It’s a song in which Kenshi Yonezu sings boldly while reflecting deeply on the path he’s walked and the life he’s lived.
It also drew attention for being chosen as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s film “The Boy and the Heron.” The gentle vocals layered over a calm, piano-centered sound and the words that evoke fantastical scenery help heighten a tender emotion.

Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki
Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.
While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.
That said, it preserves the charm of the original.
Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
The hit song “Bunny Girl” has become so popular nationwide that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram.
It’s well known as the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
Among recent hits, this piece has a particularly narrow vocal range.
When the original key is too low, people sometimes sing it an octave higher, and this song can be sung comfortably even at that higher octave.
If you adjust the key, it becomes even easier to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
GRUNGE WORLDBiSH
The song “GRUNGE WORLD,” which serves as the closing number of the major third album “CARROTS and STiCKS,” was featured as the CM song for the Ashi Rira Sheet “100% na Asa” commercial.
Its introspective lyrics, which confront one’s own sense of self-worth, pierce the heart alongside a laid-back shuffle-beat ensemble.
Since the melody doesn’t move much and has no large interval jumps, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
However, be sure to stay aware of the beat so you don’t drift away from the bouncy rhythm.
Dance, Dance, DancePeople In The Box
It’s a pleasant track whose sound evokes the scenery of a foreign land.
The expansive vocals, the enigmatic lyrics, and the gently flowing atmosphere blend together to create a curious feeling.
It’s a song that makes you want to sing along while carefully listening to the lyrics and reflecting on them.
Song SevenRADWIMPS
It’s a famous RADWIMPS song that poetically portrays inner conflict while skillfully weaving in numbers.
The protagonist, burdened by low self-esteem, finds their heart saved through meeting a loved one—expressed through English phrases and Japanese wordplay.
Included on the album “Altocorony no Teiri” (Altcolony no Teiri), the track was released in March 2009, and the album won LIFE MUSIC OF THE YEAR (Grand Prize) at the FM FESTIVAL LIFE MUSIC AWARD hosted by the National Federation of FM Broadcasting.
Running over six minutes, the song lets you savor every feeling embedded in each sound.
It’s a perfect pick for solo karaoke or for sessions with friends who want to deeply appreciate the essence of music.
