Club CassiopeiaNayutan Seijin
A song with an intro that starts with a catchy melody, making a strong impact.
For guitar, focus more on rhythm than on the phrases when practicing.
The bass line moves around quite a bit, so make sure to keep a solid beat.
Drums require practice because you need to play the hi-hat tightly to create the right atmosphere.
The vocals are high difficulty in both rhythm and pitch, so you’ll need determination.
Also, there’s a key change in the latter half, so everyone except the drums should be careful not to slip out of alignment.

Can I come see you by cream?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The artist known as the “night-loving” Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
(Zutomayo) is a band characterized by vocalist ACA-ne’s soft, high tones.
Many of Zutomayo’s songs are stylish, so I imagine a lot of women feel like giving them a try.
If you sing them, aim to keep a relaxed feel overall without belting, and since the rhythms can be tricky, try singing with a lightly swung vibe.
In the chorus, there are parts with lots of words and some wide interval jumps, so don’t force it—keep it light in ACA-ne’s style.
