Hey Vanessa! Reeeeally happy you enjoyed the rec!
Nisshoku is Team B's debut song in the story and was actually added to the game alongside Judas and monokaki as the team's first few songs.
Blackstar is unique in the sense that the cast of characters are either performers or singers, so every team only has 1-2 (or even 3 in Team P and K) members that sing (these are the ones with dual casting). I think this is what makes Blackstar stand out from a lot of 2D projects and also gives the music an extra 'oomph'. It's really fun to see how each casting breathes life into the characters in their own way - whether through the seiyuu in the story or the singer in the song.
Most of Blackstar's songs are actually based around literature/theatrical works etc., the ones that aren't are usually original stories created by the characters or Team B's diss tracks (which are also worth checking out btw).
As you have mentioned, each of the 5 teams in Blackstar focuses on their own respective style of music so I feel that there's something for everyone to enjoy. Personally, I think what makes this series harder to get into (and more niche) is also because the music is not easily accessible at all (only 14 out of the 180 songs released in-game so far have their full versions available officially for streaming). (I get that they do this to market the albums to people lol but I can't help but wish more was available bc the game's repertoire is really solid overall).
Btw, the album you own has other Team B songs as well! (Tenma no Utage, Somewhere and Kyokuya, Just a Loser features Idetaku along with all of the singers as it's the 1st anni song). Also if anyone reading this comment is interested in seeing more, check out Daken (fun diss track), Mosquitone (both versions for idetaku's acting chops) and Ningen Shikkaku (a song of helplessness).
Fun fact: Idetaku is also the writer for Team B's lyrics and has also created some of Team B's tracks too! Adds a nice personal touch to Team B's music me thinks, especially because in game, Heath is the one mainly in charge of Team B's music and a lot of the lyrics and things he raps about actually reflect himself moreso than whichever literary work they are basing their show off of. Which makes analysing his character very fun!
