Songs with titles starting with “Hi.” The vast world of “Hi” (181–190)
flutteringTegoshi Yūya
A captivating track that blends lightness with deep emotion, rooted in pop while incorporating elements of R&B and electronica for a hybrid sound.
Yuya Tegoshi’s expressive vocals beautifully convey both fragility and hope.
Released in May 2025, this ambitious work ventures beyond genre boundaries and has drawn attention as the theme song of a popular drama.
The refined sound—born from collaborations with renowned producers both in Japan and abroad—clearly showcases his musical growth.
Balancing wistfulness and optimism, this piece, with its soul-stirring vocals, is perfect for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their everyday life.
bleachingaimyon
Aimyong’s classic “Bleach” features an impressive acoustic melody.
It begins with a verse in the low or lower-mid range, then gradually raises the intensity, so the overall vocal range is somewhat broad.
A wide range can feel challenging, but that doesn’t mean everything is difficult.
Since the highest parts sit within the upper-mid range—borderline high at most—once you identify the right key for you, it’s actually easy to sing.
If anything, the song spans more of the low range, making it especially recommended for women with lower voices.
Circle of First LoveShibasaki Kou
Ko Shibasaki has been highly active not only as an actress but also as an artist.
Many women in their 30s may have admired her as an icon.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend for aiming at a high score is Hito Koi Meguri.
While it has a distinctive melody, the pitch doesn’t fluctuate drastically, making it surprisingly smooth and easy to sing.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so it doesn’t depend heavily on the singer’s voice type—another factor that makes it a strong choice for high scores.
180°yamazaru
A heart-wrenching love ballad by Yamasaru that tugs at the listener’s heartstrings.
Its words quietly resonate, asking what true kindness really is.
Released in February 2016, it stands out as a memorable piece in his musical career.
The song portrays the conflict of a love that must end and the delicate feelings of not wanting to hurt the other person, showcasing Yamasaru’s refined sensitivity and expressive power.
The warm tone of the acoustic guitar and his unique blend of rap and singing deepen the story’s impact.
It is a heartwarming ballad that offers comfort to those who have experienced heartbreak or a farewell to someone dear.
monologueHata Motohiro × Matayoshi Naoki
Since his debut in the mid-2000s, Motohiro Hata has been active as one of the leading singer-songwriters in the Japanese music scene.
He’s known for his innate singing voice—often described as a “voice made of steel and glass”—marked by a slightly husky quality and delicate high tones.
He has many fans among fellow musicians, and there are surely people who practice karaoke every day aspiring to his voice.
The song we’re introducing today, Hitorigoto, is a distinctive collaboration between Hata and Naoki Matayoshi.
Matayoshi wrote the lyrics and also performs a spoken reading at the beginning of the track.
Overall, it’s an acoustic, singer-songwriter piece tinged with melancholy.
To be honest, a song like this does demand a high level of expressive ability, but because it’s built on a simple melodic line, it will sound good if you focus on delivering Matayoshi’s literary lyrics as if you’re speaking to the listener.
If possible, try to recreate it including the spoken introduction!
a single petalBlu-Swing
Characterized by a delicate, beautiful melody that evokes a season of drifting cherry blossoms, this track was created by Blu-Swing as part of the charity project “Sakura Operation,” launched after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
The lyrics, themed around the transience of life and rebirth, leave a deep impression alongside the crystal-clear vocals of Yuri Tanaka.
Included on the album “BLU-SWING 10th ANNIVERSARY BEST,” released in May 2019, the song is positioned as one of the band’s signature pieces.
While incorporating elements of jazz, it attains a refined J-pop sensibility that is especially appealing for its calm atmosphere.
It’s a track you’ll want to play on quiet nights or peaceful mornings, particularly recommended for those who appreciate the emotional depth of ballads and the sophistication of jazz tones.

A song that brings together two great forces who have led Japan’s music scene for many years in a miraculous collaboration.
Marking GLAY’s 30th anniversary, their partnership with Kazumasa Oda—an artist known for his transparent, emotive vocals and countless classics—is the very embodiment of a dream come true.
The result is a grand ballad where GLAY’s rock sound and Oda’s warm voice blend exquisitely.
