NICO Touches the Walls - Hologram

While stylishly digesting influences from Western music and solidly adapting them into a J-pop format, NICO Touches the Walls carved out a unique presence.

Although they sadly disbanded in 2019, many people now in their thirties were likely fans.

Their classic song Hologram is a must-try at karaoke.

As the opening theme for the second season of the hugely popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, even those not deeply familiar with the band have probably heard it.

Its cool, driving energy, emo-rock-style guitar phrases, and soaring vocals deliver a catchy melody that captivates even first-time listeners.

The chorus does include moments with slightly higher notes, but overall the melody is easy to sing; if you have a lower voice, adjusting the key will make it more approachable.
