MY FIRST STORY – Merry-Go-Round – Official Music Video

With recent collaborations with artists like HYDE, the rock band MY FIRST STORY has been gaining even more momentum.

They’re known for a hard style that’s essentially hard rock with a touch of heavy metal.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is their new track, “Merry-Go-Round.” It features a nostalgic tone with a hint of kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) essence.

The vocal line is simple, and the death-voice parts are used as chorus rather than the main vocal line, so even those who can’t do death vocals can sing it without any problem.

Creephyp – Zarameki (Music Video)

These days it’s easier than ever to explore different genres, but I think J-rock fans remain as passionate as ever.

For junior high school students who love J-rock, I recommend “Zarameki” by CreepHyp.

The song has a cohesive feel reminiscent of indie rock and dream pop, with gently undulating melodies throughout.

As a cutting-edge J-rock track, it might be the perfect song for trend-savvy junior high students.

Future IslandMori Calliope94rank/position

[Performance Video] Future Island ~Future Island~ / Mori Calliope (Official Theme Song for ONE PIECE Volume 106)

The official theme song for volume 106 of the manga ONE PIECE is “Future Island.” The singer is Mori Calliope, a Hololive VTuber who is popular in the English-speaking world.

While the track has an EDM-style sound and leans somewhat toward Western music, it’s by no means difficult to sing.

Since the performer isn’t primarily a professional singer, the rhythm and melody are arranged in a way that’s easy for Japanese listeners to grasp, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it without trouble.

If you’re thinking of covering this song, try adding just a barely noticeable touch of Auto-Tune—doing so will make the track shine dramatically, so consider giving it a shot.

Grandfather’s ClockHirai Ken95rank/position

Ken Hirai / Grandfather's Clock

This is a cover by Ken Hirai of a song that sold over a million copies in the United States in the 1800s.

It was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and used as the entrance march for the National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

Since it was featured on Minna no Uta, it’s a song that even children can sing easily.

bitter lossDAZBEE96rank/position

DAZBEE | “Bitter Loss” M/V

DAZBEE is a female singer with a uniquely transparent and striking voice.

Although she’s from South Korea, she’s primarily active in Japan and enjoys exceptional popularity in the utaite community.

If you’re a junior high school girl with a fujoshi streak, you’ve probably heard her sing at least once.

Her new song, “Bitter Loss,” features a melody that feels lofty, but the overall range isn’t very wide.

If you set it to the right key and make good use of a whispery voice, you should be able to sing it without much difficulty.

Garden of Light and Dream of FishHomecomings97rank/position

Homecomings – Garden of Light and Fish Dreams (Official Music Video)

Homecomings is a four-piece band that has gained popularity for lyrics that capture the real emotions of young people and a catchy musical style.

Formed by four members who belonged to a university folk song club, the band features many memorable, folk-influenced lyrics.

Among Homecomings’ works, the one I especially recommend is “Hikari no Niwa to Sakana no Yume” (“Garden of Light and Fish’s Dream”).

It’s crafted in a classic J-pop style, and since there are no particularly high vocal parts, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

Masqueradeharha98rank/position

harha – Masquerade (Fuji TV Tuesday 9 p.m. drama “STINGERS: Metropolitan Police Undercover Investigation Verification Office” opening theme) - Music Video

harha is a music duo consisting of track maker Haruha and vocalist Yonabe.

Their hallmark is a genre-free musicality, and lately their momentum has been building rapidly.

Among harha’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Masquerade.” If I had to sum it up, it’s quintessentially orthodox.

The range, the pitch movement, and the tempo are all perfectly balanced, so the vocal line has no quirks whatsoever.

A junior high school girl with a steady vocal register should be able to sing it without any trouble.
