Vocaloid immersionWagakki Band
This is the debut album of Wagakki Band, a work that opened up new possibilities for Japanese rock.
Its innovative musicality—fusing traditional Japanese instruments with contemporary rock sound—grabs listeners and won’t let go.
Released in April 2014, the album features covers of popular VOCALOID songs, radiating a fresh appeal through the blend of wagakki tones and rock.
Sparked by their appearance at France’s Japan Expo, the band also received high acclaim overseas.
It’s a must-listen not only for those interested in traditional Japanese music, but also for rock fans seeking a new musical experience.
If you want to rediscover the charm of Japanese instruments, this album is highly recommended.
Boy And GirlWada Akiko
Released in April 1969 as the B-side to Akiko Wada’s second single “Doshaburi no Ame no Naka de,” this track showcases Wada’s powerful vocals.
With lyrics by Toshiko Obinata and music by Ryochi Ozawa, the song’s words—centered on the joys and pains of love—leave a strong impression.
Strongly influenced by overseas soul music, Wada’s truly “dynamite” singing combined with a rhythmic melody brought a fresh sensation to the music scene of the time.
Known as one of her early signature works, it captures the allure she exuded soon after her debut.
I am your lullaby.Doi Haruto
Haruto Doi is a remarkably talented singer who hails from Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Born in 1962, Doi made his professional debut as a member of the chorus group “Hakuchōza,” led by Reiko Sada, the sister of Masashi Sada, and the following year he launched his solo career.
He released seven singles and four albums, captivating listeners with his rich sensitivity and delicate expressiveness.
However, he was forced to pause his activities after being injured in a motorcycle accident in 1999.
Even so, his music continues to be loved by many.
Doi’s pure and passionate singing voice will be passed down as a source of pride for Ishikawa.
VoyagersTsuchiya Anna
This is Anna Tsuchiya’s 15th single overall, released on August 22, 2012.
It was written specifically as the theme song for Kamen Rider Fourze THE MOVIE: Everybody, It’s Space Time! With a Japanese mother and a Polish-American father, Anna Tsuchiya’s mixed heritage and somewhat exotic looks evoke a rock image—and in this track, she showcases a powerful, distinctly rock-inflected vocal performance.
Singing a medium-to-slow, major-key song with a beautiful melody like this in a strong, forceful way without it falling apart is actually quite difficult without solid vocal technique and skill.
While the lyrics are in Japanese, it’s a track where you can enjoy a vocal delivery that feels anything but conventional for Japan.
BokuNatsuSakaguchi Ami
Based on the voices of children who, due to the COVID outbreak in 2020, could no longer take part in clubs and various extracurricular activities, Aimi Sakaguchi created “#BokuNatsu.” There were so many kids who had to miss their final tournaments and competitions because of COVID.
This song clears away that pent-up frustration—the vague, directionless haze and the bitter feelings that aren’t anyone’s fault.
It’s a track that makes you feel that everything you did leading up to that final summer tournament was absolutely not in vain.
I took on every opportunity I was given, but I never once wanted anyone to push me from behind.Sakamoto Ryuichi
In life, opportunities will surely come to everyone, time and again.
How will you seize them—move forward or stay put? Don’t be afraid and think you can’t leap at a chance unless someone gives you a push.
Grab it quickly with your own judgment! These are words that give you that kind of courage.

It’s a gentle midtempo song featuring his sweet, youthful vocals.
