DISH// – Cat [Official Live Video 2019]

Written and composed by Aimyon and released in 2017 featuring Takumi Kitamura’s heartrending vocals, the song became a massive hit after his one-take performance on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020, and has since become a signature track with over 200 million streams.

Kitamura is known for his chest-voice singing, delivering powerful high notes in full voice rather than falsetto.

For male singers, the range can be quite high, so explosive power is important.

Try to project as if you’re sending the sound far, without shouting.

Daphne (winter daphne)DISH//2rank/position

DISH// – Sweet Daphne [Official Video]

This popular rock number by DISH// drew attention as a co-written piece by vocalist Takumi Kitamura and Hattori from Macaroni Empitsu.

It delicately portrays the themes of deep affection for someone who is always by your side as you move forward each day, and the importance of having a place to return to.

Chosen as the theme song for the drama “The Winner in February: The Classroom of Guaranteed Success,” it was released as a single in November 2021 and is also included on the acclaimed album “TRIANGLE.” The warm, enveloping sound and the buoyant, march-like rhythm feel so pleasant.

Brimming with feelings for cherished friends and family, this song is, in my view, perfect as BGM for a graduation-celebration movie, enhancing touching scenes that invite both smiles and tears.

No.1DISH//3rank/position

DISH// – No.1 [Official Video] (TV Anime “My Hero Academia” Season 5 Opening Theme / MY HERO ACADEMIA OPENING THEME)

A high-octane rock tune that paints heroes breaking past their limits and carving out the future with fiery sound.

The band’s piano-and-guitar interplay delivers a rush of exhilaration, as if your field of vision suddenly opens up.

The theme—aiming for the top and constantly reinventing yourself—will surely strike a powerful chord with listeners.

It’s a track by DISH// chosen as the opening theme for Season 5 of the TV anime My Hero Academia, released in May 2021 as their 13th single.

Vocalist Takumi Kitamura’s powerful voice captures the world of the song brilliantly—it feels absolutely amazing.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to take a new step forward and needing a push on their back.

Plan ADISH//4rank/position

DISH// – Plan A [Official Video] | TV Anime “The Elusive Samurai” Opening Theme

It’s a song with a powerful message that affirms even “running away” as a positive, forward-looking decision, giving a push to those of us living in the present day.

Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Elusive Samurai,” it was released as a CD single in September 2024.

In fact, for this track, vocalist Takumi Kitamura handled the lyrics, while all the members of DISH// composed the music together.

The “wa” elements—such as tones reminiscent of Japanese taiko drums and the conch shell horn—are superbly fused with their signature, high-velocity dance rock.

The lyrical worldview, which declares that strategic retreat can be a perfectly valid best option, makes your heart feel lighter when you’re trying a bit too hard.

It’s an energetic yet warm number that’s sure to get the crowd fired up live.

DISH// – Thank You for Falling in Love with Me [Official Live Video]

A heartwarming ballad in which the protagonist, fresh from a breakup, honestly conveys the gratitude they held for their lover.

Delicate piano melodies and DISH//’s gentle vocals carefully weave together the protagonist’s feelings of “thank you.” It portrays emotions anyone who has experienced love can relate to—thoughts left unsaid at the moment of parting, gratitude for the days spent together, and the wish for the other person’s happiness.

Originally included as a B-side to the single “Hengao de Bye Bye!!,” released in December 2014, this song also received a retake version on the album “Ao,” released in September 2022.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you wish to express gratitude to someone important, or when you’re trying to overcome a breakup.

Starting OverDISH//6rank/position

Starting Over

It’s a track packed with powerful messages that give you a push when you’re ready to make a fresh start or hit the reset button.

The music video—showing the band facing forward even as rain pours down—is striking, and you can feel a fiery energy that reads like a declaration of resolve as a band.

With Hiroki Arai’s exhilarating, fast-paced sound and Takumi Kitamura’s emotional vocals layered together, it’s a song that makes your heart swell every time you listen.

Released in July 2018 as DISH//’s 12th single, the track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Zoids Wild.

As their first single under the new lineup, I think it also stands as a work symbolizing a major turning point for the group.

Its worldview—shaking off the past and sprinting toward a new future—will likely strike deep in the hearts of those dealing with doubt.

Give it a listen when you want to take on something new or reset your mindset and give it your all.

In the morning, even the lunar surface is smiling.DISH//7rank/position

DISH// – Morning, Even the Moon’s Surface Is Smiling [Official Video] | Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV” Theme Song

A song where gentleness and strength coexist, like a breath of refreshing morning air.

Written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” this work was released as a digital single in April 2024.

Lyrics by Takumi Kitamura, composition by Shuhei Tachibana and Daichi Izumi—the fact that the members themselves were involved in the production also drew attention.

Inspired by the real experience of “seeing the moon in the morning,” it carries a message that even if you can’t smile now, a day will come when you can.

The track is also included on the album “aRange,” released in April 2026.

Even on gloomy mornings, listening might put a lighter spring in your step.

A warm pop tune that gently stays by your side at the start of the day.
