Hitsujibungaku - 1999.
The song is about growing up and things changing. It's set on Christmas Eve 1999, with the imminent turn of the century.
1999 was a rough year for me. Two of my best friends from high school died six months apart, and I had problems dealing with that and adjusting to college.
So while everyone else was partying like it was 1999, I was feeling like this song feels. Sad for the way things change, but a hopeful for happy times ahead.
The best part is that this song wasn't released until 2018. I didn't know about it until I heard a cover during Christmas 2023 while I was living in Japan. But it took me straighy back to 1999. Music can be amazing.

Haku - The Universe of My Mind
Haku is a four piece band from Osaka that formed in 2019. I heard them in a club a few months before I came back to the US, just before they started to blow up. They did the cover of 1999 from my other post.
Haku is great to listen to if you're trying to learn Japanese. The singer pronounces things clearly, and they use normal words in most of their songs.
This song is essentially about learning how to deal with the thoughts, feelings, and "mysterious secrets" inside one's own head while also living in the real world. (Hence, in the video, they all learn how to play their instruments, and later the bassist and drummer showing the singer and guitarist how to eat.)

I'm more familiar with City Pop era singers, although I do know some newer stuff. Here's an ano track that's essentially an ad for bored teens to work at McDonald's. (She did a few actual commercials too.)

Cowboy Junkies do a cover of Powderfinger I couldn’t find just now. It’s a Neil Young cover but it better. She makes the vocal makes it easier and sadder to understand.
