Himawari (Sunflower) paints a scene of sunflowers blooming under the sun with the cool, artful melodies characteristic of Kenshi Yonezu.
It’s included on the 2020 album STRAY SHEEP.

Holding on to feelings for that person, let’s walk our own path tomorrow and the day after.
Even while carrying pain, it leaves us with a sense of hope for tomorrow.

Into the lightkessoku bando
Bocchi the Rock!, based on a hugely popular manga and aired in 2022, sparked a boom reminiscent of the heyday of K-On!.
The songs released under the in-story band Kessoku Band are all high quality, drawing attention not only from anime fans but also from listeners who usually focus on Western music.
The track introduced here, Into the Light, is Kessoku Band’s second single, released in May 2023.
Written and composed by Motoo Fujimori, frontman of SAKANAMON, it’s a modern guitar-rock piece built on technically intricate guitar phrases with post-rock and math-rock influences, delivering a refreshing rush.
The lyrics, crafted to fit the setting that the series’ protagonist Hitori Goto is the lyricist, are also excellent—be sure to read along with the song.
Because the sun will rise againRyokushokushakai
This is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s fifth single, released on April 20, 2022.
It was written as the theme song for the Toho-distributed animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden.
At first listen, it may come across as an upbeat, catchy pop song, but if you dig deeper into the composition, you’ll notice that the melody—especially in the chorus—features sharp jumps in pitch throughout.
Many people might realize it’s quite a formidable challenge for casual karaoke.
It could be a good idea to thoroughly review the original track—focusing on the high notes in particular—and plan out your vocal approach, such as which techniques to use and where, before you sing.
Keep the delivery bright and energetic from start to finish.
