No way—I’ve fallen in love.Kyanjani∞

Many listeners will likely relate to how she’s bewildered by feelings she hadn’t even noticed in herself and, despite putting on a brave face, genuinely cherishes him.
Released by Canjani∞ in May 2023, the song features lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and choreography by TAKAHIRO, well known from the Sakamichi Series.

The tender way she sings, in a husky voice, about the wavering hearts of a couple caught in a sudden downpour and the fragility of love is deeply moving.
After its release, the song reached No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart and won the Gold Prize at the 24th Japan Record Awards in 1982.
It was also performed at the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

I Want to Eat Naan (feat. Yuki Kaai)Yukopi
Yukopi is a Vocaloid producer whose music stands out with a unique atmosphere that also carries a certain cuteness.
The individuality of the melodies is so distinctive that you can tell a song is by Yukopi at first listen.
“I Want to Eat Naan (feat.
Kaai Yuki)” is renowned as one of Yukopi’s masterpieces, and compared to other works, it stays within a relatively narrow vocal range.
There are no rapid-fire phrases typical of Vocaloid, so it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
NANIWA’n WAYnaniwa danshi
Naniwa Danshi’s classic “NANIWA’n WAY,” beloved for its embracing lyrics, might initially seem to depict a love story, yet it also feels like a message from the group to their fans.
In contrast to its sweet, heartfelt themes, the melody is crafted to be poppy, bright, and refreshing.
The vocal range spans from mid1D to hiA; while that seems broad, the lowest note only appears in the first verse’s A section, so the practical range isn’t all that wide.
