TOGENEW!AKASAKI
Singer-songwriter AKASAKI quickly rose to prominence from acoustic performance posts on TikTok, with “Bunny Girl” climbing to No.
6 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 in October 2024.
His 16th single, released in September 2025, is a down-to-earth love song that channels the contradictions of romance and miscommunication into the word “thorn.” It portrays the aching pull of attraction that persists despite jumbled emotions and a defensive coolness, fusing the wordcraft he has honed since high school with an irresistibly catchy melody.
Blending a fresh sensibility befitting a current university student with classic J-pop essentials, his music is poised to resonate not only with his peers but across generations.
We can’t help but look forward to AKASAKI’s first appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen, as he continues to achieve remarkable results at an unprecedented pace for an artist who emerged from social media.
Tokimeki DiaryNEW!Dream Ami
Released for streaming in September 2025, it reportedly samples and uses the memorable chorus lyrics and melody from E-girls’ classic “Anniversary,” and is crafted with themes of “nostalgia” and “the connection between past, present, and future.” It’s a must-listen for fans! It’s sung mostly in a head voice, so it’s a bit high, but the range isn’t very wide, making it a good pick for those comfortable with higher notes.
The tempo isn’t fast, which is nice because you can take a breath at each phrase and sing calmly.
The ad-lib at the beginning uses easily pronounced words, so if you project your voice well there, it should help you keep singing comfortably throughout!
O time, stopNEW!ILLIT
Since their 2024 debut, ILLIT, the Korean girl group that has been sweeping newcomer awards and gaining attention with “Almond Chocolate,” the theme song for the film I Won’t Fall for Just a Pretty Face, has been in the spotlight.
Their first single in Japan paints, in Japanese, the delicate feelings of a girl swaying at summer’s end.
Shigon’s lyrics are sprinkled with seasonal words like osmanthus and sunflower, and they express a wish to hold on to moments that you don’t want to let pass.
It’s a number that should land vividly even with listeners hearing it for the first time on the Kouhaku stage.

Included on the EP Madaramoyou released in January 2024, this song is a chilldspot number brimming with seasonal atmosphere that portrays solitude and yearning through the motif of a lone wolf lost on a winter morning.
Hiyune’s clear, translucent vocals delicately capture the emotions swaying between loneliness and bravado.
The lyrically rich arrangement co-written by vocalist Hiyune and Reyama, together with lyrics that evoke wintry scenery, brilliantly translates the feel of winter air into sound.
It’s a perfect track for lonely winter nights or for seasons spent holding feelings for someone.

party (as in the party concerned; stakeholder)NEW!EGOIST

It’s by EGOIST, the music unit born from the anime Guilty Crown.
The song is produced by ryo of supercell, with vocals by chelly.

Trigger Finger!!!NEW!Rina Takizaki (CV: Akeno Watanabe)
Isn’t the hard-hitting beat and razor-sharp guitar riff insanely aggressive and cool? It’s an insert song played in the TV anime PSYCHO-PASS, composed by Yugo Kanno, who also handles the score.
The track was included on the album PSYCHO-PASS Complete Original Soundtrack, released in May 2013.
Featuring the shouts of in-story singer Rina Takizaki (voiced by Akeno Watanabe), the lyrics are striking as they cry out to shatter the mask that symbolizes society’s deceit.
The way the characters’ inner conflicts are distilled into the music is, as expected, masterful.
If you listen to it when you want to break through your current situation, it’s sure to give you a push forward.
