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.

Released in December 2025, this work by Official HIGE DANDism drew attention as their first non-tie-in single in about seven years.

It’s a mid-tempo rock number that reflects the band’s unfiltered present, imbued with a heartfelt wish to overcome one’s own weaknesses and stand as equals alongside someone important.

Immerse yourself in their down-to-earth message and the unadorned atmosphere it conveys.

Official HIGE DANDism’s must-listen masterpieces (31–40)

DriverOfisharu Higedan Dism

It’s a track that delivers a refreshing, positive message, comparing hope for the future and serendipitous encounters to a driver.

The overall vocal range is E3–B4, which isn’t too high for Higedan’s standards.

The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the chorus repeatedly hits the top note of B4, so you’ll need to be careful not to let your pitch drop.

The melody itself is very simple, so if you’re good with higher notes, once you’ve learned the song you might find it really satisfying to sing! If high notes are tough for you, start with falsetto at first.

Try lifting your eyebrows firmly and imagine projecting your voice straight upward from your brows, using plenty of breath!

It’s a track included on the 1st mini-album “Love and Peace Are Within You,” depicting the joy and heartbreak of love at the same time.

The overall vocal range is E3 to D5, with sustained high notes toward the latter half.

Since the A and B sections start in the lower register, be careful not to strain your throat from the very beginning.

Lifting your facial muscles naturally opens your throat.

If you feel the space opening in the back when you open your mouth, you’re on the right track! Keep that open feeling, send your breath steadily toward that space, and project your voice forward—this will let you produce sound easily without catching in your throat.

Everyday lifeOfisharu Higedan Dism

Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “Nichijou” was released as a double A-side single together with “Chessboard,” whose music video had been unveiled earlier.

It was written specifically as the theme song for the TV program news zero, for which the band themselves have once been closely profiled.

The lyrics feature someone who feels gloomy about tomorrow—something many working adults and students can likely relate to.

Yet the song goes on to suggest that even though there are plenty of tough things, small moments can make you look forward to tomorrow, and that everyone is living their own everyday life.

Listening to it gives a gentle, comforting feeling, as if your heart is being softly wrapped.

The bright, uplifting vocals raise your spirits.

It’s a song by Official HIGE DANDism, a pop band from Shimane Prefecture.

It was released as their third single in 2019.

If you sing it with conviction, your feelings are sure to reach the listeners’ hearts.

It was the cheer song for the 2019 summer high school baseball tournament, so baseball fans may already know it.

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.
