One-Room ChristmasNEW!CARAMEL CANDiD
On Christmas night, spending time alone in a studio apartment.
This song, which revisits the distance between who I am now and the memories of the tree I once gathered around with my family as a child, delicately portrays the loneliness felt all the more in a festive season and the unextinguished longing for warmth.
The clear, high-toned vocals resonate as if awakening the bells and lights from memory, highlighting a lyrical world where sweetness and bitterness coexist.
Released digitally by the four-piece band CARAMEL CANDiD in October 2024, the track was later included on their October 2025 album, “A Place with Neither Heaven nor Hell.” Year-end parties and dazzling celebrations are great, but when you want to quietly look back on the year, this is a song that gently keeps you company for a Christmas spent alone.
forgotten itemNEW!GRAPEVINE
Puddles reflecting the sun, a sweat-drenched past, holiday lights in December—though the lyrics are dotted with such vivid scenes, a somehow bittersweet and distant memory rises to the surface in this GRAPEVINE number.
The song appears as the fourth track on their 19th album, Far From That Road, released in May 2025, with lyrics by Kazumasa Tanaka and music by drummer Toru Kamei.
The jangly guitars layered with strings gently cradle a nostalgia for something lost in adulthood.
It’s a perfect song for the year’s end, when you find yourself looking back and longing for “those days.”
I am not a robot.NEW!Peanut
This is a track that shines with an ironic worldview, built around the familiar internet security check phrase, “I am not a robot.” Created by Pīnata and released in October 2025, it uses EDM sounds and Kasane Teto’s vocals to vividly portray a message laced with satire toward internet culture and mechanical authentication systems.
It reflects the true feelings and façades of those of us living in a digital society.
Be sure to experience these waves of sound for yourself!
If I were to die tomorrowNEW!Tatsuya Kitani
A track that opens Tatsuya Kitani’s album ROUNDABOUT and profoundly questions the meaning of living in the present.
Released in January 2024, this song breaks from his usual composing style of starting with the chorus, instead being carefully built from the intro.
Beginning with a beautiful piano melody and surging forward cloaked in grand strings, the sound carries a wish for listeners to keep living even while holding despair.
The lyrics, like a pinky swear of a promise, can be seen as Kitani’s declaration of intent for the music itself to be a source of support for the listener.
It’s a song that stays close to the hearts of those struggling to breathe through their days or prone to holding back their emotions.
My subjectsNEW!Ketsumeishi
A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.
It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.
Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.
The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.
For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.
Light humming is also recommended.
cotton candyNEW!back number
Set against the backdrop of a summer festival, this bittersweet love song portrays the feelings of a man who can’t bring himself to confess his love.
Released in 2012 as the sixth single, it was also included on the third album “blues” and the best-of collection “Encore.” Chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV in July 2012, it reached many listeners.
Wanting to hold hands but hesitating, wanting to say “I like you” but unable to put it into words—the song is filled with that poignant frustration, evoking the faint, youthful crushes many experienced in their school days.
Amid the lively bustle of the festival, quiet emotions surface; this is a track that resonates with the sweet, fleeting moments of love.
forget-me-notNEW!Awesome City Club
This song is by the three-piece band Awesome City Club, who captivate listeners with a world woven by male-and-female twin vocals.

The sophisticated arrangement, colored by electric piano and strings, creates a chic, urban atmosphere.
It’s the kind of stylish healing song that, when you listen to it on a night you want to reset your heart, gently stays close to your tired everyday life.
