Our Uniform Christmas＝LOVE
Doesn’t the idea of spending Christmas in a school uniform make many hearts flutter? Walking through town at dusk with someone you like—the exhilaration and the slightly bittersweet mood blend beautifully in this quintessential winter song.
Producer Rino Sashihara poured her strong desire to create “a Christmas song” into this track, which was released in December 2017 as =LOVE’s second single and became one of the group’s signature early hits.
It lets you relive a sparkling page of youth, bringing back those sweet and sour memories from your school days.
Give it a listen when you want to feel the excitement of a budding romance all over again.

This song isn’t one that cheers you on by saying “Do your best!”—it’s a song that makes you feel like you want to try your best.
In junior high, I think there are times when you get overwhelmed by studying, your future path, love, and all sorts of other things.
When that happens, try listening to this song.
I think it’s an energizing track that encourages you and makes you feel motivated to give it your all.
silhouetteKANA-BOON
How about lifting your spirits with a fast-paced, exhilarating guitar rock track? Created by the rock band KANA-BOON—also known for songs like “Naimononedari” and “Full Drive”—this piece was released in 2014.
It became a hit after being chosen as an opening theme for the anime Naruto Shippuden.
It’s a message song that makes you realize you, too, carry something irreplaceable in your heart.
Keep this song close, and throw yourself into what only you can do right now!
Youth PhotographLittle Glee Monster
The lyrics, which express both the joy and the sadness of graduation, are striking.
It’s a song by the girls’ vocal group Little Glee Monster, released as their second single in 2015.
The melody is very pop, but the lyrics—trying to face parting with friends with a smile—are heartbreaking.
Still, that doesn’t mean it leaves you feeling down.
It’s a wonderful, positive song that makes you feel, “Let’s turn this experience, these memories, into strength and move forward!”

Hajime’s “Kizuna” is perfect for when you want to express gratitude to someone important, like friends or upperclassmen from your club.
As the title suggests, it’s themed around the bonds between people, singing about appreciation for having met and the greatness of that connection.
Because the lyrics don’t specify the exact relationship with the other person, it’s easy to relate the song to all kinds of relationships.
Its laid-back vibe and conversational wording also make it a great choice to listen to with someone special when you want to relax.
If I could become a constellationkessoku bando
Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.
Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.
The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.
Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.
The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!
My BooShimizu Shota
In “My Boo,” feelings like wanting to stay by her side and saying “I love you” express a desire to cherish the time spent with her, resulting in straightforward lyrics from a male perspective.
Since Shota Shimizu has many songs with themes of love like this, I think that’s why he’s popular among people in their teens and twenties!
