■ Recochoku selection: yutori “Pure Muku”
A four-piece rock band formed in December 2020 with an average age of 21 years old. In just two and a half years since their formation, the songs they released have exceeded 10 million plays, and their tour held this fall was sold out across the board. They have appeared at numerous large festivals and are now leading the next generation of rock music.
Released on December 18th“Pure and innocent”is an attractive song with lyrics that give a glimpse of the true feelings behind the sarcastic and twisted words, and a straightforward J-pop sound that contradicts the lyrics. Vocalist Sato’s carefree singing voice that overlaps with the distorted tone also draws you in.
In 2025, a one-man tour will be held in 9 locations nationwide including Zepp Shinjuku! You can’t take your eyes off Yutori as it continues to evolve. (RecoChoku staff)

■Eggs selection: Room 606 “100 pieces of happiness and just one”
A 4-piece piano rock band from Osaka, formed on January 23, 2022. After the first release, “Kimi no Kotoha,” attracted attention on Eggs, the number of views for the second work, “Mikoi,” rapidly increased, quickly exceeding 2 million sub-views.
New song released on December 18th“100 happinesses and just one”is a heartbreaking song with the theme of regret and loss in love. The lyrics, which describe how he realized his feelings for you while tracing winter scenes and memories, seem to compare the loss of color to the loss of love. The melody played by the piano and delicate strings, which are characteristic of Room 606, color the song while expressing the transience of love and the delicacy of love. (“Eggs” staff)
