This is the first song written and composed by Tatsuya Maki of go!go!vanillas for another artist, newly created as Fuji TV’s “2024 Athlete Support Song.” Using a “whale” that lives lovingly with family and friends as its motif, it’s crafted as a straightforward rock number that encourages people chasing their dreams.
The overall vocal range spans A2 to A#4, building steadily toward the final chorus and reaching higher registers.
Because it’s such a high-energy track, it’s best sung boldly and with powerful delivery.

Xmas with ULANA
Singer LANA, whose transparent vocals and down-to-earth lyrics resonate with people her age, has won strong support from her generation.
Because she has a streetwise vibe, many might find it surprising to hear her sing a Christmas song.
That’s why I recommend this single released in December 2022.
It’s crafted as a love song that not only captures the sparkle of spending Christmas with someone special, but also portrays the real emotions of everyday life.
The glamorous melody and her warm voice leave a strong impression, making it perfect for a holy night spent with your partner.

It was included on her first album, “SHE’S A LADY,” released in April 1980, as well as the 1988 album “Mao Daichi BEST.” The song evokes a lovely world that feels like a quiet nighttime moment spent with a capricious cat.
Her richly expressive vocals—honed on the stage—bring out the song’s playful sophistication and subtle allure.
It’s a piece you’ll want to relax with at the end of the day, favorite drink in hand.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a chic cat-themed tune that exudes a mature, effortless charm.

This is a song by Mayumi Kojima that combines a unique sense of swing with the melancholy of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
It’s included on the album “My name is blue,” released in September 2001.
The track overlays emotions sedimented in the depths of the heart and memories that suddenly resurface with the image of a “black cat.” It sings of the ache of past thorns pricking the chest and the undying passion that persists nonetheless.
Loved on stage in evolving forms, it also received a newly recorded version capturing the atmosphere of the time on the 2007 best-of compilation.
It’s a perfect piece for facing your own heart in the stillness of night.
That grown-up mood—suggesting a cat’s gaze with not only sweetness but a hint of poison—is simply irresistible, isn’t it?
