SEKAI NO OWARI “Flame and Forest Carnival”

A signature song by SEKAI NO OWARI that was used as the theme for NTT Plala’s “Hikari TV” commercial.

Its dazzling brass band arrangement and a moving beat said to sample the sound of fireworks announce the start of a fantastical carnival.

Based on Fukase’s real-life experiences, the song tells a forbidden love story featuring a mummy man and a wizard, and the bittersweetness lurking beneath its festive mood is deeply affecting.

Released in April 2014 and included on the album “Tree,” the track won an Excellence Award at the 56th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a pop tune that makes a Halloween party—filled with nostalgic memories—even more dramatic.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Present”

A warm message song that speaks to those grappling with the worries and conflicts of adolescence, telling them that their very existence is a gift.

The lyrics were written by Saori of SEKAI NO OWARI, and they read like a gentle letter to her past self.

While it empathizes with the loneliness and anxiety felt in school life, it also portrays—without sounding preachy—the experience of being saved by someone’s words or by music.

Written in 2015 as the set piece for the NHK National School Music Competition’s junior high division, it was performed the same year on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen with a junior high school choir.

In 2024, it was also selected as the Japanese end theme for the film Inside Out 2.

It’s the perfect song to celebrate a loved one’s new beginning—at graduation, school entrance, birthdays, and more.

Nemurihime

SEKAI NO OWARI is a rock band that has been active for many years in Japan’s J-rock scene.

While they have a wide musical range, their most iconic works are arguably the songs colored by a fantastical worldview.

“Nemurihime” is a piece where that musical style of theirs explodes in full force.

Because Fukase’s voice is high in timbre, many listeners may feel that this song is difficult due to its high pitch.

Surprisingly, however, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so it shouldn’t feel challenging in terms of range.

The vocal line is also fairly even without dramatic rises and falls, so if you focus on sustained long tones and earning points with vibrato, you should naturally be able to score highly.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Amber”

People often think SEKAI NO OWARI has lots of high-pitched songs, but the new track Kohaku doesn’t have those belted high notes, and its relaxed tempo makes it a calm song to sing! The melody is straightforward and easy to remember, so it’s great for karaoke beginners and for those who struggle with high notes.

The overall vocal range is C3–A4, and breath control is the key.

No matter what you sing, if you can’t produce your voice comfortably, it won’t be enjoyable, so at first, focus more on letting your voice out with ease rather than hitting the exact pitches.

If you keep a straight face, you’ll definitely end up singing from your throat, so make the kind of surprised face you would when something startles you.

You should feel the back of your throat gently open.

With that face, take in plenty of air and try singing as if you’re placing your voice softly in front of your face.

Once you’re used to that, start paying attention to pitch and sing more carefully.

Rainbow-Colored WarSEKAI NO OWARI14rank/position

End of the World / Rainbow-Colored War

In contrast to its pop, slightly fantastical sound, this song by SEKAI NO OWARI pierces with a biting message.

From the perspective of small creatures like flowers and insects, the work exposes the deceit behind the “peace” and “freedom” proclaimed by humans.

The theme of the “invisible war” we join without noticing—or pretend not to notice—is quintessentially SEKAI NO OWARI.

The track appears on EARTH, a landmark indie-era album released in April 2010.

It’s a song that makes you realize that our ordinary, everyday lives may be built upon someone else’s sacrifice.
