sonetACIDMAN
Within its grand melody, this song holds both the resolve to live boldly and a gentle tenderness.
Set against the vast nature of Hokkaido, it portrays life’s joys and sorrows through the moon and stars shining in the night sky, and the falling rain and snow.
Along the journey of chasing dreams, it leaves a deep afterglow that quietly speaks to the importance of living true to oneself.
The track was pre-released by ACIDMAN in December 2024, with the CD following in January 2025.
Chosen as the ending theme for the final episode of WOWOW’s drama “Renzoku Drama W Golden Kamuy — Hokkaido Tattooed Prisoner Contest Arc,” it is also complemented by striking footage shot on location in Hokkaido by film director Shigeaki Kubo.
When you stand at a crossroads in life or face an important decision, this is a song that will stay close to your heart.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
You can’t go a day without hearing the song “Bunny Girl” on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
It’s a signature track by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, known for its light, breezy melody.
In contrast to its bright and airy feel, the song’s vocal line is crafted with a very narrow range.
Because the pitch movement is very gentle, anyone can sing it in chest voice.
Even men with very low voices should be able to sing it without issue in the right key, so considering how well it’s received, it’s definitely worth adding to your repertoire.
Don’t Mind Me (feat. Sota Hanamura from Da-iCE)Ayumu Imazu
A male duo song marked by a comfortable harmony that feels like a heart-to-heart with a best friend.
The perfectly synced vocals of Ayumu Imazu and Sota Hanamura gently wrap away everyday stress and worries.
Celebrating the importance of living true to oneself, this track was released in March 2023 and was also selected as the theme song for the professional baseball broadcast program “S☆1 BASEBALL.” It’s the first collaborative work between Ayumu Imazu and Sota Hanamura, who is active as a vocalist of Da-iCE.
It’s a motivational song that, when played as morning commute or school BGM, can lift your spirits and help you face the day positively.
ultra soulB’z
This is a hard rock number by B’z that powerfully expresses a soul’s cry to keep pushing the limits.
The lyrics, which portray facing oneself and chasing dreams, brilliantly capture the doubts and inner struggles we all encounter at life’s crossroads.
Takahiro Matsumoto’s dynamic guitar and Koshi Inaba’s soaring vocals blend perfectly, injecting a strong surge of energy into the listener’s heart.
Released in March 2001, it was chosen as the official theme song for the FINA World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka that same year.
Also included on the album “GREEN” and performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, this track gives a boost to anyone striving in their work or life.
It’s the perfect cheer song to belt out with close friends when you get together.

LimelightDeNeel
Born in Osaka, DeNeel is a captivating band that pioneered their own genre, “OSAKA REVIVAL POP,” elevating elements of classic kayōkyoku into a contemporary sound.
Since forming in 2017, they’ve built a distinctive world with R&B-like grooves, distorted guitar textures, and glossy vocals.
In 2019, they moved their base of operations to Tokyo and have steadily grown their fanbase, with over 380,000 views on their songs on YouTube.
In July 2023, they provided theme songs for anime and films, increasing their media presence.
Each member brings a diverse musical background, creating a neo-kayōkyoku sound.
Blending nostalgia and freshness, their music is a record that can be enjoyed across generations.
A bouquet for boring daysLUCKY TAPES
Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.
In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.
That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.
The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.
J.O.K.E.R.MAZZEL
MAZZEL is one of the groups supporting Japan’s current boy group boom.
Among their works—renowned for performances that rival K-pop—my top recommendation is J.O.K.E.R.
The chorus features falsetto throughout.
It’s not just about hitting high notes; the rapid, repeated switches between chest voice and falsetto make it exceptionally challenging.
Breath control is also crucial, so if you can sing this song with ease, your vocal ability is at a professional level.
