QUEENLiSA
LiSA, a female singer leading today’s anisong scene, continues to release songs consistently, and her vocals that evoke a rich sense of world-building are striking.
Her new track is “QUEEN.” Compared to her previous works, this piece leans even more heavily into rock.
Accordingly, the vocal lines are arranged closer to hard rock, making it quite demanding.
It’s a difficulty that can’t be masked with superficial tricks, so if you’re confident in your fundamental vocal skills—long tones, vibrato, volume, and overtones—definitely give it a try.
Kurunchu DiscoLonePi
Kurunchu Disco, which grabs the hearts of the Vocaloid-native generation, is LonePi’s latest masterpiece.
It’s a stylish dance track that showcases Kagamine Rin’s sharp, cutting vocals, the kind that makes your body fall into the rhythm before you know it.
The lyrics, portraying the gap between one’s outward face and inner self—and the struggle between them—will especially resonate with younger listeners.
With music and illustration snapping perfectly into place, this is a song you’ll want to savor carefully.
Give it a deep listen.
CrystalMARIMO。
MARIMO, who is active mainly on the internet through platforms like TikTok and YouTube, released this song “Crystal” in July 2023.
It portrays a relationship between a man and a woman who are in a delicate, ambiguous phase.
The brisk beat and vocals with an autotune-like sheen are pleasing to the ear, and combined with the skillfully woven melody line, the track ends up being highly addictive.
If you haven’t heard his music yet, I highly recommend starting with this song.
Cry For The TruthMICHI×GUMI
The sound brimming with a sense of speed feels like the curtain rising on a story.
MICHI’s debut single from 2015, “Cry For The Truth,” was used as the opening theme for the anime Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers.
Thanks to lyrics that perfectly match the work’s worldview, it leaves you wanting to follow the story even more.
In the MICHI × GUMI version, the EDM arrangement built around piano and GUMI’s tender, supportive vocals add a flourish to the up-tempo track!

It’s a gentle, romantic track that’s perfect for listening together with someone special.

MIYACHI is a Japanese American rapper based in New York, and his style that blends English and Japanese is seriously cool.
