DiarySEKAI NO OWARI
“Diary,” a song released in 2022 and used as the theme for the Netflix series The Future Diary.
This track, which sings of being in love, captivates listeners not only with its vocals but also with its beautiful piano accompaniment.
As a ballad, the melody is easy to follow, and the range doesn’t vary drastically, making it relatively easy to sing.
However, since it’s sung in a comparatively high register for men, those with lower voices may need to adjust the key.
If you’re looking to perform a memorable ballad, be sure to consider choosing this song.

A six-piece ska-rock band formed in 2006 mainly by classmates from a music university, which announced a hiatus in 2013.
Centered on a cute, commanding vocalist, they fuse bright brass tones that shine over lively, catchy songs with a tight band sound.
While their tracks showcase high-level musicianship, the ensemble is superbly balanced so no single instrument dominates, letting the quality of the songs themselves come through naturally.
Their sound design and song structures are excellent—this is a band you should definitely give a proper listen to at least once.
