For a moody, nighttime karaoke vibe, I recommend “Fushigi.” It was released by Gen Hoshino in 2021 and chosen as the theme song for the drama “Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte.” You’ll hear synths and snare sounds that evoke an ’80s feel.
If you can sing this slow-tempo soul track, it will give off a mature impression.
The lyrics, which capture moments of everyday life, are filled with his gentle warmth.
At karaoke, try singing it without rushing, as if speaking softly and kindly.

It’s a popular song that was used as the theme for the drama MIU404, which featured many popular actors like Gen Hoshino, Go Ayano, and Masaki Suda! Kenshi Yonezu’s songs often have a slightly mysterious vibe and a lot of them are really cool, right? This track is no exception—it has a mature atmosphere and is super cool! The horn section is boldly featured, giving the song a jazz- and funk-like feel.

SUPER BEAVER, whose momentum hasn’t slowed since re-signing with a major label.
Their song “Hitori de Ikiteitanaraba” was released as part of their major-label comeback single, “Highlight / Hitori de Ikiteitanaraba.” The track also serves as the theme song for the film “Water’s Edge Flight.” Though the melody is relaxed, the lyrics are powerful—classic SUPER BEAVER, motivating and passionate.

It’s a song that’s sure to bring tears to anyone in a similar situation—those dealing with heartbreak or pining for an unattainable love.
There’s the original version and the one-take “THE FIRST TAKE ver.” Why not liven up the atmosphere with the raw, real feel of “THE FIRST TAKE ver.”?
