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.
HORIZONAAA
AAA’s “HORIZON” is, just as the title suggests, a farewell song that lets you gaze out over a vast horizon and take a bright, forward step.
With upbeat lyrics, a lively melody, and a powerful rap at the end, it helps you embrace parting in a positive light.
The future waiting beyond the horizon is something you can’t see unless you move forward.
Everyone feels lonely, but this is a song that makes you want to say goodbye with the feeling that “we’ll meet again.”
HologramABSTRACTS
A rock track by ABSTRACTS, a band with a low-end–reinforced lineup featuring twin 7-string guitars and a 5-string bass.
The effectively deployed kick drum shapes the groove and atmosphere of the song, while the tight performance further accentuates the low frequencies.
Floating, ethereal vocals ride atop the heavy instrumentation to create a unique sonic world—an ideal rock number for feeling a wall of sound in a system that brings out deep, pounding bass.
HOPEAI
AI’s powerful singing voice and deeply moving lyrics are beloved by a wide audience.
Her song “HOPE” is a track full of AI’s signature style—one that stays close to those feeling down and gives them courage.
She wrote it in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to offer hope to a world weighed down by anxiety and sadness.
It’s the kind of song that will gently reach those battling illness and serve as a talisman that helps them face forward.
Before the stars disappearAKB48 U-20 senbatsu
A gem of a song by the AKB48 U-20 selection that interweaves the fleeting and bittersweet nature of youth.
It beautifully captures the delicate emotions of a young couple who, for a brief moment just before dawn, experience a fateful encounter.
Amid a quiet yet tense atmosphere, the two believe in miracles and reaffirm their love.
Natural elements like the moon and stars are skillfully employed to create a fantastical and beautiful worldview, which is part of the song’s allure.
Released on March 13, 2024, this track appears as the common coupling song across all versions of AKB48’s 63rd single, “Color-Contact Wink.” A chance meeting, and the thrill of feeling it might be destiny—this is a song recommended for anyone who has ever felt the flutter of such a sweet, bittersweet premonition of love.
