The truthKamenashi Kazuya

It’s a song released in August 2025, and amazingly, it’s their first solo track in about two years! Listening to it, the range centers around low-mid to high-mid, so it might feel a bit high for those not used to higher notes.
That said, the melody is simple with no particularly difficult parts, and the chorus repeats the same phrase, making it very easy to remember.
For singing style: deliver the verse (A section) in a spoken, unforced way without belting; in the pre-chorus (B section), there’s a spot that rises to D4—accenting that part will let the notes come out nicely! In the chorus, there’s a small leap from C4 to A4—hit that confidently as an accent! The range should be relatively comfortable for the average male singer, and with its rock feel, it should be really satisfying to sing.
It’s a passionate theme, so definitely give it a try!
era; age; time; periodarashi

This is a single released in August 2001, known as the theme song for the drama “The Kindaichi Case Files,” starring group member Jun Matsumoto.
It’s an undeniably cool track that fuses rock guitar with rap.
The lyrics convey a strong determination to make decisions with one’s own heart and not be swept along, precisely because the world is so convenient.
This was also their last release under Pony Canyon, making it a song that symbolizes a turning point for the group.
At karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going if everyone splits up the rap parts.
The key sits in a comfortable range for male singers, but rhythm is crucial—so listen closely and then give it a try.
&JoyKis-my-ft2

The title track of Kis-My-Ft2’s 33rd single, marking the group’s 15th anniversary.
Even when our busy daily lives leave us feeling worn out, it carries a blissful message encouraging us to find small joys and savor vibrant days.
Its positive lyrics—urging us to count the luck we already have, especially on cloudy days, rather than dwell on what’s missing—lift your spirits just by listening.
It will be released digitally in advance in November 2025, followed by a CD release in four editions in December.
A pop tune that gently gives you a push when work, school, or housework has you feeling down.
It’s love.V6

A V6 classic that evokes nostalgia while still retaining a timeless charm.
Composed by Koji Tamaki, this song sings about loneliness, the complexities of human relationships, and the importance of love.
Released in January 1997 and included on the album “NATURE RHYTHM,” it has long been beloved as one of V6’s signature tracks.
The connection born from their collaboration on the drama “Coach” led to the creation of this masterpiece.
For karaoke, the 2001 version—where every member has a solo part—is recommended.

A fresh rock number that vividly captures the sparkle of a moment in love.
It’s packed with youthful scenes everyone can relate to—your heart racing when your eyes meet, the ache of passing by each other, and the frustration of feelings you can’t put into words.
