IKIJIBIKI feat.TakaRADWIMPS
Taka, the vocalist of ONE OK ROCK.
The song he co-produced with RADWIMPS is “IKIJIBIKI feat.
Taka.” It’s a classic rock track that won’t disappoint music fans.
The intriguingly ambiguous title and lyrics also add to its appeal.
The parts are divided almost equally, and the chorus is sung by both of them, so whichever part you choose, you can belt it out.
The key is to create a strong contrast in dynamics between the chorus and the other sections.
IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
The song co-performed by MY FIRST STORY and HYDE is a heartfelt, meticulously crafted work! Released in June 2024 as a tie-in with an anime, it portrays a worldview where dreams and reality intersect.
The lyrics weave in profound themes such as eternity, life, and fate, creating content that resonates with listeners.
With a powerful rock-driven sound and emotionally rich vocals, it’s impressive—not only for anime fans but also for anyone seeking music that speaks to the heart.
Try listening alone at night in silence—you might discover something new.

“Seishun Amigo” is Shuuji to Akira’s debut single and the theme song for “Nobuta wo Produce.” The song portrays a slightly bittersweet male friendship, and it’s a must-sing with friends from your hometown at karaoke.
It doesn’t require exceptional vocal skills, so give it a try when you want to reminisce about your good old school days.
Curtain Call feat.TakaShimizu Shota
Curtain Call feat.
Taka is a classic by Shota Shimizu and ONE OK ROCK’s vocalist, Taka.

The piece itself is very simple for a duet.
Rather than harmonizing, the focus is on singing in unison, so there’s no need to worry about getting pulled off pitch by your partner.
The vocal line has a somewhat R&B feel, which brings its own challenges, but even so, it can be considered a relatively easy song.
