desire for expressionMisumi
This is a work released in July 2025 by Misumi, a Vocaloid producer who is also well-regarded as the composer for DUSTCELL.
The theme of the song is the unceasing thirst in creative work and the anguish that comes with it.
Its worldview feels like an embodiment of a creator’s cry from the heart, leaving a deep impression.
The contrast between the fast-paced composition and Nurse Robo_Type T’s cool vocals is striking as well.
For those driven by the urge to express something, or when you want to confront your inner emotions more deeply, listening to this will surely help open a new door.
Hero SyndromeSochic
This is a track released on July 2, 2025 by Sochic, a male singer-songwriter based in Tokyo.
It’s a mid- to up-tempo song with clear dynamics, so it should be relatively easy to score well on.
Highly recommended if you like upbeat songs and higher vocal ranges! The A and B sections sit in the mid range and feel settled, so be careful not to let the pitch drop too far into your throat.
You’ll generally want to focus on the vocal cords and the area between the eyebrows; try singing with the image of letting the voice come forward slowly from the vocal cords.
The chorus has many words and goes higher, so if you sing each phrase carefully, both pitch and rhythm will lock in more easily.
Project your voice powerfully as if sending it far from the vocal cords—you’ll find it feels great to sing.
If you touch the dip between your collarbones, you can feel the vibration and it’s easier to grasp, so keep that in mind.
The sky of Hiroshimasadamasashi
Created in 1987 and included on commemorative albums such as “Gekko,” this work is imbued with a prayer for peace.
Masashi Sada, a native of Nagasaki, composed the song based on his aunt’s experience as a Hiroshima bombing survivor, rendering the tragedy through quiet acoustic sounds and a poignantly transparent vocal that leaves a strong impression.
It is performed without fail at the annual concert held in Nagasaki on August 6.
You can sense Sada’s characteristic sense of mission to pass historical truth on to future generations.
Precisely because memories of war are fading in the present day, this is a masterpiece to which we should listen closely.
Take a moment to reflect quietly on the preciousness of peace.
Hiroshima, River of LoveSakushi: Nakazawa Keiji sakushi / Sakkyoku: Yamamoto Katsuhiko
This is a solemn prayer song born from the only poem left by Keiji Nakazawa, the creator of the manga Barefoot Gen.
You can almost see the scene of countless lights floating on the flow of Hiroshima’s rivers, entrusted with the sorrow of the atomic bombing and hopes for the future.
Released in June 2014, this piece has been cherished as a symbol of peace, sung every year at Hiroshima’s peace events on August 6, the anniversary of the bombing.
It’s a song to listen to when you want to quietly honor the memories etched in history and reflect anew on the preciousness of peace.

drinking aloneGodai Natsuko
Amid the alluring, sensual elegance that exudes feminine charm, Natsuko Godai’s voice—harboring quiet strength—resonates deeply in this song.
It portrays a woman drinking alone, yet what lies beneath is surely more than mere loneliness.
You can picture the protagonist standing with dignity as she faces her solitude.
Released in January 1994, the single became a long-selling hit with over 300,000 copies sold and won the Cable Broadcast Grand Prize.
The track was also included in the video collection “Enka no Hanamichi: Natsuko Godai” and was widely loved through popular music programs of the time.
Some listeners may find their hearts stirred as they see their own experiences reflected in the strength that shines through the sadness.
Hiroshi’s proud hometown, ze yo!Miyama Hiroshi
This is a song by Hiroshi Miyama, a native of Nankoku City in Kochi Prefecture, packed to the brim with love for his hometown.
As a tourism ambassador, his signature spirit of service shines through, making it a deeply satisfying local anthem.
The lyrics roll out one after another—from famous landmarks like Harimaya Bridge and Hirome Market to regional specialties like first-skipjack bonito and gamecock hot pot—turning the piece into a musical journey through Kochi’s charms.
Sung proudly in his warm “vitamin voice,” declaring “shoeiyo (amazing!),” you can feel his deep affection for where he’s from.
The comfortable enka melody combined with the rustic cadence of the Tosa dialect conjures vivid images of Tosa’s grand nature and the heartfelt warmth of its people.
