CRAZY DOCTORLOUDNESS
A signature masterpiece by LOUDNESS that electrifies with Akira Takasaki’s chiseled guitar riffs and Minoru Niihara’s soaring vocals! Though they once belonged to a Being-affiliated label, this 1984 track grips listeners from the opening machine-gun snare.
While complex rhythms and a jaw-dropping, virtuosic guitar solo strike sparks, the melody is astonishingly catchy.
That exquisite sense of balance is precisely the essence of a band that has battled on the world stage.
You can almost see the ground-shaking roar and unity of the crowd when this song kicks off live.
A truly legendary track that rewrote the history of Japanese heavy metal.

Suite: Winter ScenesTokoro Jōji
You wouldn’t guess from the title that George Tokoro’s “Suite: Winter Scenes” is a comic song, would you? The track is included on his 1997 album “20th Anniversary Canniversary,” released to mark the 20th year of his career.
As the title suggests, it’s a song that evokes wintery scenes and landscapes, and you might expect it to be cute—but then you find yourself wanting to say, “Wait, you’re going to treat a snowman like that?” Despite the singing and melody not hinting at anything of the sort, that gap makes it a fun track.
Gardenia blossomWatanabe Tetsuya
This song, cherished by many as a classic from the Showa era, continues to be loved.
The poignant longing for a lost love is layered with the fragrance of gardenia flowers, deeply resonating with listeners.
Released in August 1973, it became a massive hit after the artist’s appearance on the New Year’s Eve music show the following year.
It was later chosen as the theme song for the film “Graveyard of the Yakuza: Gardenia.” With its simple melody and rhythm, it’s easy to sing.
Why not sing it while reminiscing about old memories and overlaying them with your own experiences?
Keisuke KuwataMayonaka no Dandī
Songs by Keisuke Kuwata and Southern All Stars are well-received across a wide range of age groups, so they’re great picks in any setting! This time’s “Mayonaka no Dandy” was first released as a solo single in 1993.
The vocal range sits around B3 on average, and the simple melody line makes it easy to remember and sing.
Precisely because the melody is simple, small pitch deviations can stand out when matched to a pitch bar, but if you sing carefully, your score will definitely go up! When moving from the A and B sections into the chorus, the pitch rises a bit, so try to sing lightly without tensing up overall—keep your facial muscles lifted as you sing! Once you’re comfortable, you could add a slight shout like Kuwata does, but if your score isn’t improving, it might strain your throat, so better not to do it…

The 10th work by Vocaloid producer Danro-P, “Clashback.” Its fierce rock sound sliced through by the tone of a shamisen is a bold twist that leaves an unforgettable impact after just one listen!
