Solar WindPerfume
Perfume’s “Solar Wind” is a track released in 2025, included on the album “Nebula Romance: Part II.” The sound is digitally driven in a way that feels quintessentially Perfume, and its near-futuristic vibe conveys a sense of moving forward.
As the title suggests, the lyrics evoke outer space, and the imagery of heading into the distance also expresses a positive, forward-looking attitude.
It was also used as the theme song for a Gundam card game commercial, which further reinforces that sense of optimism.
so….D’ERLANGER
This is a D’ERLANGER track notable for its gothic, decadent atmosphere.
It’s one of the songs included on their first major-label album, Basilisk, released in March 1990, and kyo’s languid vocals convey the protagonist’s emotions as they waver within a fleeting, precarious relationship.
The sense of nihilism and impatience lurking beneath the beauty is sure to deeply move listeners.
In 2010, it was re-recorded for their self-cover collection a Fabulous Thing in Rose.
How about giving it a careful listen on a night when you want to step away from everyday life and sink into a slightly sentimental mood?

SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This song was written as the main theme for the film Solanin, starring Aoi Miyazaki and Kengo Kora.
Released in March 2010, the film also drew attention for being the first ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION song with lyrics penned by someone outside the band.
Contrary to the glittering image often associated with youth, it portrays anxieties about the future and the pain of parting.
Yet it doesn’t simply sink into sorrow; its strength in affirming farewells and facing forward is deeply moving.
The fact that it topped a fan poll in September 2013 is proof that this work has resonated with many people.
SO BAD BOYBY-SEXUAL
This is BY-SEXUAL’s major-label debut track, brimming with rebellious spirit that flips the bird at society’s rules.
Released in February 1990.
Its raw punk sound perfectly matches lyrics about tearing through the streets at full blast without caring if people call you a delinquent.
The urge to break through a sense of stagnation and to push back against something is a feeling everyone’s had at some point.
If you’re fed up with the constraints of everyday life, listening to this song and letting your emotions run free might be just what you need to face tomorrow with a clearer head.
doppelgängerPhantom Seater
What would you do if a counterfeit showed up and copied your entire way of life? This song by Phantom Sita is a dark pop track packed with searing anger toward someone who threatens your very existence, and a heartbreaking cry of “Don’t interfere with my life that’s mine alone!” It’s included on the single “Suki, Kirai,” released in July 2025.
Dive into this eerie yet uplifting, strangely captivating music!
distress (at sea/in the mountains); being lost; stranded; a disaster situationTokyo Incidents
Tokyo Jihen is a band that continues to attract fans with its stylish yet decadent musicality.
They have many famous songs, but the one I particularly recommend is Sounan (Distress).
Released barely a month after their debut single, Gunjo Biyori, this track gained popularity in the Japanese rock scene.
While it has a rock-oriented sound, it exudes an even more decadent atmosphere than its predecessor.
Accordingly, the vocals have a downbeat quality throughout, with gentle rises and falls in pitch.
The vocal range is also quite narrow, from mid2A to hiD#, so for women in their 30s, it’s almost a sure bet for scoring high at karaoke.
Blooming/laughing in the skyProject Lumina
While grappling with inner conflict, one begins to notice the small glimmers of everyday life—a duet song by Project Lumina that portrays such emotional growth.
Released in August 2023, this Vocaloid track features the moving voices of Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto.
Many listeners may relate to the protagonist, who dreams of dramatic turns yet finds themself amid ordinary days.
If you sing it when you’re unsure of who you are now, it will surely give you the courage to take a step toward tomorrow.
Sing it with hope for the future.
