Poem of the StarsGRe4N BOYZ
This song by GRe4N BOYZ was newly written as the ending theme for the 5th National High School Light Music Club Tournament, “we are SNEAKER AGES.” Released in December 2025 as a cheer song for light music clubs at 2,400 schools nationwide, its exhilarating sound and irresistibly bright melody affirm the youthful days devoted to club activities.
A key highlight is that TERU from GLAY participates on vocals.
The piece embodies the shared sentiment between GRe4N BOYZ—formed with friends from their school days and still active—and GLAY: the value of the “view shared with your friends.” It’s a must-listen for anyone striving toward a goal.
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.
Though a gentle ballad, it has a distinctive forward momentum, and if performed in the latter half of a karaoke session, it will softly wrap the listeners’ hearts.
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.

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.
pedestrian overpassNogizaka 46
Haven’t we all experienced those moments when we find ourselves stopping at a crossroads in life? This song, released by Nogizaka46 in December 2024 as their 37th single, delicately portrays that very hesitation of the heart.

The lyrics are by Yasushi Akimoto, and the music is composed by Katsuhiko Sugiyama, known for Kimi no Na wa Kibou and Kikkake.
In its first week, it sold 484,000 copies on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, achieving the group’s 36th consecutive No.
