EYES ON YOUNishino Kana

[75th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen Song] 'EYES ON YOU' MV Full
EYES ON YOUNishino Kana

It’s the first single released after their return, dropped on July 5, 2024, and included on the EP “Love Again.” It’s an up-tempo, catchy track that expresses both the joy and the pain of love.

The song itself is on the shorter side at 3 minutes and 36 seconds, so it gets to the chorus quickly.

The key is to articulate clearly at the very start of the chorus, and there’s a rap-style section around the midpoint.

Since the rap part also stays quite high, crisp enunciation throughout should make it much easier to sing.

You might worry about pitch, but first, don’t hesitate—project your voice confidently and get used to it.

Carried by Hatsune Miku’s vocals are slightly precarious emotions—regret and feelings with nowhere to go.

External creators contributed the guitar performance and illustrations, and the fusion of meticulously crafted sound and visuals leaves an unforgettable impact after a single viewing.

It’s a perfect track for sentimental nights or moments when you want to quietly immerse yourself in music alone.

Experience the addictive pull woven by the danceable beat and heartrending lyrics.

UnlikelihoodLUNA SEA

Amid a lineup of dazzling hit songs, are you familiar with the sixth track on the album “SHINE,” which dares to portray the darker side? It’s a rock number that draws listeners into the boundary between reality and unreality, with a weighty groove characteristic of bassist J, who composed the original, and lyrics that interweave English and Japanese.

Released in July 1998, the song was also used in a soft drink commercial featuring RYUICHI.

The fact that it has been performed at pivotal moments—such as the Tokyo Dome show in December 1998—shows how important this track is to the band.

Just as stronger light casts deeper shadows, this is a masterpiece I especially recommend to those who want to experience the band’s profound world that lies behind the glamorous title track, or to lose themselves completely in waves of sound on a late night.
