DarlingMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song was created as an anthem to encourage young people grappling with the struggles and uncertainties of youth.
Released by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE in January 2025, it was written as the theme song for the special NHK General program “Mrs.
GREEN APPLE 18 Festival.” Characterized by emotional lyrics and a catchy melody, it features strikingly aggressive guitar and piano rhythms.
It’s sure to resonate when you’re feeling life’s hardships or searching for your true self.
With messages that boost self-esteem and celebrate the importance of connection with others, this piece is also perfect for belting out at karaoke when you want to clear your head.
coarse sugaraimyon
Aimyon’s classic “Zarame.” Aimyon has many great songs, but this one is especially captivating for its emotional vocals.
The part where that quality shines the most is, of course, the chorus.
The chorus features emotional singing that makes effective use of falsetto.
Falsetto might sound challenging, but because the pitch gap before and after the falsetto is wide, it’s surprisingly easy to produce.
The rest is built around mid-tempo phrases in the low to mid register, so unless your voice is extremely raspy, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.
Leaves of potpourriaimyon
The classic “Popuri no Ha” begins with guitar arpeggios touched by a warm effect.
Rather than leaning into her folk roots, this piece lands closer to the languid Japanese rock of the late 2000s.
Although falsetto appears in the chorus, the song doesn’t demand much vocal power, so it’s also recommended to recreate it with a restrained mixed voice, which is much easier to produce than falsetto.
If you’re not confident in your lung capacity or vocal stamina, consider adding it to your repertoire.
figure; appearance; form; shape; 姿 (sugata) can mean a person’s figure/appearance, the shape/form of something, or a visible state / 姿を見せる = to show oneselfaimyon
A masterpiece whose refined and calm musicality evokes the night, “Sugata.” In terms of genre, it’s an orthodox J-pop piece, and the vocal line is crafted simply to suit the Japanese vocal range.
While the melody is generally steady with few dramatic shifts, a slightly higher falsetto appears in the chorus, so take care there.
Singing higher is fine, but if the key is set too low, producing the falsetto becomes unnecessarily difficult.
Be sure to determine the appropriate key and sing accordingly.
Hide-and-seekYuuri
Yuri’s debut work, which likens a heartrending unrequited love to a game of hide-and-seek, is a soul-stirring ballad that delicately portrays loneliness and the pain of parting.
In a room left behind after his live-in girlfriend has gone, the man’s feelings—surrounded by objects that still evoke her presence—are woven together by a gentle, translucent voice.
Released in December 2019, the piece is a labor of love born from street performances following the breakup of the rock band THE BUGZY.
The warm timbre of the acoustic guitar closely follows the man’s earnest emotions.
It’s a song recommended for those who wish to soothe the pain of heartbreak—perfect for a nighttime drive or for quietly sipping a drink alone at home.
