Motohiro Hata – Raspberry Lover Music Video

Motohiro Hata’s 23rd single, released in November 2019.

While Hata is strongly associated with singing ballad-type songs using a beautiful mixed voice, in this track he effectively employs a mixed voice with a strong chest voice—more natural voice components—to deliver a fairly powerful high tone.

In the chorus, especially in the phrase where he sings the song title, the voice can get tight if you force it, so practice keeping your throat open to produce high notes without strain.

Motohiro Hata “Stellar Days” Music Video

Stellar Days by Motohiro Hata, famed as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” is a masterpiece.

While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics carry a somewhat grand impression, yet they mesh well with the show, making the song highly memorable.

It leans toward the emotional side, and the verses through the pre-chorus evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.

With so many facets packed into a single track, it’s a piece that grows richer the more you listen.

Be sure to check it out.

Motohiro Hata – “Sumire” Music Video

This is Motohiro Hata’s 20th single, released in February 2016.

It’s a very refreshing song that evokes the gentle sunshine of spring.

Hata’s light, lively vocals further enhance that effect.

If you sing this at karaoke, there are parts—such as the latter half of the chorus—where the melodic range is a bit wide, but once you get past that, it’s quite easy to remember and sing.

If you’re not comfortable with high notes, be mindful of the key setting and give it a try.

A good tip for making it sound nice is to avoid forcing your voice and sing softly.

Motohiro Hata “Put Magic in Your Pocket” Official Audio

Released digitally in January 2026, marking the start of the 20th anniversary year since the major-label debut.

It was written as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Mirai no Musuko.” The warm, acoustic sound—so characteristic of Hata—is striking.

The lyrics carry a message that embraces the fragility and doubts felt in everyday life, deeply linking with the drama’s story.

It’s a gentle, comforting mid-tempo track you’ll want to listen to on the way home.

Motohiro Hata / “Metro Film” (Short Ver.)

The lyrics Hata Motohiro writes are so heartrending and sentimental—they really seep into your heart, don’t they? This song, too, is packed with imagery that conjures up all sorts of scenes, yet it carries a certain melancholy… it truly resonates.

I’m sure everyone who listens can relate to the lyrics that reveal so many regrets and doubts.

Its simple structure also makes it easy to sing at karaoke, don’t you think?

Motohiro Hata – Afterimage (Official Music Video)

This is Motohiro Hata’s fifth digital single, released in July 2022.

It was used as an insert song for TV Asahi’s Thursday drama “Roppongi Class.” While the song is a ballad that conveys a gently melancholic mood throughout, what becomes crucial when singing it at karaoke ultimately comes down to vocal expressiveness.

It’s important to avoid rough or careless delivery even in the high notes, and I feel it’s also essential to fully understand the lyrics’ content before singing.

Watercolor MoonHata Motohiro21rank/position

Hata Motohiro – “Watercolor Moon” Music Video

Hata Motohiro’s masterpiece “Suisa no Tsuki” is marked by its emotional melody.

Released after the nationwide hit “Himawari no Yakusoku,” this track has a notably acoustic and mellow finish.

Its vocal range is relatively narrow at mid1F to hiC, but the chorus features sustained high phrases up to hiC, making it harder to sing than it might sound.

If you have a high voice, you might try singing the falsetto parts with mixed voice.

Be sure to check it out.
