43102Kawamoto Makoto
Makoto Kawamoto made her major-label debut in 1996 with the single “Ai no Sainō” (The Talent for Love).
A native of Fukui City in Fukui Prefecture, she graduated from the local high school and from the piano program in the music department at a local university, making her a highly skilled artist.
In 1997, she released “1/2,” which was chosen as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, and it became a major hit, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon singles chart.
Her image of singing while playing an acoustic guitar left a strong impression and went on to greatly influence later female singer-songwriters who perform with acoustic guitar.
42737kawamoto makoto × hatsune miku
“1/2” strikes the heart with its unique, poppy sound and lyrics that sing straightforward feelings.
Makoto Kawamoto released it in 1997, and it was featured in the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
Its one-of-a-kind melodic development makes it an addictive track.
This collaboration between Makoto Kawamoto and Hatsune Miku overflows with rhythmic performance and Miku’s cuteness! Her vocals blend seamlessly into the band sound, making you want to see it performed live.
69 (six-nine)Kyonyū Mandara Ōkoku
Kyonyu Mandala Kingdom is a rock band from Osaka Prefecture, formed in 1999 by Noriyuki Ikoma, who calls himself the Guru.
Vocalist and self-styled Guru Noriyuki Ikoma draws influence from every genre—metal, funk, pop, techno, punk, and heavy rock—and their distinctive sound features elements like poppy synths layered over heavy guitar and bass.
Most of the lyrics don’t carry specific meaning, and the way the songs are enjoyed through rhythm and performance might be similar to funk!
1995Hirai Ken
A track from Ken Hirai’s first album in about five years, “Anataninaritakatta,” released on May 12, 2021.
Its music video was unveiled on May 5, ahead of the album release.
Not limited to this song, much of Ken Hirai’s music appears to be sung using mixed voice.
Speaking of mixed voice, it lies between falsetto and chest voice—a blend of the two—so in that sense, you could say this track is a treasure trove of diverse falsetto-like tones.
There are hardly any sections sung in what you’d call typical falsetto, but it’s a song you can enjoy as a showcase of varied vocal production.
If you’re confident in your falsetto, definitely try singing it at karaoke.
It’s also perfect as practice material!
17Ikuta Rira
The song ’17’ opens the 1st mini-album ‘Rerise.’ The contrast between the ensemble consisting solely of acoustic guitar strumming and the lyrics that evoke striving to be a one-and-only self—even if no one understands you—is powerful.
While there are many challenging parts, such as the dizzyingly shifting melody speeds and the appearance of high falsetto notes, it also features sections with melodies that proceed at a steady pitch, so once you’ve got it down, it feels great to sing.
The vocal range isn’t that wide either, so if you set the key to suit your voice, it should be a number that’s easy to sing at karaoke.
A $10 LoveYūkadan
Yukadan is a band consisting of Mitsuteru Kimura, Kantaro Uchida, Kenji Hanaoka, and Kazuo Shimada.
They have earned high acclaim not only in Japan but also overseas.
Their second album is Second Hand.
It includes songs such as $10 no Koi, known for its emotionally rich melodies and heartrending lyrics, and Oseiji Oba-chan, a light, uplifting track that energizes listeners.
You’ll be impressed by the wide range of styles in their work, and the music’s historical backdrop is another part of its appeal.

2020 DIARYSaitō Kazuyoshi
Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, whose subtly wistful vocals and melodies have earned him support across generations.
The track “2020 diary,” included on his 21st album “55 STONES,” is, as the title suggests, a number that recounts events of 2020 from a musician’s perspective.
Its lyrics, which reflect on the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that threw the world into turmoil and ask what we should be doing now, feel calm and on point when viewed from the vantage point of time passed.
It’s a soulful pop tune that, precisely because of difficult times, prompts each of us to consider how we ought to be.
