The World Is Falling in Love / CHiCO with HoneyWorks

A heart-fluttering youth song that puts you in a romantic mood just by listening! This track is a collaboration between the creator unit HoneyWorks and singer CHiCO.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime Blue Spring Ride and became a hit.

The sparkling band sound alone evokes a sweet-and-sour love story.

And the lyrics, themed around “becoming aware of love for the first time,” read like a standalone novel.

Sakanaction / Kaiju -Music Video-

This song, created as the theme for the anime “Chi.: On the Movements of the Earth,” marks a new frontier for them.

It features intricate arrangements and emotive vocals, was released on February 20, 2025, and in March of the same year a video release of an arena tour named after the song followed.

The A-melody has a distinctive rhythm, and the chorus stands out with a melody line that stretches and swells.

If you get drawn into vocalist Yamaguchi’s delivery, it might become difficult to hit the pitches, so I think it’s better to sing it in a matter-of-fact, steady manner.

Spitz / Beautiful Fin

Spitz is a Japanese band that has continued to be popular since the 1990s.

Their catchy melodies stick in your head no matter where you pick them up.

Especially since the 2020s, they’ve been churning out hits to the point that you could call it a resurgence.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Utsukushii Hire (Beautiful Fin).

Their music is orthodox pop, which makes it easier to sing compared to other genres, and this track, too, stands out for its friendly, approachable melody with that same quality.

It might seem a bit high, but it’s a range that most women can handle without issue, so try not to switch to falsetto unnecessarily.

Macaroni Enpitsu “August Heat Haze” MV

August Heat Haze, released on May 28, 2021.

Macaroni Enpitsu is an especially popular rock band among the students who come to my vocal lessons! Many people say, “I want to sing it, but it’s too high…,” but if your chest voice isn’t too low, I’m sure you can do it.

If your chest voice is low, you won’t be able to hit the high notes if you just push and strain.

You might want to imitate Hattori’s raspy tone, but hold off at first.

Place your finger on the dip between your collarbones and imagine the sound coming from there.

Don’t try to pop out the high notes suddenly—prepare as if taking a running start.

And then timing! Keep a solid groove so you can accent the high notes at the right moments!

Creepy Nuts – Otonoke [Official MV] [Dandadan Opening]

Centered on Gen Z, the TV anime Dandadan became a social phenomenon, and its opening theme can be described as a new frontier in hip-hop woven by R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga.

Its title is a coined word meaning “sound apparition,” expressing how music itself slips into people’s hearts like something supernatural.

The lyrics are sprinkled with references to horror icons like Sadako and Kayako, as well as phrases that evoke other Jump works, sublimating the daring theme of fusing the occult with hip-hop.

The breakneck beat, relentless flow, and intricately calculated rhymes have the power to pull listeners straight into the story’s world.

Released in October 2024, the track topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and earned high praise both at home and abroad.

It’s an anime song recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the anime’s worldview or experience a new form of hip-hop.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE「breakfast」Official Music Video

Let me introduce a perfect song to kick off a refreshing morning.

This track by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE was released for streaming in June 2025 and became widely known as the theme song for Fuji TV’s information program “Sun! Shine.” It’s also included on their 10th-anniversary album, “10.” While it’s a dance number that showcases Motoki Omori’s shining high-tone vocals, its range is ideal for women to practice switching between chest voice and falsetto.

Rather than focusing on fine techniques, it’s important to start by moving your body and getting into the rhythm.

If you sing while feeling the positive, forward-looking energy in the lyrics, the karaoke vibe will instantly brighten.

Try it when you’re feeling a bit down or in a situation where everyone wants to get pumped up!

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Natsu no Kage” is popular across generations and has a calm, slightly bittersweet vibe.

It’s the kind of song you’d want to listen to through your earphones on the way home with friends.

Since the range is B2 to A4 and not too wide, those trademark ultra-high notes from Mrs.

GREEN APPLE barely appear.

It may feel a bit low for women, but it’s a relaxing number to sing.

The key points when singing are, of course, the low notes and the switch into falsetto.

The melody starts mostly in the low range and might be hard to produce, but try singing like Omori-san: raise your eyebrows and imagine sending a lot of breath forward toward your eyebrows.

When switching from chest voice to falsetto, you’ll want to keep the resonance in the same place.

Similarly, use plenty of breath and aim to resonate around your eyebrows and head—sing gently and softly with a floating feel, and the transition will be smoother.

Keep that in mind!
