A song sung in an emotional male voice from a woman’s perspective: Kenshi Yonezu’s “Eine Kleine.” It’s about a heart that’s truly faint-hearted and fragile—so weak that even gaining something can cause it pain.

Even so, “if you say that’s okay, I want to place my home there with you.” It’s a love song filled with tender, heartrending affection.

This is “Baby I Love You,” a signature song by TEE, an artist whose delicate falsetto and exceptional vocal ability move many people and are loved across generations.

Ken Hirai’s singing voice is somehow gentle and somehow tinged with sorrow, and it has the power to captivate people, doesn’t it? I feel that this power is especially evident in his ballads.

“Todokanai Kara” is a heartbreaking song packed with the pain and hardship of unrequited love.

The sound may seem bright, yet it somehow carries a sense of melancholy.

It would be wonderful to be able to sing gently like Ken Hirai.

It expresses the various emotions modern people carry—affirmation of oneself and newfound awareness inspired by seeing someone dear, such as a lover.

Recommended for everyone, regardless of gender.
