Tsukimi / Loving You Music Video

Tsukimi is a rock band made up of members from Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.

Their 2023 release “Aisuru Koto” is a song that honestly expresses feelings toward a beloved person after a breakup.

The rhythmic band performance, centered on aggressively strummed rhythm guitar, leaves a strong impression.

Since the song is delivered with vocals that seem to speak candidly about the bittersweet truths of love, focusing on the vocals when covering it as a band will create a strong sense of unity.

This straightforward, hard-hitting love song is also recommended for beginner bands.

Hammer Head Shark is a rock band with an impressively delicate sound that blends dream pop and alternative.

They’re a Japanese rock act known to those in the know, often mentioned as a stylish-band contender alongside groups like Hitsujibungaku and Kinoko Teikoku.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Sono (Garden).

It features an extremely soft, pale-hued melody, and the vocal line matches it with a subdued, world-weary delivery that avoids dramatic rises and falls.

The range is narrow, too, so if you set it to a suitable key, you should be able to sing it comfortably.

This work portrays a confrontation with the power of music, infused with sentiments that pierce the heart.

The lyrics, woven by 17-year-old Honoka Takahashi, express a sincere attitude toward music and its dual nature—capable at times of sustaining people and at other times of driving them to the brink.

The sound, incorporating elements of alternative rock and shoegaze, together with a clear, translucent vocal, creates a unique sonic world.

Included on the mini-album “the Post,” released in October 2016, it was later selected in 2019 as a tie-in song for the stage production “365 Days, 36.5°C.” This track stands beside everyone who loves music, teaching the importance of pursuing a music that is truly your own.

Chilli Beans.

is a girls’ band that’s gained popularity for their ennui-tinged, high-sense musicality—a name everyone in the Japanese rock scene knows.

Their songs often carry a languid vibe, and among them, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is “tragedy.” While it doesn’t feature explicitly low parts, the vocals sit in the low-to-mid range throughout, making it very singable for lower-voiced women.

It’s also nice that there aren’t any complicated pitch jumps.

With a refined musicality rooted in city pop and indie pop, PORIN continues to captivate the music scene.

She began her career in 2013 as the vocalist and keyboardist of Awesome City Club, making her major-label debut in 2015.

In 2021, the band won the Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards, propelling their recognition to new heights.

Her unique world, woven from delicate lyrics and beautiful melodies, also shines through in her solo work.

Beyond music, she demonstrates her talent across diverse fields such as fashion and art, and her expressive power consistently resonates with music fans who have a creative sensibility.

CHE.R.RYYUI

YUI 『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』
CHE.R.RYYUI

The eighth single by singer-songwriter YUI, released with the catchphrase, “A spring song like a sweet-and-sour fruit.” The lyrics, which incorporate modern expressions and easily evoke vivid scenes, along with the cute, breezy vibe that envelops the entire track, feel so pleasant.

While there aren’t any high notes that often serve as a difficulty barometer, the verses are quite low instead, so focus on keeping your pitch stable.

It’s a refreshing pop tune you can enjoy performing not only for the vocals but also for other parts like the catchy guitar riff in the intro.

Sabrinaieiri reo

Leo Ieiri - “Sabrina” (Full Ver.)
Sabrinaieiri reo

This is the debut single by Leo Ieiri, a female singer-songwriter from Fukuoka, which was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Toriko and became a long-running hit.

The melody has a touch of melancholy, and the somewhat nostalgic arrangement is catchy.

Since the overall key is low and the melody is relaxed, it’s also recommended for beginner vocalists.

However, there are many pitfalls that can cause you to go off pitch—such as sudden appearances of falsetto and abrupt drops from high notes to low—so be careful and stay focused all the way to the end.
