boyfriendNEW!aiko
It’s a love song with a bright, poppy melody and a driving sound that really gets the crowd going at karaoke.
For “Boyfriend,” the key practice point is the chorus.
The A and B sections often end with rising or clipped phrases, which makes it harder to add fills, but the chorus has many sustained notes, and if you finish phrases by lowering the pitch, you should be able to capture that distinctive aiko vibe.
The overall range is high, so be careful not to push too hard.
If you relax while holding out the final syllables, the tension will release and your breath will flow more naturally.
Ordinary personNEW!murasaki ima
A song gently sung by Shikon that captures the discomfort with being the “special” someone society demands and a wry take on being ordinary.
Sparked by questioning the word “genius,” this work is defined by an ironic worldview that flips conventional measures of value on their head.
Even within its catchy sound, a sharp perspective shines through.
It’s a track included on the album “Gallery,” released in May 2023, and re-included on the album “eMulsion,” released in March 2025.
It’s a recommended song that, when you’re feeling down, makes you want to affirm your true, unadorned self!
My cutieNEW!MON7A
Singer-songwriter MON7A captivates fans with a uniquely one-of-a-kind presence and a two-dimensional visual aesthetic on social media—all while still a current high school student.
Her major second single, released in March 2026, was created from real experiences on ABEMA’s dating show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.
Haron Arc,” and her gentle voice and melodies—featured in a self-accompanied performance video that has amassed 4.5 million views—deliver a striking impact.
The candid message, which lays bare everyday, frustrating feelings of love, offers a vivid realism that makes a down-to-earth crush come to life before your eyes.
It’s a pop tune with an addictive quality that invites repeated listens, acoustic in texture yet somehow tinged with the sweet-and-sour essence of youth.

Our MagicNEW!Hanbaato Hanbaato
Even as we feel the powerlessness of words, there are still everyday moments in which exchanging them saves us—that’s what this song expresses.
It’s included on Humbert Humbert’s album “Ai no Himitsu,” released in October 2020.
Set to a warm band sound, it sings of caring for the other person.
The melodic line, which gently delivers each and every sentence, is striking.
Give it a listen when you want to spend calm, peaceful time with your beloved partner.
The thing I wanted mostNEW!Makihara Noriyuki
This is the 32nd single, released on July 28, 2004, and it served as the theme song for the drama “Last Present: The Final Summer Living with My Daughter,” starring Yuki Amami.
It’s a self-cover of “The Gift,” which was provided to the British band Blue, and it’s a warm masterpiece that realizes that selfless love and contribution to others are truly “the thing I wanted most.” Someone practicing this song in vocal training struggled with the pitch at the end of the phrases in the A section—does it go up or down? It seemed a bit tricky to memorize.
The overall vocal range isn’t that high, so if you sing with resonance in your head voice, you might be able to deliver it smoothly!
Make my heartNEW!Hirai Ken
This is the theme song for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi, released on March 1, 2017.
It was her first anime theme song, written to evoke the bond between Doraemon and Nobita—a touching medium ballad that resonates with the heart.
The accompaniment is piano throughout, and if you sing without rushing, the tempo shouldn’t run.
Since it’s basically sung gently, lightly resonating in the nose and head as if you were humming will suit the atmosphere perfectly.
When humming, use plenty of breath as if you’re humming a tune.
Be careful not to produce the sound in your throat, as that will turn into a throaty voice.
BOYKing Gnu
This is a track by King Gnu, written as the opening theme for the TV anime Ranking of Kings and released as a CD single in December 2021.
While their music may often be associated with sharp, aggressive rock, this piece is filled with warmth and a kindness that affirms the listener’s vulnerability.
Included on the album THE GREATEST UNKNOWN, it marks a new frontier for the band.
As you embark on your university life, there may be moments when the unfamiliar environment shakes your confidence.
In those times, this song—which portrays the dignity of continuing to move forward even when you feel weak—will gently give you a push.
May it give you the courage to take a step forward in your own way!
