Strawberry SunsetSasaki Hidenaru (CV: Shirai Yusuke) Miyano Yumi (CV: Saito Soma)
The anime Sasaki and Miyano depicts the everyday lives of high school boys.
Its ending theme is Ichigo Sunset.
It’s performed by Yusuke Shirai, the voice actor for Shumei Sasaki, and Soma Saito, the voice actor for Yoshikazu Miyano.
The song portrays the fun days of youth in a pop style, and its cute figurative expressions—like comparing the sunset sky to strawberries—are part of its charm.
I hope you’ll listen while imagining what kind of exchanges the two are having and what scenery they’re seeing through the lyrics.
Tonight is Boogie BackOzawa Kenji feat. Suchadarapaa
High-energy, fast-paced songs are great for getting the crowd going, but don’t you think mellow tracks that create a mature vibe are wonderful too? That’s why I’d like to recommend “Konya wa Boogie Back.” It’s a classic everyone knows.
The song is performed by Kenji Ozawa together with the three members of the hip-hop group Scha Dara Parr.
Because of that, if one person tries to handle the rap parts that are sung by two people, you might find yourself a bit short of breath.
I hope you’ll try splitting the parts smartly and give it a shot.
SAY YESCHAGE and ASKA
The legendary drama The 101st Proposal needs no introduction.
CHAGE and ASKA’s SAY YES was created with hints drawn from that story.
Even if you’ve never seen the drama, you probably know this song.
Vocal techniques like harmonies are important, but first I’d like you to try singing it with real feeling in the lyrics.
If you focus too much on imitating the original performance, it can end up sounding like an impersonation, so I also recommend adding your own arrangement.
anticlockwiseAfter the Rain
After the Rain is a music duo formed by Soraru and Mafumafu, both of whom are popular vocalists.
Their song Anti-Clockwise, included on their second album Izanaware Traveler, features an impressive, fast-paced ensemble driven by piano and strings.
Mafumafu’s piercing high tones and Soraru’s cool mid-to-low register harmonize in a way that draws listeners into the song’s world.
With its driving rock sound and thrilling melody, it’s a cool track that’s sure to raise your spirits.
I know it’s bothersome, but…Tonneruzu
Now firmly established as legendary comedians who have also released numerous classic songs, Tunnels delivered many memorable tracks.
Their 11th single, “Meiwaku Deshou ga…”—also covered by Hiroshi Itsuki—is a number where you’ll want to pay attention to the spoken passages that recall the TV drama “Zenryaku Ofukuro-sama.” The melody, where Takaaki Ishibashi’s and Noritake Kinashi’s distinct voices intertwine, perfectly suits its wistful arrangement.
It’s a lyrical ballad that belies its origins as a comic song.
Love isn’t fashionableOkamura Yasuyuki with Koide Yusuke
This is a message song that sounds the alarm against the trend of treating romance like a fashion accessory.
Set to a groovy sound that blends funk and rock, it carefully portrays a shy, hesitant kind of love.
Crafted from Yasuyuki Okamura’s groovy sound and Yusuke Koide’s delicate lyrics, the single was released in April 2014 and was also used as the theme song for the variety show “Kubo Mine Hyada Kojirase Night.” It appears on the album “Kōfuku” (Happiness) and has been highly praised by music critics.
It’s a perfect track for those who are awkward in love or uncomfortable following the crowd, offering empathy and encouraging a sincere approach to romance.
YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA
This song is characterized by its powerful message and catchy melody.
It sings about facing forward and living positively even in difficult situations, giving courage to those who listen.
As one of CHAGE and ASKA’s signature songs, it was released in March 1993 and debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It also ranked No.
1 on the year-end singles chart that same year, with total sales reaching 2.419 million copies.
Used as the theme song for a Fuji TV drama, it resonated with many people.
It’s a perfect song to sing with friends at karaoke!
