COCONUTNiziU

Perfect for the season when the summer sun is dazzling, this is a summery track from NiziU’s album “COCONUT.” Just listening to it lifts your spirits, evoking a refreshing scene of blue skies and the sea.

Its vibrant sound makes summer memories with friends shine, and the nine members’ vocals convey the openness and positive energy of summer.

The album “COCONUT,” which includes this song, was released in July 2023 and debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon Albums Chart with 142,000 copies sold in its first week.

The album also features the movie theme song “Paradise” and the drama theme song “LOOK AT ME.” It’s a perfect pick to elevate karaoke, road trips, and all your summer outings—highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the season.

This year for sure, a gyaru — early summer ver.hanabie

It’s a track brimming with intense energy that feels like a herald of summer.

Hanabie’s signature “Harajuku-core” sound brilliantly fuses the aggression of metalcore with pop-friendly accessibility, firing up the listener’s adrenaline.

You can almost feel the protagonist’s resolve—“This year for sure”—coming through directly on the back of powerful performances and shouts.

The music video’s theme of blending gyaru culture across generations is also highly unique and a definite highlight.

Released ahead of the pack in July 2023 and included on their milestone major-label debut album, “Rai-se wa Ijin!” (In My Next Life, I’ll Be a Great Person!), this song truly symbolizes the group’s rising momentum.

Their first headlining tour featuring this track sold out every show, underscoring the buzz surrounding them.

When you want a rush of exhilarating catharsis or the courage to step into a new version of yourself, this song is sure to give you a strong push forward.

[MV] Pop Shinanaide “Happy Conduction”
Happy electrificationpoppu shinanai de

The band ‘Pops Shinanaide’ is known for their music that emphasizes a unique worldview.

They’re recognized for electronic-style composition, and their sound—mechanical yet fantastical and dreamlike—has earned high acclaim.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is ‘Kōfukuna Tsūden’ (Happy Conduction).

Because vocalist Ayako Kamegai has a high timbre, the song might seem high overall, but its range is actually very narrow, so anyone can sing it easily if they adjust it to a suitable key.

CONTINUE!!Retoro Mai Gāru!!

Retro My Girl is a rock band active mainly in northern Osaka (Hokusetsu).

While they’re not yet widely known to the general public, they’re affectionately called “Retomai” in the Japanese rock scene.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend for having a narrow vocal range is CONTINUE!!.

Because of its energetic feel, you might assume it’s a high-pitched song, but its range is actually quite limited, so if you set it to your optimal key, it won’t feel high at all.

In fact, it’s an ideal track for those who want to build power and presence in their midrange.

Clap your hands when you feel lonely.MIMI

When your heart feels a little worn out, it’s comforting to have music that gently stays by your side, isn’t it? This song by Vocaloid producer MIMI might be exactly that.

Released in June 2025, it features the soft, memorable voice of Kasane Teto SV.

The lyrics carry a tender message that offers a small courage to move forward—and it’s truly lovely.

If you listen to it when you’re feeling down, it will slowly fill you with warmth.

Please, give it a listen.
