It skillfully expresses both the wistfulness of summer’s end and the inner conflict of a man who has grown older.

Released in August 2006, it was also chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s summer event “Odaiba Adventure King 2006.” It debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon Singles Chart and became a major hit, selling 133,000 copies.

“Diamond Crevasse,” the first ending theme of Macross Frontier and a song also used within the series.

Among the songs sung by Sheryl, it’s especially popular, so many anime fans likely remember it.

It’s a very beautiful ballad that conjures up Sheryl’s dignified figure.

Since it also played during the scene where Michael was killed in action, it may remind many people of his final moments.

It’s a highly recommended number that I’d love people unfamiliar with Macross Frontier to hear as well.

From the Japanese visual-kei band SID, this song is included on their 11th album, “Umibe.” “Damasiai” was released digitally in advance of the album.

While many selections in this article are relatively advanced, I think this track makes an ideal practice song even for beginners at singing or karaoke.

The vocal melody itself doesn’t have many particularly difficult parts, so practice to faithfully reproduce this slightly side-to-side, groovy rhythm.

It’s perfect for developing your sense of rhythm and feel for the beat.

Since it’s an up-tempo song, be careful not to let your singing get ahead of the beat.

The lyrics are also compelling, conveying a burning determination to believe in your own strength and forge your future.

It’s the kind of song that will stir something deep inside as you listen! Be sure to check out this upper-tune that’ll blast away the swirling haze in your heart.

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.
