Eigo Kawashima” with Lyrics
Sake, Tears, Men and Women by Eigo Kawashima

This work carefully portrays how, when people can’t put the feelings they’ve locked away into words, men express their emotions through alcohol and women through tears.

It’s said that Eigo Kawashima composed the song at the age of 18 after observing people’s behavior.

Included on the album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and released in 1976, the piece was used in a Kizakura commercial and reached No.

9 on the Oricon weekly chart.

It’s a wonderful song you’ll want to hear again and again—highly recommended for humming along with friends or listening to while reminiscing about fond memories.

Cactus FlowerTulip

A poignant love song themed around parting and renewal with a loved one.

Sparked by a small incident one day, the girlfriend storms out of the room; from there, the lyrics delicately depict the scene of the room left behind and the man’s inner feelings.

Gentle lines evoke everyday images—the snowy view from the window, a half-knitted glove, laundry—rising vividly to the mind.

Released in February 1975, this work is cherished by many fans as one of Tulip’s signature songs.

It drew renewed attention as the theme song for the 1993 TV drama “Under One Roof,” making it widely known among younger generations as well.

Its beautiful melody, conveying both the pain of heartbreak and a sense of hope, carries a universal message that resonates with the heart.

It’s the perfect song for looking back on a bygone romance or deepening your feelings for someone special.

Sagittarius1000say

API, the vocalist of 1000say, is a multi-instrumentalist who also handles bass in the group, which champions a unique concept called “Next-Generation Fantasy” that fuses male–female twin vocals with electro sounds.

Launching their band activities with the first mini-album STARGAZER ORCHESTRA in 2008, they have continued to produce music energetically, releasing in 2011 their first full-length album APOLLON—an ambitious concept album themed on Greek mythology.

API’s soft, airy vocals form a striking contrast with MAN’s edgy singing, adding depth to their tracks.

In July 2011, they also performed at JAPAN EXPO 2011 in Paris, France, delivering a confident set before an audience of 8,000.

They are highly recommended for those who want to experience a distinctive world where digital and analog coexist.
