Moonlight BeerhallUdagawa Bekkan Bando
Formed in 2010, this eight-member band hails from Udagawa in Shibuya.
With members rooted in soul, funk, and hip-hop, they deliver “Shibuya nightlife” music.
Their performances are cool yet approachable, with melodies and lyrics that make their songs enjoyable even for those who aren’t necessarily soul aficionados.
To my daughter…Shimazu Aya
Aya Shimazu’s early work “Musume ni…”.
Around this time, she often sang poignant, gently emotional songs, and this piece is especially renowned as a masterpiece among them.
While it follows the melodic style of enka and can rightly be called an enka song, the vocal line itself leans strongly toward kayōkyoku (Japanese pop).
There’s hardly any use of vibrato-like kobushi, and the performance relies mainly on dynamic shading throughout, making it a song where you can aim for a high score.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

I’ll come pick you up.arashi
An adult, sophisticated number with a mature vibe.
The mid-tempo 16-beat groove makes it even cooler.
Whether it’s an album track or something performed only live, it became famous not as a single but through fan popularity.
With a song this cool, that’s no surprise.
Its stream of positive words makes it a great pick-me-up when you’re troubled or feeling down.
Come on, let’s all go out and meet the versions of ourselves we’ll be tomorrow!
It’s impossible…wagahai P
This is a song posted by Wagahai-P in 2010.
The gentle singing voice of Hatsune Miku, the cool and crystalline tone, and the heartrending lyrics create a melancholy atmosphere.
It’s a heartbreak song about harboring unspoken feelings that can never be confessed.
If you’ve experienced the pain of unrequited love that ended before it began, you might relate.
village festivalMonbushō shōka
This piece, which portrays the joy of a village festival celebrating a bountiful autumn harvest, is loved by people of all ages, from children to adults.
The lyrics that depict the sounds of flutes and drums as “don-don hyarara” leave a strong impression.
Since it was included in an elementary school textbook in 1912, the lyrics have gradually changed over time, but it continues to be sung today as an important song that conveys Japanese traditions and culture.
When singing with older adults, it’s also recommended to clap along or move your body in time with the lyrics.
It seems like a fun way to exercise while reminiscing about the past.
MoonlightHoshimachi Suisei
Suisei Hoshimachi, a singer who represents hololive.
Lately, her collaboration with Kuzuha from Nijisanji has been a hot topic in streaming and the VTuber scene.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Moonlight.
It’s not an extremely difficult piece, but falsetto appears throughout.
In addition, it incorporates R&B elements, so applied techniques like riffs and runs are also needed.
If you’re confident in singing soft high notes, definitely give it a try.
