Traces of LightHoshino Gen
This song gained attention as the ending theme for the film SPY×FAMILY CODE: White.
It is performed by Gen Hoshino, who is active as a singer-songwriter, actor, and essayist.
Released in December 2023, its lyrics—centering on endings and the future, and the beauty and poignancy of memories—leave a strong impression.
The warm yet bittersweet tone of the track ties deeply to the family trip scenes in the movie.
Its sound, influenced by early-1990s hip-hop and 1980s R&B, is another major draw.
Be sure to listen and let it soothe your mind.
The Wind of a Hundred YearsTerashima Erika
Erika Terashima, a formidable talent who won the national title in the Esashi Oiwake folk song competition in 2003, made her debut as an enka singer with the double A-side single “Hyakunen no Kaze / Ryūhyō Kaidō Okhotsk,” released in August 2025.
This work is a grand historical tableau that sings of the proud spirits of the samurai who forged new frontiers, set against the backdrop of the Battle of Hakodate in her home of Hokkaido.
Her deeply resonant voice, honed through folk music, fits perfectly with Norio Ito’s powerful arrangement.
Its dramatic melody, which sings of hope passed down through time, strikes a profound chord in listeners’ hearts.
A flock of sheep climbs the hill.sutoreitenaa
This song poignantly sings of the nobility and loneliness of walking the path you believe in without being swept along by those around you.
Within a fable-like world, you can almost see a solitary figure breaking from the flock and aiming for the hilltop.
Atsushi Horie’s poetic lyrics, intertwined with a band ensemble that resounds at times fiercely and at times gently, delicately portray both determination and anxiety.
The track is one of the double A-side singles released in July 2011, and is also included on the acclaimed self-titled masterpiece “STRAIGHTENER.” Many listeners have likely felt on the verge of losing their sense of self within society or experienced loneliness.
This is a song that gently nudges you forward, telling you, “It’s okay to move at your own pace.”
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.
