Ikimono-gakari “I Want to Keep Smiling” Music Video

A resolute will that simply keeps facing forward comes through and makes my heart swell.

Released in July 2011 as Ikimono-gakari’s 20th single, it was used as the commercial song for Nissan’s “New Nissan Serena.” It’s an up-tempo number that conveys a heartfelt wish to keep smiling even in difficult times, straight and true.

Even though it runs over six minutes, the grand arrangement by Seiji Kameda and the powerful vocals by Kiyoe Yoshioka blend so beautifully that it feels like it’s over in a flash.

The song won an Excellence Award at the 53rd Japan Record Awards and is also included on the album NEWTRAL.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling down or need energy for tomorrow.

Ikimono-gakari “BAKU” Music Video

It was released as a digital-only single by Ikimono-gakari on January 18, 2021, and later released on CD on February 24 of the same year as their 33rd single.

The song was written as the theme for the TV Tokyo anime series BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.

It’s an up-tempo, energetic rock number with a vocal melody that doesn’t require a very wide range and is crafted to be very approachable, making it an excellent choice for aiming for a high score in karaoke.

Try to sing powerfully throughout the entire song.

Also, be careful not to go off pitch when the key changes and modulates up in the final chorus.

Ikimono-gakari 'Uruwashiki Hito' Music Video

Ikimono-gakari is a duo whose clear yet distinctive vocals and wide-ranging, expressive songs have earned them great popularity.

Their fifth single, “Uruwashiki Hito,” released as a double A-side with “Seishun no Tobira,” was featured in a commercial for Coca-Cola’s Aquarius Vitamin Guard.

The lyrics, which straightforwardly convey feelings of love, may make male listeners feel as though the words are directed at them.

While the catchy melody and refreshing sound make it an enjoyable track, many of the lines are fast-paced, so be sure to practice before performing it at karaoke.

While many love songs dwell on the heartache of unrequited feelings, this one expresses the emotions of being in love in a very positive light.

Just listening warms your heart—an uplifting love song perfect for when you want to give your all in love.

Ikimono-gakari “Kira Kira ni Hikaru” Music Video

Ikimonogakari’s seventh digital-only single, released in August 2020.

The slightly bittersweet melody is very striking.

Many people might associate Ikimonogakari with bright, energetic songs that have lots of high notes, but I think this song is relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t comfortable with high pitches.

Rather than trying to sing it perfectly, it might feel better if you focus on understanding the world of the lyrics and sing with the intention of expressing that.

A gently crafted song that portrays the glow of youth and the poignancy of parting was released in April 2012 as the theme song for the feature-length anime Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker.

Written and composed by then-member Hotaka Yamashita, the piece explores themes of past memories, farewells, and the hope for reunion, and it reached No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Ranking.

Perfect for the refreshing spring season, the song features a fresh, youthful vocal that evokes memories of adolescence and a message filled with hope for the future.

It’s a track that stays close during times of graduation and goodbyes, gently encouraging you to take that next step forward.
