VoyageHamasaki Ayumi
Ayumi Hamasaki’s 28th single “Voyage” is striking for its grand, orchestral sound.
Its vocal range spans from mid1F to hiD#, which is fairly wide and, true to her style, sits on the higher side overall.
That said, the melodic movement is relatively gentle, and with a BPM of 90, it shouldn’t be difficult to follow the pitch.
Since high notes occur in succession, if you’re not confident in your upper range, it’s recommended to lower the key by one semitone from the standard key before singing.

It was also featured in the teaser for Season 3 of the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, and its strong affinity with dark-hero narratives has inspired numerous fan-made videos.
This song is a perfect fit for high-energy videos and sports-oriented reels—highly recommended if you’re aiming for aggressive, hard-hitting visuals.

How could I possibly know?Vaundy
Vaundy’s “Boku ni wa Doushite Wakarun Darou” is set for release in 2025, a song that feels gentle yet carries a sense of urgency.
It begins quietly, as if murmuring one’s feelings, gradually building in power, and the strings that join toward the chorus create a poignant tension.
The expressive portrayal of emotions—regret, setbacks, and other forms of suffering—is striking, and the way these are depicted with touches of dreamlike language also conveys a sense of anxiety whose true nature is unclear.
The song has been selected for a Sony Life commercial featuring Tori Matsuzaka, presenting a message of moving forward with a positive attitude.
Precisely because the bright visuals overlap with a song infused with unease, it evokes an image of striving to overcome hardship.
