It’s fun and delicious—you can even have too much.Lucky Kilimanjaro
This is a single released for streaming in January 2025, when Lucky Kilimanjaro—who champion the theme “Making every day around the world dance”—celebrated their 10th anniversary.
Capturing the raw frenzy of their live shows, the track features a comfortably funky rhythm that makes your body move on its own.
It was surprise-premiered at the Osaka stop of their tour, and the fan-participation concept of using audience-shot footage for the music video also made waves.
Packed with a message that wholeheartedly affirms the joys of everyday life, it’s a song you’ll want to hear especially when you’re worn out from overthinking.
Empty your mind and surrender to the music, and this dance number is sure to refresh you, body and soul.

It’s a cheering song that gently affirms the anxiety and impatience you feel while pursuing your dreams, yet also the strong will not to give up.
Included on the album “Kanjō Hyakkei,” released in August 2017, this track features a warm band sound whose words and melody reach straight to the heart.
It became a hot topic when Miho Takagi of speed skating listened to it as her pump-up song during the Pyeongchang Olympics in February 2018, and it spread as a song that gives many people a push forward.
True to wacci’s style, its everyday, empathetic message makes it perfect to give to a friend setting out on a new path at graduation or to teammates who have overcome frustration in their club activities.
It’s a song that helps you reaffirm the “precious things” that will support you in the life ahead.
Precious FeelingsRIEHATA
This exquisite ballad by RIEHATA—renowned worldwide as a choreographer—deliberately sets aside dance performance to convey emotion solely through her voice.
Released in August 2023 to coincide with her birthday, the song gently stands beside those carrying pain or loneliness, offering encouragement that says, “You’ll be okay.” It’s a tear-jerker that expresses gratitude to friends and family who are parting ways after graduation, and serves as a cheer for oneself embarking on a new path.
Song of DepartureMr.Children
This is the 31st single by Mr.Children, a band that has continued to lead the Japanese rock scene, released in October 2007.
It was selected as the theme song for the film “Sky of Love” and also used in an NTT East Japan commercial.
The song made a major impact, topping the Oricon weekly chart and ranking eighth on the year-end chart.
This work is a medium-tempo ballad filled with a warm cheer for those standing at a crossroads.
Its message—that hearts remain connected even when apart—arrives through Kazutoshi Sakurai’s delicate vocals and the gentle soundscape.
It’s a number we especially want to send to those approaching the milestone of graduation and preparing to take their next step.
Performed with the tender tones of a wind ensemble, it will envelop the entire venue in warmth and create a moving moment overflowing with tears and smiles.
I want to be right♡otonashi afu
An irresistibly addictive track that hammers home both the sweetness and the peril of “justice” with a blistering BPM 190 beat.
Created by Afu Otonashi, it debuted in December 2025 and appears as Episode 8 on Yuka Satoishi’s official compilation album Re: Magical Girl.
Beneath its poppy, magical-girl-inspired phrasing lies a weave of overadaptation to righteousness and the runaway urge for approval—sending chills the more you listen.
Savor the toxic tang that lurks behind the sweetness!

Chihiro Ichihara is a guitar-playing singer-songwriter based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture.
Since releasing “Tenohira” via digital distribution in 2020 and her first full-length album in 2021, she has steadily expanded her activities.
She continues to host her monthly solo live series, “Nangumi? Ichigumi!” and her thoughtful approach to nurturing her community—together with her fan name, “Ichigumi”—is also striking.
She’s an artist I’d recommend to anyone seeking down-to-earth lyrics that resonate with everyday scenes and emotions.

A Vocaloid track with a pop sheen and a poisonous bite—its exquisite sense of balance really shines.
It’s by Vocaloid producer Nanahoshi Orchestra and was released in December 2025 as the lead track from the album “LADY BUG.” The onomatopoeic hooks that stick in your head and the lyrics that sneak a gritty edge into their sweetness are striking.
It sets the feeling of being bound by other people’s words to a catchy melody.
Perfect for anyone who wants to think about self-expression and the desire to transform.
