Yamikawa TokyoKairiki Bear
It’s an addictive electropop track.
Kairiki Bear, the Vocaloid producer known for “Venom,” released it in September 2025.
It portrays the craving for approval and the inner “darkness” behind the pursuit of “cute” in glamorous Tokyo.
You’ll find yourself drawn into a world where cuteness and danger intertwine.
This piece is the theme song for the solo concert “Yamikawa Tokyo Paranoid” held in October 2025.
Be sure to experience Kairiki Bear’s uniquely thrilling sound.
Gentle CometYOASOBI
Since the overall vocal range is C4–F5, one of my male voice-training students sang it an octave lower! The rhythm is steady and the melody is easy to follow, so it might be just right for women to sing in the original key and for men to sing an octave down.
When singing, the key is to avoid belting and base your voice on falsetto.
If you’re not used to high notes, practice humming.
If you hum using your throat, your singing voice will also stay throaty, so use more breath than you think and hum lightly.
I want you to take in a lot of air through your mouth, but if your chest expands when you inhale, it becomes chest breathing and creates tension.
Relax your shoulders and let the breath go into your abdomen instead.
After that, lightly hold your breath for a moment to prepare, then hum gently—this makes it easier to grasp the right sensation!
Night journeyYorushika
On quiet nights, memories of days gone by sometimes drift through your mind, don’t they? There’s a song by Yorushika that gently stays by your side in those wistful moments.
Conjuring scenes like swaying on a night train, the track depicts an inner journey of facing forward even while carrying past pain and farewells.
Suis’s clear, translucent voice conveys the stillness and solitude of the night—and the faint hope beyond—seeping deeply into the heart.
Released in March 2020, the song was featured as an insert track in the animated feature film “A Whisker Away.” Why not give it a listen when you want to take your time and sit with the sorrow of heartbreak?

yakisoba breadMakoto Kawamoto
This is a track by Makoto Kawamoto that captures a slice-of-life scene with her one-of-a-kind pop sensibility.
The rapid-fire wordplay that unfolds at a dizzying pace and the irresistibly catchy melody that sticks in your head after just one listen are truly captivating.
The song is included on her debut album “Makoto Kawamoto,” released in June 1997, which became a million seller.
The album, which also features the theme song for the anime Rurouni Kenshin, is known as a classic that reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
If you listen to it when you want to feel the small joys and bittersweet moments tucked into a hectic everyday life, it might just make your heart feel a little lighter.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to experience the sparkle of ’90s J-pop.
A song that doesn't motivate meape
A pop tune whose laid-back vibe and sense of speed are irresistibly addictive.
Created by Vocaloid producer Ape, it was released in September 2025.
It comically portrays that unique listlessness that makes you want to look away from what you’re supposed to be doing.
The pop sound blends a playful back-and-forth between Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto—super cute! True to its title, it’s a humor-packed Vocaloid track that’ll make you laugh out loud from sheer relatability when you listen to it in those “I just can’t get motivated” moments.
Young & RecklessONE OR EIGHT
This is a track by ONE OR EIGHT where near-futuristic electronic sounds intertwine with nostalgic ’90s beats and even exotic melodies.
It’s an anthem of challenge with the theme of “enjoying life like a game,” evoking the fearless, unconcerned-with-others’ opinions mindset of childhood.
It’s the kind of music that can help you when you’re hesitating to take on something new.
Night FlightYoshitaka Minami
It’s a stylish city-pop number that melts into the urban night.
Written and performed by singer-songwriter Yoshitaka Minami, it’s included on the classic 1978 album “South of the Border.” Ryuichi Sakamoto’s light, bossa nova–tinged arrangement is gently complemented by Minami’s sweet, soft vocals, creating an utterly dreamy finish.
Within its romantic, night-flight atmosphere, you can feel the happiness and excitement of spending time with someone you love.
A new version was produced in 1996, and it was also used as the ending theme for the TV program “THE WEEK.” Put it on during a drive with your partner or a quiet night at home, and it will surely make the mood between you even sweeter.
