Endless DreamAikawa Nanase
A powerful rock number by Nanase Aikawa that added vibrant color as the opening theme for the anime’s third season.
Released in June 2002, the track is a fast-paced piece that showcases her husky, powerhouse vocals.
The lyrics, written by Aikawa herself, tell a story of two people chasing their future through motifs of journey, hope, and vows.
Composed by Hiroshi Shibasaki (formerly of al.ni.co) and arranged by KANAME, its melodic, uplifting sound blends perfectly with the world of Inuyasha.
After peaking at No.
14 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, it was included on the best-of album ID:2 and continues to be celebrated as one of the series’ signature theme songs.
A highly recommended track for anyone eager to thrill to a Sengoku-era fantasy adventure.
Oh my loveHump Back
After returning from maternity and childcare leave to restart in March 2025, Hump Back chose this song to open their self-titled album “Hump Back.” While embracing the new presence of family, it delivers a straight-down-the-middle, band-true piece of melodic rock.
Carried by expansive vocals and catchy guitar sounds, the lyrics gently depict affection for loved ones and the small joys of everyday life, seeping naturally into the heart.
On the release day, they also gave a live performance on “Love it!”, and their forward-looking stance—both as mothers and as musicians—will surely give many people a push.
It’s a pep song we especially want those taking a first step into a new life to hear.
We’re invincible!! DairangerNEW JACK Takuro
Produced in 1993 as an ending theme, this track is a hero anthem whose powerful shouts and vibrant brass rush through your whole body.
NEW JACK Takuro’s R&B-rooted groove fuses brilliantly with hard rock’s driving force, and the call-and-response steadily amps up kids’ excitement.
Centered on the theme of mustering one’s spirit to transform, the lyrics boldly sing of the courage to face enemies and the bonds with comrades, resonating deeply with children clenching their fists in front of the screen.
Embodying the world of Gosei Sentai Dairanger in musical form, this song has continued to be included on series commemorative releases and remains beloved by Super Sentai fans to this day.
It’s a fiery number that will rekindle the hearts of those who want to charge through each day at full throttle, and those who once dreamed of being heroes.
OverMr.Children
It captures the early-1990s Mr.Children vibe: guitar-driven rock that keeps a pop sensibility, with introspective lyrics matching the poignant melody.
The overall range is D3 to A#4, which might be a bit higher than the average male range.
Especially that chest-voice G#4 after a run of F4s in the chorus—that’s the spot you want to hit smoothly! The key to high notes is explosiveness.
If you deliver every phrase with a slight accent, you gain momentum and the voice comes out more easily.
After that, switch to head voice.
Exhale straight upward to build that momentum.
Lifting your facial muscles makes the transition smoother, so keep those facial muscles lifted throughout.

Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken
From the very beginning, Ken Hirai’s beautiful singing voice resonates in this song.
It’s a 2004 track that was used in a TOYOTA Corolla Fielder commercial and also served as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Truth of Tsugumi Kuzushi.” The lyrics make it a ballad that feels both like singing and like speaking to someone, so it’s a song you can really get into and sing calmly.
I often point out Ken Hirai’s singing characteristics to my students, so please use them as a reference! First, while it’s memorable that he sings with his eyes closed, in reality, closing your eyes can cause unnecessary tension and make it harder to stay on pitch.
However, Hirai raises his eyebrows and uses his hand to track the pitch while he sings.
He compensates in other ways so that singing becomes more natural and easier.
This gesture also makes it much easier to produce falsetto, so definitely give it a try!
OrangeGRe4N BOYZ
A song that captures the moment when feelings for someone you like overflow on the way home dyed by the sunset.
Released in April 2012 under the name GReeeeN as their 16th single by GRe4N BOYZ, it was used in a Shiseido “SEA BREEZE” commercial.
The lyrics describe how simply walking side by side makes your heart race, and the more you think about it, the harder it becomes to hold back the urge to confess—sung over a refreshing, fast-paced band sound.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to relive the delicate feelings of a school-days crush.
Omelet riceReoNa
It’s sure to resonate with anyone who couldn’t go to school.
Released digitally by ReoNa in May 2024, this track features lyrics and composition by Vocaloid producer Toa Kasamura and arrangement by Ryohei Arahata.
The lyrics, which begin with a question, symbolically portray the protagonist’s loneliness and sense of self-negation through the imagery of a lunchbox scene.
A wistful melody seeps into the heart.
It’s a song that gently reaches out a hand to those who, even while carrying pain, still wish to face forward.
