“Love You To The Bone” FULL VERSION / LIVE SESSION
Love me to the bone.Grace Aimi

Grace Aimi, who blends Okinawa’s laid-back vibe with refined pop sensibilities, is a biracial singer born to an American father and a Japanese mother.

She gained a large following even before her debut thanks to ukulele cover videos she posted on YouTube with her younger brother.

She debuted in 2020 with the single “Eternal Sunshine,” and under the production of Chaki Zulu, she has released works including the album “If.” It’s pretty remarkable that in May 2021, as part of a Spotify campaign, she was featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square.

Her husky yet sweet voice and lyrics that weave in English are sure to resonate comfortably with fans of Western music.

A drama of parting and resolve told through English lyrics.

While facing the passage of time and the fear of endings, the protagonist makes a striking impression as they try to step forward with memories of someone precious held close.

The refreshing melody, a departure from the band’s traditionally harder image, feels pleasant and reveals more depth with every listen.

Released in January 2017 as the closing track of their fourth full-length album, “Honesty,” the song was also chosen as the ending theme for the TV program “AIR.” It’s an encouraging anthem for anyone entering a season of farewells or preparing to take a new step forward.

Roar – HOKOTomonari Sora

HOKO, the ending theme for Season 6 of the anime Kingdom, is an emotional track known for its soul-shaking intensity and weighty atmosphere.

It’s recommended for men who want to train their overall expressiveness, vocal power, and sense of rhythm.

The overall vocal range is A2–D#5, which looks very wide at first glance, but most of the song sits in the low register.

Songs that focus on low notes like this can lose contrast when you sing them, giving a somewhat sluggish impression.

In such cases, intensity is of course important, but choosing where in the melody to place accents also creates a sense of contrast, making the song easier to sing and more pleasant to listen to overall.

Try exaggerating the accent on the first beat—you’ll find your voice projects more than you expect, so keep that in mind.

A refreshing love song woven into a winter scene brimming with clarity and coolness.

With snow and white landscapes as its motifs, it layers hope for a sparkling future over tender feelings of love—just listening to it feels purifying.

Junichi Sato’s refined melody and Aki Hata’s fantastical lyrics bring out i☆Ris’s crystal-clear vocals to the fullest.

It’s the title track of their 24th single, “White Lyrical Kingdom / Kiseki-no-Filament,” released in January 2024, and it was first performed at their 11th-anniversary concert.

It reached No.

10 on the Oricon weekly chart, delivering on fans’ expectations.

Sing it at Christmas or at winter karaoke to instantly brighten the atmosphere.

It’s also great for multiple singers to enjoy the harmonies!

Blues of the StarsYoshii Kazuya

When you look up at the night sky at the end of the year, don’t you feel the stars shining just the same as ever? This song from Kazuya Yoshii’s 2011 single “LOVE & PEACE” gently keeps you company in that quiet moment.

As it layers thoughts upon the stars glittering in the night, it portrays the feeling of quietly reflecting on the days gone by and on yourself over the past year.

With a sound woven from guitar and keys that carry a bluesy resonance, it values depth that sinks into the heart over flashiness, resonating comfortably when you want to step away from the bustle of the year’s end and take a deep breath.

No matter what kind of year it’s been, if you feel like looking up at the sky to take stock of your path, give this song a listen.

The refreshing guitar sound, warm vocals, and nostalgic melody resonate pleasantly, giving it a curious charm that makes you want to listen during the colder months.

Performed since the era of their early album Departure, it has remained a staple at their live shows.

Whether you’re spending a winter night reminiscing about a distant summer or feeling a sudden pang of wistfulness at the turn of the seasons, the song’s gentle warmth will be there to keep you company.

A call to the night sky weaves hope and bonds.

Created by Udon Timer P, it was released by KARENT in August 2025 to celebrate Hatsune Miku’s 18th anniversary, with the music video premiering in October.

This is a dreamlike ballad centered on piano, where shimmering synth pads and bell-like embellishments envelop Miku’s transparent vocals.

Please listen on a quiet night while thinking of someone dear to you.
