Ryokuoushoku Shakai “Prank of Time” Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Toki no Itazura

A song by the four-piece rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai—known by the nickname “Ryokushaka”—who have gained popularity with pop numbers featuring straightforward, clear vocals.

Included on their 5th single “Hi wa Mata Noboru kara,” this track blends transparent, floating guitar tones with piano timbres to create a sense of melancholy.

While it doesn’t require advanced techniques and maintains a relaxed tempo overall, the snare accents significantly shape the arrangement’s feel, so it’s good to be mindful of dynamics when playing.

It’s a recommended practice piece that even beginner drummers can tackle with confidence.

It leaves a strong impression with its upbeat feeling for greeting the morning and a pop rhythm that excites children’s hearts.

Created by Ryokuoushoku Shakai in March 2024 as the commercial song for Yasai Seikatsu, this piece conveys the importance of spending the day with a bright mindset.

Warm lyrics that feel like opening the door to a colorful world blend beautifully with an energetic sound, resulting in a track that lifts your spirits just by listening.

Pink BlueRyokushokushakai32rank/position

Ryokuoushoku Shakai “Pink Blue” Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Pink Blue

This song is included on Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s fourth studio album, Pink Blue, which was released in May 2023.

The track we’re introducing here, Pink Blue, serves as the album’s title track, and its music video was released ahead of the album.

When singing this song at karaoke, the key points are not only how precisely you can trace the vocal melody, which moves intensely and intricately up and down, but also whether you can deliver with a powerful, resonant tone across both high and low ranges.

Combined with the slightly up-tempo feel, it’s quite a challenging song to sing; however, for those confident in their vocals, it’s one you should definitely try.

Efficiently converting breath into voice is crucial, so study that aspect as well—and be sure to practice carefully so you don’t strain your throat.

Winter MorningRyokushokushakai33rank/position

“Winter Morning / Ryokuoushoku Shakai” covered by Sakuya Saori [Acoustic Performance]

A classic ballad that sets a heart swaying between bravado and true feelings against a winter backdrop.

This track, placed at the end of Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s 2020 album “SINGALONG,” was written by vocalist Haruko Nagaya during her university days, with moving to Tokyo in mind.

Its lyrics—where the small lies we tell to hide our loneliness intersect with the resolve to keep moving forward—are tenderly supported by delicate piano and string arrangements.

It’s a song that gently stays by the side of those who’ve started living on their own or are striving in a new environment.

A winter tune perfect for a quiet night when you want to face yourself.

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'illusion' Official Video (Short Ver.) / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – illusion

Ryokuoushoku Shakai is often associated with songs that are high in pitch, but “illusion,” which started streaming in July 2025, has little range between high and low notes, making it a key you can sing without strain.

If you’re thinking, “I love Ryokushaka, but their songs are too high for me to sing…,” this one is a great song to try! The number-one point of this track is the rhythm.

It has a step-like groove throughout, and once you lose it, it’s hard to get back on, but using your body or hands while singing makes it easier to catch the groove and sing.

It’s best to memorize the lyrics and melody to some extent before you try singing.

It’s a cool song, so let’s learn it together!

Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Tsuzuku” was released in 2025 as a commercial song for the Docomo Future Museum.

The track moves at a gentle pace, creating a grand atmosphere through the layering of soft piano and radiant brass tones.

The contrast between quietly spoken passages and expansive sections highlights the message of supporting the journey toward the future, delivering a powerful emotional impact.

In the commercial, children are portrayed contemplating the future, and their imagination is used to express hope for what lies ahead.
