Set to a sound that fuses the drive of breakbeats with the intensity of a live band, the members deliver a fiery mic relay.
Its message—step forward from here, even if things don’t go well—strongly encourages students who are practicing hard for the big day.
It’s a song that gives you courage, perfect for tense moments on the day of an event and as a cheer song that unites friends at school sports festivals.
Alone in Nagoya at the end of a loveNEW!Mizumori Kaori
Kaori Mizumori, who continues to enjoy overwhelming support as the queen of local-themed songs, offers a track that, while centered on heartbreak, features a bright, major-key melody that feels refreshing.
It includes a wordplay that links “Owari,” the old provincial name around Nagoya, with the “owari” (end) of a romance, giving the song a certain uplifting clarity amid the sadness.
Why not listen to it while reflecting on past loves?
The Umbrella of LoveNEW!Kogō Aishi
A veteran singer, Aiji Egawa, who studied under Masao Koga and has long upheld the Japanese-style song tradition.
This work is a track originally released in 1961 and reissued as a single in March 2026.
It is a kayō-buyo piece that fuses Edo-era ambiance, Japanese melodic style, danceability, and theatricality, and it has been danced continuously from the Showa era to the present.
Its allure lies in its sultry phrasing and stage-ready melodic turns.
It is a renowned song deeply cherished in the world of stage entertainment, with performers like Tomio Umezawa also showcasing dances to it on television programs and other venues.
Flower of LoveNEW!Fujiwara Ayayo
Ayayo Fujiwara is an unconventional enka singer from Miyagi Prefecture who balances farming and community activities with her singing career.
Her single “Koi no Hana c/w Matsuri-bayashi,” released in March 2026, is a landmark work commemorating the 25th anniversary of her debut.
With lyrics by Kiyo Suzuki and composition by Gendai Kano, the song passionately conveys a powerful love set against the backdrop of kagura and festival scenes.
The lyrics, where the scent of the land intersects with a woman’s fervent emotions, are heartrending yet beautiful.
CallingNEW!B’z
A 1997 single that served as the theme song for the drama Glass Mask starring Yumi Adachi.
It was a million-seller and a masterpiece that took over seven months to produce, fusing two different styles: ballad and rock.
The sustained notes in the rock part are really cool and memorable.
Inaba’s ability to switch between ballad and rock is incredibly impressive, so I think it’s a song that would really liven up a karaoke session.
When you sing it, keep your core engaged and focus on diaphragmatic breathing so your voice doesn’t waver, and project straight.
For the high notes, belting them out will definitely make it feel great to sing.

![exceed; surpass; go beyond; cross (over)NEW![Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WsEhSXH497I/sddefault.jpg)
This is a rock number that stirs a burning fighting spirit, making you feel like you can surpass your limits and your past self.
Released digitally in April 2025, the track was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray.
It’s also included on the album PROVOKE, released the same month.
The dynamic arrangement—dropping down in the intro, then clawing its way back up—cranks up the tension.
Why not play it in situations where you’re charging forward toward victory with your teammates?
powder snowNEW!Remioromen
Released on November 16, 2005, this single became a huge hit as an insert song for the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” It’s a classic ballad written and composed by vocalist Ryota Fujimaki that portrays winter scenery and the bittersweet distance between a man and a woman.
Many people, regardless of gender, love to take on this song.
I actually sing it with the key raised, and the sustained notes in the chorus feel amazing to sing—highly recommended.
Rather than holding a long tone at the ends of phrases, this song’s image is to sustain from the start of the chorus while shifting the pitch.
Don’t forget to take a breath before the chorus, and enjoy singing!
