This song sung by Gen Hoshino was written as the theme for the film “CUBE: Once You Enter, There’s No Turning Back.” Its rapidly shifting arrangement and beats create a thrilling number that echoes the film itself.

The Habit SongHoshino Gen
When it comes to karaoke-friendly songs, you naturally want to look for slower tracks.
“Kuse no Uta,” included on the first album released in 2010, is a love song that draws you in with that unhurried charm.
The lyrics, which candidly express the desire to get to know someone you like, really hit home.
From the latter half of the second chorus, the melody has a slightly taut height, but the pitch still stays on the lower side.
The way it’s sung—almost like laying bare one’s inner voice—also makes it feel very approachable, don’t you think?

Unrequited LoveHattori Hiroko
Hiroko Hattori’s classic “Kurenai Jōwa” is striking for its gently unfolding opening.
At first, you might find it sultry, but once the chorus begins, an unexpectedly grand and moving melody spreads out.
Because of this, the song calls for a wide range of expression, yet fortunately it contains very few complex elements.
Even the use of kobushi ornamentation is among the least in Hattori’s repertoire, so even those who struggle with enka should be able to sing it without trouble.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
