T.M.Revolution is popular around the world regardless of generation, age, or even nationality.

He’s also strongly associated with summer hits like “HOT LIMIT.” Among T.M.Revolution’s many classic songs, the one I especially want to highlight this time is “HIGH PRESSURE.” You might know it from the music video featuring vocalist Takanori Nishikawa singing in the rain.

It’s an up-tempo track, but because it doesn’t have a lot of dynamic shifts, even karaoke beginners can sing it well.

Yorushika is a rock band consisting of composer n-buna, also known as a Vocaloid producer, and vocalist suis, whose emotional singing is highly appealing.

Their third digital-release-only single, “Hana ni Bourei” (“Ghost in a Flower”), was selected as the theme song for the animated film “A Whisker Away.” The melody is generally relaxed and easy to sing, but the breathing timing is tricky, so be careful not to let the melody break off during karaoke.

It’s a ballad with an ensemble that comfortably conveys the lyrical world, a song you’ll want to keep listening to.
