Full of CheerHome Free
This is a song by Home Free, an American male a cappella group formed in 2000 that won season four of NBC’s The Sing-Off in 2013 and has been on the rise recently.
Their varied vocal tones make them very pleasant to listen to.
Although the lineup has changed over time, I think they’re a group to watch for fans of Western a cappella music.

A Cappella Digital Mole (Gesu no Kiwami Otome cover)INSPi
An a cappella group formed by members of Osaka University’s a cappella club, they made their professional debut after appearing on Hamonep.
They are known for their refreshing harmonies.
This arrangement preserves the atmosphere of the original song by Gesu no Kiwami Otome, who recently went on hiatus, while highlighting skillful choral work.
EasyKlangbezirk
It’s a song by the German a cappella quartet Klangbezirk.
The song itself is originally by the Commodores, so this is a cover, but it’s an a cappella version with gentle, soft harmonies by mixed male and female voices and expressive dynamics.
I like this version more than the original.
I think the singing style fits the lyrics very well.
Hamabe no utaKraja
Kraja is a four-woman a cappella group from Sweden.
Most of their songs are in Swedish, but since they perform in Japan, they sing part of this song in Japanese.
It’s “Hamabe no Uta.” Even if you don’t understand the Swedish lyrics, their clear, angelic voices and gentle harmonies are deeply moving.
They will be performing in Japan again this year.
AfricaPerpetuum Jazzile
Perpetuum Jazzile is a long-standing choral group founded in Slovenia in 1983.
Their setup features a cappella vocals and vocal percussion.
This song is a classic by the American rock band TOTO, but it is also known for being filled with ambiguous expressions, making the lyrics difficult to interpret.
Happiness and longingTRY-TONE
They are a Japanese mixed-voice a cappella group.
Centered in the Kanto region, they perform regularly and have given numerous concerts at arts appreciation events in junior high and high schools across the country.
The current lineup has three members, and they sing freely without sheet music, deciding only the key and the song’s structure.
This song is one of their original pieces.
He Is ChristmasTake 6
This is a song by the American six-member a cappella group Take 6.
As Black artists, they have a distinctive sound with gospel and jazz flavors.
Their vocal ability is outstanding—cool and powerful, yet also gentle and warm—truly wonderful.
They showcase a wide range of vocal expressions.
Personally, I like them a lot.
They’re a highly accomplished, veteran group with multiple Grammy wins and have even been invited to perform at the White House.
