cult founderbuzzG
This is a song by buzzG that swirls with charisma that seems to rule the heart and an irresistible pull.
The piece portrays the mind of a cult leader who drags followers into the darkness, vividly expressing the terrifying allure of dependency that makes you want to surrender body and soul even as you’re afraid.
It’s packed with highlights, from the somewhat languid, mysterious guitar rock sound to Teto’s cool vocals.
Immerse yourself fully in this story-driven rock!
You are in full color.Ohtaki Eiichi
Eiichi Ohtaki, an artist who laid the foundation for Japanese city pop.
He also worked as a producer and label head, launching talented singer-songwriters such as Tatsuro Yamashita.
Among Ohtaki’s renowned masterpieces is “Kimi wa Ten’nen Shoku” (“You’re Natural Color”).
Although often thought to require a wide vocal range, the actual range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.
The melody is expansive, so a certain lung capacity is needed, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it a comparatively easy song to sing.
Keep Your LoveCHEMISTRY
This is a CHEMISTRY song that sings of the deep anguish of someone who falls in love despite knowing they can never be together.
Released in November 2010 as their 30th single in collaboration with the dance unit Synergy, it was also used as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “DANCE@TV.” In its concept, Dochin takes on the role of the “devil” and Kawabata the “angel,” trading lines that embody two emotions clashing within the heart.
For anyone tormented by a forbidden love, swaying between reason and instinct, this song is likely to pierce deeply.
Let’s start with a kissCHEMISTRY
Even though they know it’s a forbidden love, they can’t stop their feelings.
This CHEMISTRY song portrays that painful longing.
The protagonists’ inner conflict and impulsive emotions are depicted dramatically through the duo’s exquisite harmonies and rhythmic back-and-forth.
The track is included on the single “Koisuru Yuki, Aisuru Sora,” released in November 2008.
It was selected as the Japanese image song for the film “The Other Boleyn Girl.” Anyone struggling with a complicated romance will surely relate deeply.

One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO
Released digitally in June 2025, SHISHAMO’s “Kimi ni Kikitai Hitotsu no Koto” is a slightly fast song with a tempo of 183, but since the vocal range is A#3–D#5, which is comfortable for many female singers, it’s quite singable as long as you lock into the rhythm.
The song is in 4/4 time; rather than feeling it loosely, it’s easier to catch the groove if you follow the drums and divide the beats more finely, slicing each note.
In the chorus especially, be mindful of the rhythm, and because the melody runs continuously, if you find it hard to find spots to breathe, try not to sustain the ends of phrases—cut them off instead.
As you get used to it, you’ll gradually find places to breathe, so until then, focus on a clipped, rhythmic delivery!
KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke
Among men in their 60s—especially those in the early half—many were likely deeply impacted by Kyosuke Himuro.
Of all his songs, the one I particularly recommend is KISS ME.
It’s a great choice for achieving a high score when singing.
The biggest reason is its vocal range: from mid1 C to mid2 G, which is exceptionally narrow even among male vocal tracks.
While the way Himuro sings—slightly muffling the sound through the nose—isn’t exactly the orthodox method, it’s an easy-to-sing technique.
Simply emulating the original performance should be enough to aim for a high score.
Kinokawa (Kii River)Sakamoto Fuyumi
Set against a river flowing through Fuyumi Sakamoto’s hometown of Wakayama, this song is an epic, story-driven piece that portrays the bond passed down from mother to daughter to grandchild across three generations.
Released in March 2008, it serves as the concluding installment of the “Masterpiece Series,” based on Sawako Ariyoshi’s novels, and was also used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Kaiun Ongakudo.” Its universal theme— a mother’s deep love, single-mindedly praying for her child’s happiness, intertwining with the eternal flow of a river—resonates powerfully with listeners.
The fact that Sakamoto was appointed a “Hometown Ambassador” for Wakayama Prefecture in November of the same year further conveys the work’s heartfelt connection to her roots.
It is a song to hear when you want to be reminded of family bonds or to reflect on your hometown; its warm vocals will gently permeate the heart.
