[Alexandros] – After School (MV)

[Alexandros] is a rock band known for a wide range of sounds—from classic rock to alternative and emo.

They’ve been active since the 2000s, but their momentum has only grown in the 2020s.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Afterschool.

It’s a British-style alternative rock track with a consistently gentle vocal line throughout.

While it features many long tones, the vocal range is quite narrow, making it easier to track the pitch accurately—another reason it’s a strong candidate for a high score.

Dragon Ash “The sun rises again and repeats”

A single released in May 1998, this monumental work established Dragon Ash’s early style.

Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime DT Eightron, the track features the trio fusing rap and rock to create a distinctive groove.

Kj’s message—both wistful and powerful—will likely resonate deeply with those who spent their youth wrestling with similar struggles.

Despite its epic length of over seven minutes, its relaxed tempo makes it comfortable to sing even at karaoke.

On your way home from work, sing it while recalling the passion of those days, and you’re sure to feel energized for tomorrow.

MAN WITH A MISSION「FLY AGAIN」 (Official Video)

This is a signature song by MAN WITH A MISSION, whose striking, unconventional visuals featuring wolf heads leave a powerful impression.

It portrays an indomitable spirit that searches for the meaning of life, looks back on the past, and spreads its wings to take flight once more.

Confronting life’s impermanence and harshness, it delivers a strong message about finding one’s own truth, fused with an energetic sound that inspires listeners.

The track was included on their major-label debut album “MAN WITH A MISSION,” released in June 2011, and was chosen as a theme song for tvk’s “Mutoma” and TV Tokyo’s “Goddotan.” When you’ve been knocked down yet still want to look ahead, its straightforward lyrics will stand by you.

It’s a song that makes you want to experience the unity of a massive sing-along at a live show.

Queen Bee 'KaeN (FIRE)' Official MV

This is the fifth single by Queen Bee, a band from Hyogo Prefecture, and it was selected as the opening theme for the first cour of the TV anime Dororo.

The main challenge when singing this song is the ultra-high tones achieved through frequent use of falsetto, especially in the chorus.

Another key point is how well you can reproduce the somewhat unresolved, simmering atmosphere that runs throughout the entire track—and how much restraint the singer can maintain while keeping up with it.

Try practicing while studying the contrast between moments that break through and moments that are held back.
