FUNKY MONKEY BABYS "You’re Not Here Anymore"

This is a gem of a ballad that sings of the sweet, aching pain of heartbreak.

The farewell scene on the station platform and the memories the two shared are delicately portrayed and delivered with a melody that pierces the heart.

Among FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ works, it stands out for its rich emotional expression.

Released in October 2007, it reached No.

8 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It was selected as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Otona no Shikaku,” earning broad support across generations.

Hated by Life. / Mafumafu [I tried singing]

This song portrays the conflict and hope of living, with Mafumafu’s transparent vocals resonating deeply in the heart.

The lyrics delicately express both resistance to and acceptance of life, striking a chord with many young people and gaining attention on social media.

RAINSEKAI NO OWARI99rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “RAIN” Short Version PV Theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”

Released in July 2017, it was the theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”! I think it’s a SEKAOWA-style ballad with a gentle, swaying feel.

The overall vocal range is D#3–F#4, which isn’t too high, so I recommend singing in a calm, storytelling manner.

If you use diaphragmatic breathing, take in plenty of air, and push a block of breath forward as you sing, it should give a gentle impression.

The trick is to let your voice out slowly! For the higher notes, make your voice a bit sharper and release it quickly to make it easier to hit the pitch.

Try singing as if you’re imitating Fukase.

Don’t be bound by the past; the way it cherishes each moment spent with friends is sure to give you courage.

Released in February 2019, this song was created as the theme for the film “Kingdom” and is included on the album “Eye of the Storm.” You can sense the impact from the episode in which the film’s producer said it made his soul “tremble with heat.” Listen to it on anxious nights before taking on a challenge or when you want to reaffirm your bonds with friends, and it will surely give you a push forward.
