SARD UNDERGROUND “Are You Sane About That Marriage?” MV

This is the fourth digital single by the three-woman rock band SARD UNDERGROUND, released in July 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TOKYO MX drama “Sono Kekkon, Shouki Desu ka?” (Are You Sane to Marry?).

As SARD UNDERGROUND originated as a ZARD tribute band, the song strongly reflects ZARD’s style.

The vocal melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, making it a tune many people can casually hum along to.

Throughout the song, singing lightly and without tension is the key to making it sound good, so please give it a try.

BEGIN / “Shimanchu nu Takara” 20th Anniversary MV

A classic song that represents Okinawa, widely known as the image song for NHK’s “30th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion to the Mainland.” It’s popular across generations, but when a man in his 50s sings it at karaoke or in a snack bar, his life experience adds a persuasive depth that warms up the room.

Since the song itself has a gentle Okinawan feel, it’s better to sing softly, as if speaking to the listener, rather than belting it out.

The melody flows smoothly, so try not to break the phrases too much—take a good breath and sing through to the end of each line.

That will help bring out the right atmosphere.
