Ghost TokyoAyase8rank/position
It’s a highly narrative and popular song that portrays urban loneliness and a sense of emptiness.
A self-cover version was released in 2021, and it’s also featured in rhythm games.
It’s an early masterpiece by Ayase as a Vocaloid producer, notable for its sophisticated piano and bass.
The tempo itself isn’t very fast, so you should be able to follow the lyrics calmly.
The overall vocal range is D3 to C#5, with the verses (A and B sections) staying relatively restrained.
In the chorus, using some falsetto will add stability and help you sing with good balance, so try to approach it with a light touch rather than belting.

This is the first original vocal track released under Ayase’s solo name in September 2022; he’s also active as the composer for the music duo YOASOBI.
The minimal sound, stripped of excessive ornamentation, highlights his conversational singing voice and feels very cool.
The raw, intimate closeness unique to this song is something you can feel precisely because he’s the one singing it.
What’s portrayed is the moment of parting between two people who had become one, as if melted together.
Rather than a tragic ending, it feels like the completion of a fulfilling relationship and a true farewell that allows them to step into the future.
It’s a stylish track that gently keeps you company through the pain of heartbreak—one to savor on a quiet, solitary night.

The lyrics, which tie into the anime’s story, evoke a universal theme: even amid uncertainty, you can only keep moving forward.
It’s a track that lingers in your ears with its striking contrast between aggressive rap and lyrical melody.

An epic cheer song produced by YOASOBI, inspired by the manga Blue Period.
It powerfully portrays the pain and inner conflicts that arise precisely because you’re passionate about what you love, as well as the determination to follow the path you believe in—carried by a fast-paced, driving sound.
Released in September 2020, the track was used in a commercial for Bourbon’s Alfort Mini Chocolate and was also selected as the march-in song for the 94th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.
To express the piece’s uplifting, supportive energy on piano, it’s key to build a strong sense of rise from the pre-chorus into the chorus.
In the grand choral sections, using the sustain pedal effectively to create a rich resonance will move listeners even more.
