ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

Just hearing the intro guitar riff is enough to get many people’s blood pumping, isn’t it? Released in August 2004, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “Rewrite” is a rock tune that’s remained a karaoke staple for years.

Chosen as an opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, the song is also included on the classic album Sol-fa and is widely known as one of the band’s signature tracks.

Its emotional lyrics, which feel like an eruption of pent-up feelings, are sure to resonate deeply with those overwhelmed by daily work.

When the chorus—the biggest climax—hits, the best way to sing it is to forget about pitch and just shout at the top of your lungs! Next time you’re with coworkers or old school friends, why not grab the mic and scream your heart out?

The Future Projection II

DREAMS COME TRUE’s signature song “Mirai Yosouzu II.” When it comes to DCT ballads, this is the one, right? Lots of people probably sing it at karaoke.

First, since the opening notes are quite high, be careful not to let your guard down from the very start.

If you listen closely to the intro and form a clear image of the pitch, you should be fine.

Also, because the tempo is relaxed, try to sing carefully without letting phrases run together, almost as if you’re placing each note.

In the chorus, the melody goes into a higher range, so sing boldly and hit the pitches with a grand, expansive feel.
