Chihiro Onitsuka – Gekkou (Moonlight)

Onitsuka’s biggest hit.

Chosen as the theme song for the drama “TRICK,” it became a long-running success with its tense piano and strings and lyrics about liberation from oppression.

An eternal classic, its music video surpassed 100 million views in 2025.

When you actually listen, there are some falsetto elements in the first half, but it builds toward the end, so singing it in chest voice would still land powerfully.

Sing carefully, but hold the sustained notes where needed to create strong dynamics!

In conclusion

That moment when you take a deep breath and release all your feelings through your voice. That’s the true joy of songs that highlight the beauty of melody and deliver experiences that make your heart tremble. Find your favorite long-tone pieces and take time to truly connect with the resonance of your own voice. Drift gently away from the clamor of everyday life, and savor a peaceful time as you surrender to the waves of music!
