Yorushika is a rock duo that weaves together melodies with a floating feel and distinctive guitar sounds.

Their lyrics, which depict the fleeting nature of youth and the changing seasons, gently nestle close to the heart like a spring breeze and tenderly wrap one in hope for the future.

Released in January 2024 as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, this work is their first new release since Gento and is also featured in a web commercial for Suntory Gin SUI.

The interplay between the guitar and vocals creates a refreshing atmosphere, making it a perfect song for the season of taking new steps, such as moving up a grade or starting school.

UVERworld 'The Song You Like'

Haven’t you ever felt, “I want to know what the person I like, likes!” if you’ve had a one-sided crush? UVERworld’s “Kimi no Suki na Uta” is a love song that expresses the pain of unrequited love and overflowing feelings by singing “the song the person you like, likes.” You can find every part of that person lovable, yet lack the courage to confess, leaving the protagonist frustrated with their own helplessness—a feeling many can relate to.

Though the band had a strong rock image, this song revealed their gentle side that stays close to people’s hearts.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Dance Hall” Official Music Video

A pop dance number by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.

If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.

For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!

SEKAI NO OWARI「Habit」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.

As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.

However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.

While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.
