Secret Telepathiruka aisu
A Vocaloid song that portrays a sweet relationship between two people who understand each other without saying a word.
It’s a track by Iruka Ice, known for sparkling electropop, released in April 2025.
It was produced as the official demo song for “VOCALOID6 Voicebank Kotonoha Akane & Aoi.” With lyrics filled with sweets like marshmallows and parfaits, just listening makes you feel happy.
The bouncy beat and electronic tones are pleasant too, and the moments when the twins’ voices overlap are incredibly cute.
Why not listen to it as a chance to share the feelings you’ve kept in your heart, together with a White Day gift?
flutteringyoshida takurou
A gentle, life-tinged masterpiece, “Hirahira.” Its tempo is relaxed, smoothly singing of “time that flows on” and “feelings you can’t grasp.” It isn’t flashy, but it quietly sinks in.
The overall vocal range is quite calm, from A#2 to F#4.
Since the low register is a hallmark, be mindful not to let the pitch drop too much.
If the pitch sinks into the throat, the lows get muffled, making it harder to sing and harder to listen to—so focus on resonance! When you let your body resonate, the chest and head resonate more.
The low notes naturally resonate in the chest, so if you add resonance in the head, your volume will increase, you’ll hear your own voice better, and it’ll be easier to sing! Raising your hand toward your head while singing helps your head resonate more, so it’s recommended!
Close your eyesHirai Ken
A ballad that portrays the sorrow of losing a loved one and the aching yearning to keep chasing their memory.
Ken Hirai’s emotional vocals gently accompany hearts spending lonely nights.
Released in April 2004 as his 20th single, it was written as the theme song for the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” With total shipments exceeding one million copies, it became a social phenomenon, topping the annual charts that year.
It will especially resonate with those who, in unguarded moments, recall a past love and feel their chest tighten.
A gem of a track, perfect for adult men who want to listen alone while quietly having a drink.
