DOES 'Donten' (TV Tokyo anime 'Gintama' opening theme)

As the opening theme for the fifth season of the TV Tokyo anime Gintama, a lot of people probably think of Don’ten when they hear Gintama! DOES is a band whose lower registers resonate more than the high ones.

It’s a rock track popular with men for karaoke, where stable low notes and a raw expressive style are key to high scores! The song itself is short at about three minutes.

Even first-time listeners can pick up Don’ten easily, and it’s highly recommended for rock fans! The trick to low notes is to use your breath well and release your voice slowly straight ahead.

If you push your voice out, the low notes resonate more and you can hear your own singing better.

That, of course, makes it easier to stay on pitch.

It’s important to get your voice solidly into the mic when you sing.

Spitz / Kaede

A gem of a ballad that weaves a fleeting yet beautiful farewell scene with a clear, transparent melody.

Released by Spitz in July 1998 from the album “Fake Fur,” this song tenderly sings of longing for what has been lost.

It portrays the heartache that gradually softens over time and the strength to keep looking forward, carried by a warm, gentle performance.

Beginning with its use in the 1999 Fuji TV drama “Over Time” and continuing through to the network’s 2022 series “silent,” it has colored many stories.

It’s a song to listen to when your heart is deeply wounded or when you’ve said goodbye to someone dear.

Masamune Kusano’s tender, comforting vocals are sure to become a source of support for your heart.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Kusushiki” Official Music Video

We’re pleased to introduce a new track by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, written as the opening theme for the second cour of Season 2 of the anime The Apothecary Diaries.

Its title derives from the archaic word kusushi—the origin of the modern word for “medicine”—and a mysterious, uncanny atmosphere runs throughout.

The lyrics are striking, deftly capturing the power of words and the complexity of human relationships, likening feelings of love and apology to the moon and the sun.

It’s an ambitious piece that fuses band sound with oriental elements, and its whirlwind progression keeps listeners engaged.

Released as a digital single in April 2025, it’s also drawing attention as a song marking the band’s 10th anniversary year.

Perfectly matched to the series’ enigmatic imperial-harem setting, it’s recommended for those who enjoy Japanese aesthetics or crave dramatic musical developments.

Kenshi Yonezu – Lemon

A song released in March 2018 as Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth single.

Written specifically as the theme for the TBS drama “Unnatural,” it has set an astonishing record with over 900 million views on YouTube.

The lyrics, which express feelings for a loved one who has been lost, portray the pain of bereavement and the bittersweetness of living on while carrying memories of that person, resonating deeply with listeners.

Its bouncy shuffle beat and dynamic melody make it quite challenging to sing at karaoke, but that only heightens the sense of accomplishment when you pull it off.

It’s a masterpiece that’s perfect for creating a reflective mood or livening up the room with a well-known classic.

Saucy Dog "Someday" MUSIC VIDEO

A ballad that blends Saucy’s signature “vulnerability and kindness.” From the intro it sounds like a full-on band track and you expect something intense, but the gentle feel from the first verse draws you in.

The song’s overall range is D3–E5, and the lift from the chorus goes into quite a high range—if you try to belt it, you probably won’t manage it.

Aim to use your breath steadily.

When adding emotion, think less about “shouting” and more about “sending your voice far.” When aiming for distance, try moving the mic slightly away from yourself—this reduces the sense of pressure and helps you relax naturally.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE「Soranji」Official Music Video

Is there any other song that sings of the preciousness of life with such tenderness and strength? Released in November 2022 as Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s first single in about three and a half years, this piece was written as the theme song for the film “From Siberia With Love,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya and Keiko Kitagawa.

In step with a story that upholds love for family against the harsh backdrop of a Siberian labor camp, the lyrics—like reciting by heart one’s feelings for a beloved—etch themselves into the soul.

Its grand arrangement featuring strings wraps unspoken everyday emotions and hope for tomorrow into a sweeping ballad.

It’s a song that gently stays by the side of anyone choosing to believe in the future, no matter how difficult the days may be.

Mr.Children “I Want to Hold You” MUSIC VIDEO

It’s an eternal love song written and composed by vocalist Kazutoshi Sakurai.

It first appeared on the album “Kind of Love.” Although total sales were about 60,000 copies, it later received Gold Disc certification and continues to be loved across generations.

The overall vocal range spans D3 to A#4, expanding and building toward the latter half.

When singing, project your voice confidently without hesitation to maintain stability throughout.

Since head voice appears at the end of the chorus, keep resonance in your head so you can transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.

Also, the final chorus modulates upward.

Raise your energy and stay mindful so your pitch doesn’t drop!
