Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy
“Run, SAKAMOTO,” which is drawing attention as the theme song for the popular anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, is a new track by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Vaundy, featuring a strong rock flavor.
Despite its intense sound, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high.
There is a key change to watch out for, but there aren’t any sections with drastic pitch jumps that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.
As a contemporary hit, it’s relatively easy to sing.
homeKiyama Yusaku
A song from a father’s perspective by Yusaku Kiyama, woven with gentle vocals and a ballad melody that expresses the deep love parents have for their children and the joys of raising them.
It delivers everyday moments with a child, the feelings of a parent watching their growth, and heartfelt messages to the child, accompanied by warm piano tones.
Released in February 2008 as his major-label debut on tearbridge records, it was selected as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Uta Star!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya.” In December of the same year, he performed at the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to at life’s important milestones—such as graduations and weddings—when you want to feel the bond between parent and child.
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenKawashima Eigo
This is a socially conscious masterpiece that portrays the subtle miscommunications between men and women and the nuances of emotional expression with deep insight.
It warmly observes how men open up through drinking and women through tears, each revealing their inner feelings.
Born from impressions Eigo Kawashima had at age 18 during a family memorial gathering, the song was included on the November 1975 album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and released as a single in June 1976.
Also known as the jingle for the sake brand Kizakura, it became a major hit, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It is a gem I recommend to anyone who wants to face their heart honestly when confronted with life’s sorrow and poignancy.

countrysideTamaki Kōji
A gem of a masterpiece by Koji Tamaki that portrays the strength of living while confronting the weaknesses and conflicts hidden within the human heart.
It vividly depicts unvarnished scenes of life with rich emotion—the lonely soul kicking a stone, eyes lifted to the night sky in prayer, a back smeared with oil and silently enduring.
The melody gently teaches the importance of not overstraining yourself, but simply taking one step at a time and steadily doing what you can.
Released in July 1996, this song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Coach,” and became a major hit, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon charts.
It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to those who feel lost or anxious in everyday life, and to anyone searching for a way of living that feels true to themselves.
A bouquet for boring daysLUCKY TAPES
Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.
In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.
That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.
The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.
BOW AND ARROWYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s new song “BOW AND ARROW.” Rather than the catchy pop tunes he’s known for, this piece leans more toward an artcore vibe.
As a result, the overall tempo is fast, and some phrases demand abrupt pitch jumps.
The chorus, in particular, requires repeatedly switching between falsetto and chest voice, making it quite challenging—be sure to stay mindful of precise pitch control as you sing.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
TaketenGReeeeN
This is GReeeeN’s 24th digital-only single, released on May 26, 2021.
It was also selected as the ending theme for the film “Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko.” The song is a gentle, ballad-style piece, sung with a high, clear, piercing tone that showcases its beautiful melody.
While it’s a slightly advanced choice, it’s ideal as a practice piece for developing powerful high-tone singing.
If possible, I recommend practicing to sing it using chesty head voice rather than relying on falsetto.
However, forcing high notes can strain your throat, so start at a comfortable key and gradually work your way closer to the original key.
Above all, don’t push yourself too hard!
