Solar RouteMaeda Jun, Yanaginagi
This is a collaborative work by Jun Maeda, who weaves moving stories, and Nagi Yanagi, whose voice is clear as the sky.
It was produced as an insert song to grace the 3.5-year anniversary event of the dramatic RPG “Heaven Burns Red.” The song carries deep affection and a straightforward wish to live alongside someone precious, sung over a soundscape as boundless as a blue sky.
When you want to overcome hardships, this music will lend you strength.
Titus GroanVelle Witch
This track sonically captures the decadent worldview portrayed in British Gothic novels.
Included on the self-produced demo tape “Blood Noblewoman,” released in November 1988, it spans over nine minutes and is suffused with a creeping sense of unease.
Over a rhythm carved by a weighty bass and powerful drums, Yukie Furutani’s vocals—marked by a distinctive vibrato—resound, further enhancing its mysterious allure.
The sound, imbued with a ritualistic solemnity, draws listeners deep into the heart of the story.
TATSUYATanaka Aimi
Aimi Tanaka is an enka singer known as the beloved disciple of Takashi Hosokawa.
She possesses a remarkably deep voice for someone in her early twenties, and on top of that, her expressive power is extraordinary.
She is undoubtedly expected to play a leading role in the future enka scene, yet she has also released many songs that are easy to sing.
Among them, the one you can especially expect to get the crowd going is “TATSUYA.” While the lyrics are sad, depicting a widow, the melody is powerful and still brings out a feminine quality, so you can expect it to be quite exciting.
It leans more toward kayōkyoku in style, and the absence of difficult pitch movements—such as the dramatic ups and downs often associated with kobushi—makes it notably easy to sing.
Twilight Make-Love CompanyKubota Makoto to Yūyake Gakudan
Makoto Kubota and the Sunset Gang brought a fresh breeze to Japan’s blues scene.
Their album “Sunset Gang” stands out among their work for its distinctly languid vibe.
The sound blends Americana with elements of reggae and Okinawan folk.
The melodies carry no heavy pressure, making it perfect as background music.
With seasoned musicians on board—Haroumi Hosono, for instance, contributes on bass and drums—the result is remarkably polished.
It’s a must-listen not only for blues fans but also for anyone curious about new sounds.
BirthNakajima Miyuki
This is a song by Miyuki Nakajima that gently encourages those who have decided to restart their lives and step into a future with a new partner.
Even if you have the strength to live on your own, it carries a warm message that life becomes richer when you walk together with someone.
The song was released in March 1992 as the theme for the film “Kiseki no Yama: Sayonara, Meiken Heiji,” and is also included on the album “EAST ASIA.” Its sweeping melody tenderly seeps into hearts hesitant to take a step forward due to past experiences, as if blessing a new love.
Doesn’t it feel like a future where you can affirm each other’s very existence is unfolding right before your eyes?
Tiger BoyHOKUTO
HOKUTO’s track “Tiger Boy,” notable for its funky band sound, is the lead song from the EP “LOVE PARADOX, LOVE MYSELF,” released in July 2025.
Written and composed by singer-songwriter Noboshi, the piece humorously portrays the hectic daily life of a pop star.
The lyrics are peppered with words that reflect HOKUTO’s own image, sure to make fans grin.
It’s a cool, slightly sexy track packed with all kinds of appeal.
Help meee!perumo
This is a work by Perumo that captivates with the unexpected charm of setting an urgent cry for help to a light, upbeat sound.
Released in July 2025, the piece features the UTAU voicebank Yakuon Hebo for the vocals.
Its comical yet wistful tone matches the song’s worldview perfectly.
The lyrics poignantly depict the frustration of a heart pushed to its limits whose SOS never reaches anyone—they really hit home.
It’s the kind of song you can’t help but project yourself onto.
It might just be the track that speaks for your feelings.
