No, it’s fine.Mirei Touyama
The honest feelings that are so hard to say out loud… It’s a heartbreakingly painful song to listen to.
It’s a track by singer-songwriter Mirei Touyama, who’s also highly regarded as a dancer, released digitally in November 2020.
Her delicate, ephemeral vocals match the imagery of the lyrics perfectly—they really hit home.
If you’re in love right now, many of you will probably relate.
It might be a good one to sing when you’re struggling with your relationship or want to shake off the gloom of a breakup.
Song of the Eternal NightKami wa saikoro o furanai
Yoru Naga Uta, a song included on the album View on Lambda released in May 2019, spread in popularity mainly through social media and became a hit in 2020.
In July 2020, the song was performed on the one-take YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, surpassing 1 million views within a few days.
This heartbreak song is packed with emotion; it’s a ballad with only minimal accompaniment until midway through.
There’s no room to hide, so it takes a bit of courage to sing.
But if you can pull it off, you’ll definitely look cool! Try singing it while paying attention to your breathing.
So AddictiveWashio Reina
A digital-only track by Reina Washio, former member of the Japanese female dance and vocal group E-girls, released in February 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Five Ways to Socially Destroy Your Husband.” While the song features a very striking jazzy arrangement and backing track, Washio’s wonderful vocals shine through and hold their own against the acoustic-only instrumentation.
With its complex melodic development, smooth shifts in vocal delivery to match, and the firm incorporation of a jazzy beat, it’s a very challenging song to sing.
Precisely because of that, if you can pull it off at karaoke, you’re sure to draw attention.
It’s a track I highly recommend to those confident in their singing.
Just be careful not to let your sense of the beat flatten out—doing so would ruin the effect—so pay close attention to that as you sing.
