Flame WarriorSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s “Honoo no Senshi” (Flame Warrior), with lyrics penned by guitarist Nakajin, has been embraced by a wide range of generations for its “straightforward words that resonate” and for being “a song that encouraged me during my student days.” Released in July 2012, the track carries the message that “even if things end in failure, what you’ve built up is never wasted,” capturing the hearts of those who persistently strive toward their goals.
Among Sekai no Owari’s works, its relatively narrow vocal range also makes it a song that’s easy to try at karaoke.
treasurewacci
This is one of wacci’s signature songs, singing about bonds between people and feelings of gratitude, wrapped in a melody that gently embraces everyday moments.
Centered on a calm piano line, its warm, acoustic sound resonates pleasantly.
Written and composed by the band’s vocalist Yohei Hashiguchi, it expresses memories with loved ones and the beauty of the time you’ve overcome together.
The track was included on the album “Nichijo Dramatic,” released in August 2017.
It drew attention when speed skater Miho Takagi, who won a gold medal at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics, chose it as her go-to song for competition.
It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to when you want to convey gratitude to someone or reflect on cherished memories.
It’s also a popular choice for wedding BGM, sure to leave you with a warm feeling.
hozakebaabapapa
Released by Barbapapa in February 2025, this work centers on the theme of lending and borrowing video games.
It’s built on the anger of a situation where a lent game never comes back, the save data gets erased and the game gets sold, and you can no longer contact the person.
It’s one of those classic Heisei-era scenarios that makes you squint with recognition.
The music video evokes SFC’s Super Donkey Kong, and the addictive sound is fantastic too! It’s a Zundamon song you’ll be looping for sure.
At homeKouzai Kaori
Kaori Kozai is known for her proactive approach to kayōkyoku and pop music.
Among her works, the song “At the Platform” has gained particular popularity as a poignantly moving pop ballad that brings listeners to tears.
Although it’s pop, it’s not complex like contemporary pop; it’s crafted in the style of Showa-era pop, akin to artists like Machiko Watanabe and Hiromi Iwasaki, so the melodic rises and falls are quite gentle.
There are many rests, but since there are also many long tones, be mindful to steady your breathing before starting any long sustained notes.
White DayMachigerīta P
It’s a very gentle tune and, just as the title suggests, a White Day song.
It’s a track by Machigerita-P, a popular Vocaloid producer known for horror-themed lyrics, released in 2008.
While Machigerita-P is celebrated for his outlandish musical style, those familiar with his work might be a bit surprised when they hear this song.
That’s how cute, warm, and pleasant to listen to this Vocaloid track is.
That bittersweet love story—so easy to fall in love with, isn’t it?
Lesser cuckooMurakami Sachiko
Sachiko Murakami is an enka singer whose breathy vocals evoke Aki Yashiro, leaving a strong impression.
Rather than sheer power, she excels in melancholy and sensuality, and she also possesses high vocal ability.
She produced several classic songs in the 1980s, so many of you may be familiar with her.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Hototogisu.
While it’s not a song with few kobushi (ornamental vocal turns), because the kobushi are used in sections where the volume is pulled back, it’s actually easier to sing than it sounds.

fray; small tear; opening (in fabric); blooming (of buds); a slight smile40mP
This song begins with a beautiful piano accompaniment.
It’s a work by the popular Vocaloid producer 40mP, released in 2013.
I’ve heard it was created with graduation as its theme.
The lyrics are written as a message to someone special, expressing a wish to meet again.
If you’ve ever had the experience of not being able to confess to someone you like, it might really resonate.
If you’re looking for a song to sing at a graduation ceremony, definitely consider this one.
And…the gentle vocals and harmonies of Hatsune Miku and GUMI are wonderful.
I could listen to it forever.
