HouyouKawaharada Shinichi
Japanese actor Shinichi Kawaharada’s second single, released on October 21, 2020.
And in fact, this song is one I worked on—I handled the arrangement and sound production, vocal direction, and keyboard performance.
I aimed to make it a generally mid-tempo, easy-to-sing piece, but there are a few deliberate twists, such as how certain phrases resolve melodically.
Please pay close attention to pitch and vocal delivery in those sections when singing.
HorizonHotei Tomoyasu
Horizon resonates with a rock sound that conveys an epic sense of scale.
Released in 2023 by Tomoyasu Hotei, a guitarist active across a wide range of fields, it features orchestral arrangements that envelop his technical guitar playing, evoking images of vast nature and rich earth.
You’ll experience a sound that gives you the courage and hope to start something new or rise up from adversity.
Why not lend an ear to this instrumental track that unfolds a dynamic, expansive world?
Phew.Hirai Ken
It’s a ballad that gently embraces all the feelings that come after a fight.
Sometimes a small spat can escalate before you know it, right? When you end up saying too much, the tender yet warm melody and lyrics feel like they’re wrapping you up, and it really hits home.
Ken Hirai’s clear, translucent voice is irresistible, too.
As the saying goes, the more you fight, the closer you are—there are surely things you only realize after a quarrel.
Once you’ve calmed down, try sharing your honest feelings.

HomeHirai Dai
“Home” is a track included on the 2017 album “ON THE ROAD.” With its pleasant, country-style upbeat rhythm, the song spans an average vocal range.
Nearly half of the lyrics are in English, and the highest note is hi C#; with repeated practice, you’ll grow more comfortable.
The pitch movement isn’t extreme and stays stable, so ride the quick tempo and sing with a strong sense of rhythm.
If you approach it with a soft, relaxed feel like Dai Hirai, it should become even easier to sing.
The stars know everything.Hirao Masaaki
This is a song by Masayuki Hirao, a singer who took the nation by storm in the late 1950s as one of the “Three Rockabilly Guys.” Released as a single in 1958, it became a million seller.
The emotionally rich melody is perfectly matched by his powerful, resonant vocals characteristic of a rockabilly singer.
You can really sense the vocal ability and the talent that fueled the movement Hirao helped create.
If you’re curious, try looking up and listening to his earlier tracks—you’ll get an even better feel for the rockabilly scene of the time.
jewelIkuta Rira
The song “Hoseki” included on the 1st album “Sketch.” Its lyrics, which evoke a new departure, together with the lyrical ensemble, create a sentimental yet positive atmosphere.
The finely rising and falling melody is tricky and easy to go off pitch, but since the range isn’t wide and there aren’t any large interval leaps, it’s a good one to try at karaoke if you sing it calmly.
If you’re comfortable with the singing itself, be mindful of dynamics as well—this is an emotional number.
Flames Go! Fight!Tokugaki Tomoko
When I see a title like this, I can’t help but think, “Now this is a true anison.” It’s the theme song for the TV anime “Honō no Tōkyūji Dodge Danpei,” based on a manga themed around super dodgeball.
It’s sung by Tomoko Tokugaki, known both as a musical theater actress and an anison singer, and it was released as a single in 1991.
The opening animation—with the ball blazing at incredible speed—brings back nostalgic memories.
Listening again, the hard-edged guitar and the roaming bass line in the B section are seriously cool.
