This song is the one that resonates at the heart of the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Mountain Doctor.” Released in July 2024, it is also included on the album “Rejoice.” It portrays the frustration and deep love of a protagonist who often finds themselves out of sync with someone important amid hectic days, and as you listen, you may feel as though it reflects your own experience.

This work carries a profound sense of guilt born from caring for someone, along with gratitude for being supported, all set to a warm melody—an incredibly moving piece.

If you feel overwhelmed by daily life and unable to spend as much time as you’d like with someone you cherish, this is a song you should definitely listen to.

A refreshing song well-known as the theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV.” Centered on the idea of greetings for the various encounters in life, it conveys a reassuring strength that seems to sweep away any gloom that may befall you when walking side by side with someone.

Included on the HELLO EP released in August 2020, the track has been loved by many, surpassing 100 million streams.

As it’s a morning news program’s song, listening to it at the start of a new day or when taking on a challenge will surely fill you with courage.

Make it your companion for a brand-new morning.

This is the song chosen as the theme for the feature-length anime “Hyaku-emu,” and it’s a quintessentially Hige-dan style challenge.

The rhythm is relatively steady, but there are lots of words, making the breathing difficult, and the range is extremely wide.

In the C section and the chorus, many people will probably think, “It goes up here?!” Once you start singing there’s almost no downtime, with melodies coming one after another, so you’ll need serious resolve (lol).

First, make sure you thoroughly memorize the lyrics and melody! The A section seems like it can be sung fairly gently, but from the B section you’ll have trouble unless you plan your breaths.

Don’t sing everything at 100%; sing with the image of releasing your voice bit by bit, then let it all out on the high notes for good balance! Be sure not to miss even the briefest moments where you can catch a breath.

Official HIGE DANDism – Parabola [Official Video]

This is the third digital single by Official HIGE DANDism, a four-piece piano pop band that has taken the J-pop scene by storm with complex yet catchy songs like “Pretender” and “Cry Baby.” The track was created as the commercial song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ Calpis Water, and its fresh arrangement perfectly matches the ad’s image.

While it includes some slightly challenging techniques, such as sudden melodic leaps and tricky breathing points, it feels great to sing once you’ve mastered it.

Practice steadily and get comfortable with the pitches and rhythms!
