Gather the starsotsumami feat.mikan
A warm winter song that gently accompanies people walking through a city in the cold.
otsumami feat.
mikan is a project by a production team with a proven track record in providing J-pop songs, featuring Yuka Togashi from the idol group “Title TBD,” who performs under the name mikan.
Released in December 2025, this piece was selected as the theme song for the “Kobe TOTTEI Christmas Market 2025,” held at TOTTEI PARK in Kobe.
The resonant sounds of live instruments—piano, strings, and wind chimes—are soothing, and its message, like a light for those quietly persevering, sinks deep into the heart.
Another appeal is that it doesn’t rely too heavily on Christmas imagery, making it a universal anthem of encouragement that resonates in any season.

Stardust StageChekkāzu
Among Showa-era idol band songs, this is a standout classic where “the bittersweetness of youth × the drive of rock” shines at its best.
“Hoshikuzu no Stage” was the theme song for the first season of the TBS drama “Uchi no Ko ni Kagitte…” and, remarkably, was The Checkers’ first-ever drama tie-in track.
Unlike their other songs, it has a relaxed tempo, making it easier to sing calmly.
You can take your time and sing carefully while looking at the lyrics, but the key suddenly changes in the final chorus and the pitch goes up, so after the modulation, try raising your energy level by one notch when you sing!
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE
“Hoshizora no Distance” is a signature song that epitomizes THE ALFEE’s driving rock sound.
The lead vocal is by bassist Masaru Sakurai.
The energy is high right from the intro, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live, but be careful not to rush the tempo as the excitement builds.
The original tempo isn’t actually that fast—more of a steady feel.
The vocal range climbs after a key change in the middle, so you’ll want to lock in those pitches without hesitation.
Visualize clearly and sing with intention.
The overall range of the song is F#3 to A#4, and since the final melody goes higher, keep the notes in mind and add a light accent there.
roarTomonari Sora
This song, released in October 2025 by the young singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari—dubbed the “Reiwa Pop Killer”—was written specifically as the ending theme for Season 6 of the TV anime Kingdom.
During production, the team worked with an American football club, actually recording the sounds of pads rubbing and heavy footsteps to heighten the sense of realism.
It’s the perfect track for when you’re taking on a challenge or want to fire yourself up.
Homeward Journey to the NorthKobayashi Akira
Akira Kobayashi supported the golden age of Nikkatsu action films and reigned as a silver-screen star.
He made his debut in 1956 with the film “Starving Soul,” and his tall stature and powerful physique cemented his nickname “Mighty Guy” for his tough-guy roles.
Alongside his acting career, he also thrived as a singer, boasting a wide repertoire ranging from film theme songs to mood kayō and sophisticated urban enka.
His baritone-leaning mid-to-low range, phrasing that shuttles between spoken delivery and song, and a singing style marked by raspy endings and a distinctive vibrato are truly one of a kind.
Standing 180 cm tall and holding a fifth-dan rank in judo, his martial-arts background contributed to the physicality that brought his on-screen action to life—one of his many charms.
