Before they had debut dates, or any idea of where their careers would lead, ONE OR EIGHT's SOUMA and STARGLOW's TAIKI were two trainees pushing each other to become better. Years later, that history has found its way into music with "ONE WHO GLOWS," a special three-song session released on YouTube that brings the two artists back together for a high-energy rap exchange. SOUMA and TAIKI first met during their trainee years, when both were working toward the same goal and spen

Odetari, SatapanP, and Hatsune Miku come together for “Party Monster,” the latest release from BEYOND BORDERs. Released September 9, the single brings electronic production, rock influence, and hip-hop energy into one track, pairing Odetari’s hard-hitting style with SatapanP’s Vocaloid production and Miku’s unmistakable virtual vocals. Odetari has built his music around the kind of electronic sound that moves quickly and hits hard, drawing from hip-hop, club music, and the in

Déjà vu is that strange little feeling of familiarity that catches you off guard: the sense that you have been somewhere before, heard something before, or lived through a moment that is happening for the very first time. SOTA HANAMURA and Airi Suzuki capture that same contradiction in "Dejavu,” a song built around two people who already know each other but sound as though they are meeting in this musical space for the first time. The friendship between SOTA and Airi develope

For ONE OR EIGHT, EN-GÏNE is more than a collection of six songs. The group's first EP arrives at a point when their sound, audience, and ambitions are all continuing to expand, bringing together the high-energy performance style that has become part of their identity with a wider exploration of production, atmosphere, and emotion.

There is a moment everyone knows but rarely talks about. The second when your thoughts become louder than everything around you, when worries begin stacking on top of each other, and even taking a simple breath feels harder than it should. NAQT VANE’s newest single Breathe captures that exact feeling, not by pretending those emotions disappear, but by creating a space where listeners can sit with them and remember they are not facing those moments alone. NAQT VANE is a Japane

For months, SIRUP fans knew “TIRED” as something different: a song that existed only in the spaces between artist and audience. It was a track discovered through live performances, passed around through memories of concerts, and carried by fans who had heard it on stage but could not yet add it to their playlists. Long before its official release, “TIRED” had already become a song shared through experience rather than streaming numbers. Since beginning his career, SIRUP has b

Some songs are built around a catchy hook. Others are inspired by a trend. ONE OR EIGHT's newest single, "YANKEE SQUAT," takes inspiration from something far more unexpected. A simple sitting pose that has long been associated with Japan's rebellious youth culture becomes the centerpiece of one of the group's most confident and entertaining releases to date. Rather than treating the "Asian Squat" as a novelty, the eight-member group transforms it into a celebration of individ

For most artists, performing in a new country represents the beginning of building a connection with a new audience. For WOLF HOWL HARMONY, their first performance in Brazil carried a much deeper meaning. For member GHEE, the stage at Anime Friends 2026 was not simply an overseas debut, but a long-awaited return to a place that was once part of his own story.

Everyone has experienced the moment when the hardest battle is not against someone else, but against themselves. The arguments we replay in our heads, the doubts we cannot escape, and the parts of ourselves we struggle to understand can often become the most difficult challenges to overcome. Japanese three-piece band karanoah explores that complicated emotional conflict with their latest single "ばけもん Bakemon," transforming an internal struggle into a powerful theme song for t
