Written from a woman’s perspective, the song depicts the happiness of building up everyday moments, like jotting down memories with a lover in a diary.

From the razor-sharp guitar phrase in the intro, you’re instantly drawn in—this is a rock tune brimming with ALEXANDROS’s stylish flair.

It’s a sleek, urban, and cool sound, yet it carries a powerful intensity that fires up the listener.

The message, painstakingly refined—so much so that Yohei Kawakami said it took the longest in his lyricist career—seems to sing of a steadfast conviction found beyond doubt and inner conflict.

The track is included on the November 2018 album Sleepless in Brooklyn.

It’s a song that will surely give you a push when you’re facing a major obstacle.

Out of ControlNothing’s Carved In Stone

Isn’t that guitar riff that slams in from the intro insanely cool? It’s a technical, thrilling rock tune where each instrument clashes like sparks flying.

The track is by the powerhouse rock band Nothing’s Carved In Stone, released in March 2013 as their fourth single.

It served as the opening theme for the anime PSYCHO-PASS.

The uncontrollable impulses and primal energy depicted here are the very cries of the characters’ hearts as they struggle in a world ruled by the Sibyl System.

It carries a force that seems to unleash the listener’s inner urges.

If mere heat isn’t enough for you, surrender yourself to its meticulously crafted sound.

Sign of LovePUFFY

PUFFY “A Sign of Love” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
Sign of LovePUFFY

Among people in their early 40s, PUFFY can be considered a very popular music duo.

Many of you may have imitated their fashion, too.

Of all PUFFY’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Ai no Shirushi” (“The Sign of Love”).

Its vocal range is mid2B to hiB, which is low enough that it wouldn’t be unusual even for a male vocalist.

The highest note only appears twice in the chorus, so even those who tend to go off-pitch on high notes should be able to sing it without trouble.

wicked womanNakajima Miyuki

Miyuki Nakajima has released a lot of hit songs.

One I’d like to recommend, with a comfortable vocal range, is “Akujo” (Bad Girl), released in October 1981.

Just from the title you might think, “Is it a dark song?” but the tune is surprisingly bright and the melody is easy to remember.

When you look at the lyrics, though, you’ll think, “It’s kind of a bittersweet song…” The verses (A-melo to B-melo) are sung fairly low, almost like speaking, and there’s a part in the chorus where the pitch suddenly jumps up, so watch out there.

Time your entry for the high notes and throw yourself into it—project your voice with momentum! That way you can sing comfortably without straining your throat.

If your timing is off it’ll feel odd, so keep practicing until you nail the timing.

Ling tosite sigure electrifies fans with their aggressive rock sound and gut-wrenching male–female twin vocals.

For many, this band is synonymous with PSYCHO-PASS.

Written as the theme song for the May 2023 film PSYCHO-PASS: Providence, this track is included on the album last aurorally.

The sound that surges from the heavy bass intro into full acceleration amplifies the story’s sense of urgency.

It feels as if you can hear the painfully earnest cries of the characters’ hearts as they waver on the boundary between normal and abnormal.

It’s a thrilling rock tune, perfect for immersing yourself deeply in the world of the work.

GReeeeN / Akari [Theme song for TBS Sunday drama 'TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room']
AkariGReeeeN

This is a moving mid-tempo number written as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama series “TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room.” The dramatic arrangement woven by the strings leaves a strong impression.

The lyrics portray the preciousness of being like a light that illuminates each other in the darkness, carrying a warm message that anyone can be a hero to someone.

Released in September 2021 as the 35th single, the song is included on the album “Baby Tooth.” It’s a hope-filled track especially recommended for those who feel they’re about to lose sight of the light in difficult times, or who wish to be a support for someone important.
