Married With ChildrenOasis
Oasis, a rock band from Manchester, UK, is also recommended for women.
Among the tracks on their albums, you’ll find not only rock songs but plenty of ballads as well.
This particular song, which sings about feelings for one’s family, is also recommended.
Melody/Mother GoosePENICILLIN
PENICILLIN is a band formed in 1992.
Since their formation, they have never disbanded or gone on hiatus, and they continue their musical activities as a three-piece.
Each member also pursues solo activities, and they perform live both in Japan and overseas.
The band’s debut release was the 1996 single “Melody/Mother Goose.” The video is for “Mother Goose,” which was used as the theme song for an NHK drama.
MeribaPEOPLE 1
PEOPLE 1 is a pop band that has been active since 2019.
In Japan’s rock scene—where high, thin vocals are common—their thick, loud vocal tone is especially appealing.
Among their tracks, I particularly recommend Meriba.
Because it uses a lot of falsetto, it might feel difficult.
It’s true that sung as-is, it’s challenging, but the song’s range isn’t actually that wide.
If you lower the key by about two semitones from your comfortable range, you’ll be able to sing most parts in chest voice—so give it a try.
May DayPlastic Tree
A US rock-style track with an excellent sense of groove that often gets played live.
Just like how it was placed as the second track right after the instrumental on their 1998 sophomore album “Puppet Show,” it opens with a thrilling rush and a melodious, floating feel that’s simply pleasant.
The youthful vibe suggested by the words in the lyrics, along with the addictive balance of gloominess and mischievousness, creates a compelling world.
The guitar and bass going wild—especially in the interlude—are irresistible.
It’s a masterpiece that perfectly fits a lazy May afternoon.
fairy talePlastic Tree
The poetic lyrics woven by Plastic Tree’s vocalist, Ryutaro Arimura, evoke the feeling of drifting between dreams and reality.
This work is included on their self-titled album “Plastic Tree,” released in May 2024.
Its fragile, melancholic worldview is striking, beautifully expressing the conflict between the harshness of reality and a heart that longs to dream.
The sentimental band sound is another key allure.
When you feel crushed by reality, this song may gently stay by your side.
me me sheRADWIMPS
This song is included on RADWIMPS’ album “RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~.” The title, with its multiple meanings, really leaves an impression.
The lyrics, mixing feelings of affection for the other person with self-centered emotions, portray an awkward kind of love that anyone can relate to.
Released in December 2006, the album reached No.
5 on the Oricon charts.
Expressing the complex emotions of a man who, while carrying the pain of heartbreak, tries to look forward, it’s a track that resonates with anyone struggling in love.
It’s also easy to sing at karaoke and is recommended when you want to look back on memories of romance.
Fairy-tale SnowmanRUBY-CATMAN
It’s an adorable Vocaloid song with a whimsical, fantasy-like vibe.
Created by RUBY-CATMAN, a Vocaloid producer known for technopop sounds, it was released in 2015.
It’s a Christmas song about wanting to enjoy that once-a-year special night to the fullest with you, and the excitement really comes through in the melody.
Still, there’s a hint of bittersweetness peeking through.
When you think about the protagonist telling themselves “just for today,” the song can feel different, too.
In any case, it’s a wonderful track—be sure to take your time and savor it!
