I want to hold youzēzē hāhā

Zeezeehaa-Haa is a band that’s popular among hardcore Japanese rock fans.

In their early days, they incorporated funk and soul, giving their sound a distinctive originality even within mainstream Japanese rock.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Dakishimete Itai” (“I Want to Hold You”).

The vocal range is about average, with no sudden jumps in pitch and a relaxed tempo, making it unquestionably easy to sing.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

If you’re looking for a girly track that captures bittersweet first love, “Datte Datte Datte” is highly recommended.

Created in 2011 by Takanon, a Vocaloid producer known for numerous love songs, it’s a melodious piece with a passionate band sound.

The lyrics portray a cute, self-questioning crush, making it perfect for a surprise lyric confession to someone you like.

It’s a warm number that accompanies the feeling of “I just can’t help thinking about that person…” After the surprise, why not take the chance to share your feelings?

Daidai, which was used as the ending theme for the anime BLEACH—where characters in traditional Japanese attire engage in fierce battles—was released by Chatmonchy in 2007, delivering a simple yet deeply affecting rock sound.

The song’s lyrics, written by vocalist Eriko Hashimoto during her high school years, align beautifully with the series’ world, where high school students, including the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki, take center stage.

The poignant vocals set against a weighty band sound make for a stirring track.

Be sure to listen to this rock ballad that portrays the heart of love in a true-to-life way.
