Songs whose titles start with “Ko” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (291–300)
Symphonic Suite “Dragon Quest” / Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestrasugiyama kouichi
Koichi Sugiyama, renowned as a master of video game music and active as a conductor, had a career that spanned a wide range of genres, from pop songs to anime and game music.
He produced numerous hit songs, including The Tigers’ “Hanano Kubikazari” (A Garland of Flowers) and Garo’s “Gakuseigai no Kissaten” (The Coffee Shop in the Student Quarter).
What made Koichi Sugiyama’s name resound around the world was surely the music of the beloved RPG series Dragon Quest.
The triumphant fanfare of the grand overture that heralds the start of the adventure became a symbol of Japanese culture when it echoed through the stadium at the 2021 Olympic opening ceremony.
In 2016, it was also recognized by Guinness World Records.
He is a conductor recommended not only for game fans but also for anyone who wants to enjoy the splendor of classical music and melodies that resonate with the heart!
Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74 “Pathétique” / Sendai Philharmonic OrchestraEnkoji Masahiko
Masahiko Enkōji is a conductor who studied under maestros such as Hideo Saito and Otmar Suitner, and has enriched Japan’s classical music scene.
He launched his full-scale career in the 1980s as an associate conductor of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and became widely known through appearances on NHK’s television program “Famous Music Album.” The music Enkōji creates is born from a refined style cultivated in Europe and the warm trust he has built over many years with Japanese ensembles.
In June 2010, he conducted the “Olympic Concert,” showcasing his talent on major stages, while also devoting himself passionately to coaching junior orchestras.
With performances that combine playing and commentary to convey the allure of music, Enkōji’s stage may be a wonderful guide for those taking their first steps into the world of classical music.
Symphony No. 5 (Tchaikovsky) / New Japan Philharmonic OrchestraKobayashi Kenichirō
Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi, affectionately known as “Kobaken of Fire,” lives up to his nickname: the passionate music that bursts forth from the podium seems to breathe life into the orchestra.
His international career began when he won first prize at the Budapest International Conductors’ Competition in 1974.
Among his many milestones, it is widely known that in 2002 he became the first Asian conductor to lead Smetana’s Má vlast at the opening of the Prague Spring International Music Festival, receiving thunderous acclaim.
The sight of him expressing the music with his whole body, hair flying, conveys the dynamic allure of classical music.
He is a maestro I urge anyone to experience at least once—especially those who wish to be moved by the orchestra’s energy.
Kon! Kon! feat. BloodywoodBABYMETAL
This is a powerful collaborative track by two cross-border acts: Japan’s BABYMETAL and Indian metal band Bloodywood.
It’s an overwhelming fusion of BABYMETAL’s signature catchiness with a heavy sound infused with Indian folk music.
The lyrics—rapidly weaving through Japanese, English, and Hindi—embody their determination to break down cultural barriers and move forward together into the future.
This track will be included on the album “METAL FORTH,” slated for release in August 2025.
The feverish energy born from this intercultural chemistry may very well give you goosebumps.
It’s love, right?wacci
I’ve been posting songs with the theme of “men with low voices,” and many of my students are “men with low voices” too! One of them has been practicing wacci’s “Koidaro.” In this song, the chorus jumps up in range to F#4, but the lowest note is a pretty low B2, which actually appears multiple times throughout.
How about first making sure you can firmly produce those easier low notes, and then try tackling the high notes with some momentum? Of course, it’s totally fine to start with falsetto instead of chest voice! If you keep singing, there will definitely be a point where it clicks, so I think it’s worth giving it a go even if it feels “a bit high.” Just don’t push yourself!
CALLING†Higuchi Kaede
This is Kaede Higuchi’s 5th single, set for release in August 2025, chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince, So I’ll Master Magic at My Leisure Season 2.” This work is a fast-paced rock number that sings of hope: even in despair, if you keep praying, a path will open.
The theme of “hope,” as described by Kaede Higuchi herself, and the song’s messaging overlap with the protagonist’s journey.
It’s a track that can make your heart surge with courage when you need strength to face difficulties.

License to KillTHE BLUE HEARTS
This is a playful track that daringly sets knife-sharp impulses hidden in the heart to a poppy, light-footed sound and sings them out.
Despite its string of violent-sounding words, the song possesses a curious charm that somehow leaves you feeling refreshed once it’s over.
That exquisite imbalance is precisely the essence of the world Hiroto Kōmoto depicts, as if tickling the rebellious spirit sleeping deep within the listener.
Released in September 1990, the piece is included on the classic album “BUST WASTE HIP,” which marked the band’s first-ever No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly chart in their new chapter.
When you want to loosen the constraints of everyday life just a little, this exhilarating rock ’n’ roll will be there with a generous dose of humor.
