Boy Hunt (Where the Boys Are)Takeuchi Mariya
This piece beautifully captures the glamorous world of 1960s American pop, brought to life by Mariya Takeuchi.
It sings of a pure, romantic heart dreaming of meeting its destined partner.
Unlike the original song’s proactive heroine, the Japanese lyrics shift the tone slightly, evoking a modest yet single-minded woman quietly waiting for the day they cross paths.
That earnest devotion makes your heart tighten, doesn’t it? The track is included on the covers album LONGTIME FAVORITES, released in October 2003.
Among the songs that debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon chart, this one especially showcases her expressive power.
When you want to recall that exhilarating feeling at the start of love, listening to it will surely make your heart flutter.
Bossa BosaWOLF HOWL HARMONY
A funky dance tune that colorfully powers up the start of your day.
It’s a single released by WOLF HOWL HARMONY in June 2025.
The song carries a message that blows away morning sluggishness and the blues, turning your day into an energetic one.
With its rhythmic rap and a catchy, onomatopoeia-filled chorus, it’s seriously addictive! Put it on during those mornings when you just can’t get out of bed, and it might make you think, “Let’s have fun today, too!”
I tell lies with these eyes.CHAGE and ASKA
The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.
Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.
Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.
Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
About meSuperfly
When you think of Superfly, don’t they come to mind as a representative artist for high-pitched songs? I’ve heard this cover—Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Boku no Koto” performed in the original key—has been getting a lot of attention.
With Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, you feel the poignancy and fragility, while with Superfly, you sense a forward-looking, straightforward strength—that’s the fun of cover songs.
In the chorus, the expansive high note up to D5 and the falsetto at G5 are incredibly satisfying to hear, so I’d love for you to master them.
“Sing with your face”: lift your facial muscles and eyebrows firmly and let your voice out without hesitation.
Our Summer DreamYamashita Tatsuro
This is a song by Tatsuro Yamashita that evokes a nostalgic feeling, like a summer evening.
The beautiful melody woven by piano and strings makes it feel as if you’re watching a film from start to finish.
The lyrics seem to carry images of Japan’s lost pastoral landscapes and a gentle wish for the future, and listening to it may slowly warm your heart.
It’s a track with a warm theme that conveys bonds with loved ones and a sense of hope.
Released as a single in August 2009, it moved many people as the theme song for director Mamoru Hosoda’s animated film “Summer Wars.” It’s perfect for a summer drive with the windows down, feeling the breeze, and just as fitting for nights when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.
Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to resonate with everyone.
Our Great JourneyKing&Prince
A song for which C&K provided the composition, performed by King & Prince! Its exhilarating, up-tempo melody evokes an endless blue sky and a shining sun, setting listeners’ hearts dancing.
Brimming with positive energy, it feels like an anthem about stepping into an unknown journey with friends and moving forward just as your heart leads.
This track is included on the limited First Press Edition A of their third album “Re:Sense,” released in July 2021.
Play it on a summer drive or at a lively get-together with friends, and it will surely lift the mood even higher.
And when you need the courage to take a new step, it might just give you a gentle push forward.
A letter to meZukai
Zukai is a band that’s drawing particular attention in Japan’s indie rock scene.
They’re a group rooted in authentic indie rock, and their well-defined sound has earned them a devoted core following.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “A Letter to Me.” It may sound high at first, but the actual vocal range is quite narrow, and it doesn’t require foundational techniques like vibrato or falls.
If you’re aiming for a perfect score, definitely add it to your repertoire.
