CITRUSDa-iCE
A Da-iCE song themed around citrus scents that portrays the kind of happiness and kindness we often overlook.
Released in November 2020 as the theme song for NTV’s Sunday drama “The Way of the Househusband,” it became a massive hit, surpassing 100 million streams.
The lyrics, expressing strong bonds, determination, and hope for a free future, will encourage anyone who wants to pursue the path they believe in.
Fully showcasing Da-iCE’s signature style with their distinctive four-octave twin vocals, this track is sure to make you a hero if you can nail it at karaoke.
It’s the perfect song to listen to when you’re ready to take a new step forward.
lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE
Vividly depicting the bittersweetness and hope of youth, this work was released in April 2024 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime “Oblivion Battery.” As symbolized by its title, which carries the flower-language meanings of “first love” and “memories of youth,” the song sings of the importance of loving yourself, scars and all.
Its lyrics, which give you the courage to look forward even amid imperfect days, are delivered over Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s signature guitar rock sound.
It won the 66th Japan Record Award, and its streaming play count surpassed 300 million in record time.
This is a track you’ll want to hear when you’re struggling with the gap between dreams or ideals and reality, and need a gentle push forward.
FlowerZumi
Zumi is an artist whose compositions are rooted in Black music like soul and funk, earning popularity among hardcore music aficionados.
Although he’s still relatively under the radar, critics are paying close attention to him as a rising artist to watch.
His new song “Flower” is characterized by a structure that showcases his distinctive low-register voice throughout.
While you need to be mindful of the groove, the vocal range is narrow and largely sits in the low to low-mid register, making it an excellent piece for highlighting the appeal of men with deeper voices.
somedaySaucy Dog
A straightforward, honest love song that brings the ache and poignancy of heartbreak right to your chest.
Through real-life scenes—like the deserted park at Tawarayama and the sloping road where you can see the starry sky—the memories woven together vividly portray feelings for a precious person you can never meet again.
Released in May 2017 as a track on the album “Country Road,” this piece gently embraces an unforgettable love with warm lyrics that blend in the local Shimane dialect.
Its softly resonant melody offers quiet comfort to those who want to hold their one-sided love close, and to those who can’t quite put an end to a past romance.
You’re the Only…Ono Masatoshi
Masatoshi Ono is known in Japan as one of the top masters of high-tone vocals.
In addition to his falsetto, he is highly regarded for his mixed voice, and he’s famous for delivering solid sound pressure even at high pitches.
Speaking of Ono’s most challenging songs, “You’re the Only…” is probably at the top of the list.
This piece features an exceptionally wide range from mid1 G# to hi B, and it does not use falsetto.
In other words, because every high-tone phrase has to be sung in chest voice, it’s difficult to pull off unless you possess an unusually specialized vocal range to begin with.
Moreover, as a rock ballad, it also demands vocal power, making it a song of very high difficulty in every respect.
YesterdayOfisharu Higedan Dism
This song was written as the theme for the 2019 animated film HELLO WORLD.
Set to a striking sound featuring piano and strings woven by Satoshi Fujiwara, it conveys the anguish of sacrificing something to protect family and friends, as well as the swell of budding romance.
Opening the acclaimed album Traveler, the track surpassed 300 million streams in February 2023.
If you can pull off this dramatic number at karaoke, you just might capture the heart of that special someone!

To you, beloved just as you areDISH//
It’s a warm, encouraging song from DISH// that embraces you just as you are.
Written by Takumi Kitamura, its gentle wish for you to “be yourself” slowly seeps into the listener’s heart.
Released in September 2021 as the song for Sunstar’s Ora2 me commercial, it became a hot topic as a refreshing track that perfectly matched the CM’s vibe.
If you sing it to someone important to tell them, “You’re wonderful just the way you are,” your feelings will surely come across, straight and true.
And receiving a message like this through a song—well, it’s the kind that would make any woman’s heart skip a beat.
