Ultra Trailermasalada
A work marked by a sense of speed and an energetic sound.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Masalada, released in November 2023.
With a whirlwind, movie-trailer-inspired progression and Kasane Teto’s powerful vocals, it draws listeners right in.
Highlights of the MV include chaotic, humorous scenes like a giant Teto destroying the city and baguettes raining from the sky.
The lyrics carry a message about cutting ties with lingering regrets of the past and charging toward the future.
I think it’s perfect for pumping everyone up at school festivals or cultural festivals!
To the seaCentimillimental
Created as an insert song for the animated film “Given: Umi e” (Given: Into the Sea), this piece is a gemlike love song that delicately portrays memories and parting, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by Centimillimental’s Atsushi.
It weaves together the loneliness of growing distant from someone you love, the bittersweet ache of recalling them, and the desire not to forget—rendered as universal emotions that feel like experiences shared by everyone.
The song is included on the album “for GIVEN,” released in February 2025.
It’s a track that will resonate with anyone who thinks of someone dear and wishes to preserve those memories forever.
Melancholy Cherry Blossomsbeautiful night
Atoyoi’s graduation ballad beautifully portrays the feeling of wishing to reunite someday in the same place, while savoring familiar scenery and bittersweet memories.
It expresses the emotion of how an ordinary spring landscape suddenly feels special as the moment of parting draws near, through a gentle melody and emotionally rich lyrics.
Released in March 2023, the song tenderly accompanies listeners with vocals and sounds that are at times heartrending and at times warm.
It’s a track for those taking a new step with the arrival of spring, and for anyone experiencing a farewell with a dear friend.
WE ARE THE CHAMP 〜THE NAME OF THE GAME〜The Fans
If you’re a soccer fan, you’ve probably hummed this at least once.
Adopted in 1993 as an official cheer song by the Japan Football Association and used as the image song for Fuji TV’s J.
League broadcasts, it became a hit at the time, selling over 1.
2 million copies.
With its dynamic composition and memorable chorus, this track has the power to unite the crowd and makes you want to raise your voice in the stadium.
When you think of a “soccer song,” this is the one that comes to mind first.
WINNER! Gojuuger!Wienners
Its powerful message, which encourages listeners and unleashes individuality, is sure to strike a chord.
Selected as the opening theme for the Super Sentai series’ 50th anniversary work, “Number One Sentai Gojuger,” airing from February 2025, this song shakes the soul with its energetic sound and the passionate feelings woven into its lyrics.
Give it a listen, and both kids and adults alike will feel the strength to face tomorrow welling up inside!

Moving point PWednesday Campanella
Wednesday Campanella’s new song, which portrays the world of mathematics from a unique angle, vividly expresses the choices and changes we face in life.
By paralleling the movement of a point on a line from our textbooks with our own lives, it gently asks us about the importance of living true to ourselves.
The electro-pop sound blends beautifully with Shiina’s translucent vocals, creating a track that gives you the strength to look forward.
Released in December 2024 as the theme song for episode 7 of the Amazon Original drama “OSHI NO KO,” it’s a song I recommend not only to middle schoolers working hard at their studies and club activities, but also to anyone who needs encouragement when they’re struggling or feeling unsure.
Winter StoryTakako Okamura
After her work as part of Aming, Takako Okamura also thrived as a solo artist.
She has left behind several classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Winter Story.
The vocal range in this piece isn’t wide, and the melody line has relatively gentle contours.
Because the range isn’t broad, you can lower the key and still project the low notes sufficiently, making it undeniably easy to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
