Chase the ShineSPYAIR
SPYAIR’s “Chase the Shine,” released in 2025, is a track that exudes the momentum of charging straight toward the goal.
It opens with a section centered on electric guitar and vocals, then gradually builds toward the chorus, conveying a sense of power being unleashed.
The lyrics depict steadily working toward the finish line and the determination to run through, giving listeners a strong push forward.
The song was also used in a boat racing commercial, effectively highlighting the energy and strength of the visuals.
Chasing ShadowsASYLUM
It’s a song that depicts a sense of urgency and emptiness, like relentlessly chasing a shadow that stretches on forever.
Over a hard, tight beat, Gazelle’s vocals—both the purely aesthetic singing and the morose shouts—leave a powerful impression.
This worldview, where punk’s raw impulse coexists with a decadent beauty, may well have been the source of what later came to be called the visual-kei scene.
The track is included on the album Crystal Days, released in June 1987, which was so popular it topped Japan’s indie charts at the time.
If you listen to it while grappling with a nebulous anxiety about the future, its searing passion will pierce straight into your heart.
Cheerful Vibes Echo (Kanade Otonose SOLO)ReGLOSS
A catchy pop number that blows away the Monday blues at the start of the week.
It’s a solo track by Kanade Otonose from the VTuber group ReGLOSS, and just as the creators describe it as a “cheer song that sends you off every morning with a bright smile,” it’s filled with warmth.
The lyrics, which affirm that “the direction you’re facing is what’s ahead,” are like a sunflower turning toward the sun.
Listen to it on mornings when you’re starting something new or whenever you need a boost, and it’s sure to lift your spirits!
Chasing destinyHaruhi Suzumiya (Aya Hirano)
This is a song born from a promotional project for the novel “The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya.” Its exhilarating, fast-paced rock sound perfectly matches the powerful resolve in the lyrics to seize the future with one’s own hands.
It’s not just a pep song; it also carries a warmth that feels like someone running alongside you, saying, “I’ve been watching your efforts all along.” It’s a positive track that fills you with boundless courage when you’re about to take a new step or chasing dreams with dear friends.
Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima
Miyuki Nakajima’s classic “Chijō no Hoshi” has earned support across a wide range of generations.
While the song is memorable for its incredibly powerful, almost growling vocals, the actual pitch movement isn’t that extreme.
The vocal range is compact, from mid1F to hiA#, and at BPM 100 the tempo is also relaxed.
Even so, the song achieves that level of impact not only through Nakajima’s singing style but also thanks to its strong composition.
Adding a shout at the opening lines brings you closer to the intensity of the original, so if you want to really heat up the karaoke room, try incorporating shouts and give it a shot.
ChainsBEAST (HIGHLIGHT)
An ambitious work, as member Lee Gikwang says it will “show a new side of the group”! From the very start, the jazzy clarinet resonates, crafting a sophisticated, adult mood in this hip-hop tune.
The lyrics, which depict a resolve to move toward the future while reaffirming an unbreakable bond with fans amid the border between reality and fantasy, are truly stirring.
This track is included on the mini-album “From Real to Surreal,” released in April 2025.
It’s a milestone album that proudly revives the name “BEAST” for the first time in nine years, and this song, as the title track, symbolizes their fresh new beginning.
Whether you want to soak in a stylish sound or need courage to take on a challenge, listening to it will surely give you a push.
cherrySpitz
Formed in 1987, the rock band Spitz released their seventh album, Indigo Chiheisen, in 1996, right as their popularity peaked.
Though it went on to become a million seller, it was actually created amid a relentless schedule, and that sense of urgency is woven into the work.
It’s no wonder the members call it their “most memorable” album.
The dry, clear-eyed worldview Masamune Kusano expressed—“standing barefoot on the ground, gazing straight at the horizon”—runs through the entire record.
Beyond the pop appeal of the massive hits Cherry and Nagisa, you also glimpse the band’s raw, early rock impulse and their psychedelic side, making it a deeply flavorful classic.
If you want to feel the blue-flame passion that defines Spitz as a band, this might be the perfect album for you.
