Honoonosenshi

SEKAI NO OWARI’s “Honoo no Senshi” (Flame Warrior), with lyrics penned by guitarist Nakajin, has been embraced by a wide range of generations for its “straightforward words that resonate” and for being “a song that encouraged me during my student days.” Released in July 2012, the track carries the message that “even if things end in failure, what you’ve built up is never wasted,” capturing the hearts of those who persistently strive toward their goals.

Among Sekai no Owari’s works, its relatively narrow vocal range also makes it a song that’s easy to try at karaoke.

DropoutSEKAI NO OWARI51rank/position

Dropout

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “Dropout.” This piece features a sound influenced by Western music, and all of the lyrics are sung in English.

In terms of genre, it’s closest to electropop, and it even includes a drop, a hallmark of electronic styles.

While the English can be challenging, the vocal lines themselves are very simple compared to Western pop, so it should be easy to sing.

If you’re not confident in English, try focusing on liaison, which connects the vowel at the end of one word to the consonant at the beginning of the next.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Encyclopedia”

SEKAI NO OWARI is a rock band that has been active for many years.

While they are categorized as a rock band, almost all of their songs fall under J-pop, and they consistently release works infused with unique concepts.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Zukan.” The vocal range spans roughly from mid1 B to high B, which is somewhat wide, but the pitch transitions are gentle, making it overall an easy song to sing.

It’s also one of their latest tracks, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Starlight Parade (solo acoustic)Fukase（SEKAI NO OWARI）53rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI’s Fukase performs an acoustic version of “Starlight Parade” in a new commercial; the second installment of the ‘Tanrei Green Label’ ad co-starring Mikako Tabe is released.

This commercial features SEKAI NO OWARI’s Fukase performing a stripped-down version of “Starlight Parade.” As with the other Tannrei Green Label commercials, the music, visuals, and beer are a perfect match.

On days off, I’d love to relax and toast with beer and music just like in this ad.

yumeSEKAI NO OWARI54rank/position

Yume

Released in November 2011, “yume” is a hidden gem by SEKAI NO OWARI, with lyrics by Fukase, composition by Saori, and arrangement by Nakajin.

The lyrics depict someone so protective of their dreams that the fear of not achieving them takes over, leaving them frozen—ultimately revealing that continuing to pursue your dreams is more important than realizing them.

The refreshing, youthful sound is pleasantly uplifting.

The vocal range is slightly on the high side, but it’s an easy song to sing smoothly if you ride the rhythm, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.

Butterfly EffectSEKAI NO OWARI55rank/position

Butterfly Effect

SEKAI NO OWARI’s new challenge paints a fantastical world where butterflies dance.

Saori’s piano and gentle vocals weave a beautiful melody that resonates with the heart.

Released in June 2023, the song drew attention as the opening theme for the Fuji TV drama “My Marriage Proposal” (Watashi no Oyome-kun).

The lyrics are imbued with themes of coincidence, fate, and the intuition and romance that can shape the course of life.

Played as background music during a wedding reception’s welcome scene, it can relax guests and make the waiting time for the bride and groom more enjoyable.

It is a track filled with hope for a happy future.

Death DiscoSEKAI NO OWARI56rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「Death Disco」

An unusual song for SEKAI NO OWARI, who usually have many refreshing tracks.

The lyrics, which rattle off, “There’s no such thing as God for atheists, right? Then what exactly is justice?” are brimming with anger.

Because it’s such a catchy tune, that anger doesn’t leave a negative impression—maybe that’s part of Sekai no Owari’s appeal.

Be sure to check out the lyrics, too!
