Cry BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism, affectionately known as Higedan, is a four-member rock band that gained attention with Pretender.
Released in 2021, Cry Baby became a hot topic as the theme song for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers.
Their signature catchy, earworm melodies and masculine lyrics are addictive.
Even if you don’t know the anime, you’ll find yourself wanting to listen again and again—thanks to Higedan’s distinctive vocal prowess and musicianship! It’s a cool track that always gets the crowd going at karaoke.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP
The 35th single by SMAP, a five-member idol group that, despite achieving nationwide popularity with the glamour typical of idol groups and the skills they showcased on variety shows, disbanded in 2016.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Boku no Ikiru Michi” (“The Way I Live”) and is widely known as one of SMAP’s signature tracks.
It’s so famous that it appears in elementary school songbooks, making it a tune almost every Japanese person has likely heard and easy for both children and adults to sing.
It’s a number whose piercing message you’ll want to remember—an enduring classic worthy of its triple-million sales.
Trace that dreamYOASOBI
A stylish number produced based on Sota Ishiki’s novel “Drops of Dreams and Flowers of Stars.” It’s a track by the music unit YOASOBI, also known for hits like “Racing into the Night” and “Monster,” released in 2020 as their second single.
The melody line is very rhythmic, so kids who hear it might want to sing along.
The open, liberating chorus feels especially good to sing.
Imagine the lyrics and the story of the original novel, and sing it with feeling.
BlessingYOASOBI
A two-person music unit whose songs and concepts epitomize the social media era and are drawing attention both in Japan and abroad: YOASOBI.
This track was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury and is based on Ichirou Okouchi’s Cradle Star, who handled the script and series composition.
YOASOBI’s songs are fast-paced with intricate melodies, but younger listeners should be used to that.
What’s more, this entry—arguably a new frontier for the Gundam series—is something many parents and children are enjoying together.
It’s a cool pop tune that’ll look great if you can pull it off, so definitely give it a try!
I love youback number
A song by the three-piece rock band back number, written as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series “Maiagare!” The contrast between the refreshing string sound and the band sound in the outstanding opening leads into an arrangement that unfolds into a relaxed melody—it feels so pleasant, doesn’t it? The melody featuring falsetto, a back number trademark, might even be singable in chest voice for children with higher ranges.
The calm melody is very easy to sing, so if your family is enjoying the morning drama, be sure to try singing it together.
