Sakanaction “Sazanka”

A ballad that portrays the loneliness and anxiety felt in the pursuit of a dream, as well as the warmth of someone watching over you.

SEKAI NO OWARI’s “Sazanka” is a single released in February 2018 and became widely known as the NHK theme song for coverage of the PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympics.

Rather than simply urging listeners to “do your best,” the song is filled with a gentle kindness that seems to affirm every attempt to overcome setbacks and pain.

Anyone chasing a dream may wonder, “Is this really the right path for me?” In those moments, this song will quietly stand by you, saying, “I know how hard you’ve been trying.”

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

In 2013, it was the theme song for the movie Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-class Gourmet Survival!!.

It has a bright, positive melody with a straightforward pitch line.

The tempo is steady, making it very compatible with scoring systems—perfect for high scores among anime songs.

Since it’s not a belting type of song, using your breath lightly as if singing gently should make it easier overall.

Keep your eyebrows raised so your head resonates, and try mimicking vocalist Fukase’s facial expressions! It should make it easier to catch the pitch and sing with a stable voice.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Highest Altitude” ONE PIECE Lyric MV

A song by SEKAI NO OWARI that powerfully pushes the backs of those about to dive into an unknown world.

Its message—that by not looking away from your own weaknesses but accepting them and even turning them into allies, you can soar higher than anyone—turns the anxieties of a new beginning into solid hope.

Released as a digital single in September 2023, the track was written as the theme song for the beloved anime One Piece.

It was later included on the album Nautilus, released in March 2024.

It’s the perfect number for a farewell party when you want to passionately cheer on someone single-mindedly charging toward lofty goals—like a colleague leaving to chase a dream or a student retiring from a club to step onto the next stage.

This track by SEKAI NO OWARI features an addictive, mysterious melody that leaves a strong impression.

Released in June 2022 as the theme song for the film “Holics xxxHOLiC,” it won the Grand Prix at the 64th Japan Record Awards.

In the music video, the members play teachers in a school setting and perform a distinctive dance, whose unique choreography became a major topic on social media.

The lyrics sound the alarm about people’s unconscious tendency to categorize themselves and others, conveying the importance of breaking fixed ideas.

The dance is easy to learn and has choreography that both kids and adults can enjoy together—perfect for getting everyone excited at a Halloween party!

SEKAI NO OWARI “Starlight Parade” Music Video

An impressive song where the beauty of a dreamlike starry sky intertwines with the poignancy of loss.

Released in November 2011, it is SEKAI NO OWARI’s second major-label single.

Its ethereal sound—delicate piano melodies that evoke twinkling stars combined with a grand string arrangement—gently soothes the heart.

Originally written for the joint NHK and Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association radio campaign, it was later featured as an insert song in the film “Love for Beginners” and used in a Toyota Ractis commercial.

It’s a warm, comforting track that makes you want to take a slow walk while gazing up at the night sky.

RAINSEKAI NO OWARI6rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “RAIN” Short Version PV Theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”

Released in July 2017, it was the theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”! I think it’s a SEKAOWA-style ballad with a gentle, swaying feel.

The overall vocal range is D#3–F#4, which isn’t too high, so I recommend singing in a calm, storytelling manner.

If you use diaphragmatic breathing, take in plenty of air, and push a block of breath forward as you sing, it should give a gentle impression.

The trick is to let your voice out slowly! For the higher notes, make your voice a bit sharper and release it quickly to make it easier to hit the pitch.

Try singing as if you’re imitating Fukase.

Dragon Night

Here’s a perfect classic by SEKAI NO OWARI for when you want to get the party going.

Released in October 2014 as their seventh major single, it was used as the ending theme for the film TOKYO FANTASY SEKAI NO OWARI, which the band members appeared in.

Dutch DJ Nicky Romero took part in the sound production, resulting in a danceable track that fuses EDM-style electronic elements with band sounds.

The lyrics revolve around themes like “truce” and “toast,” making it an ideal fit for drinking gatherings.

The chorus has an easy-to-remember melody, so if everyone sings along, it’s sure to hype up the mood! It’s also included on the album Tree, so if you’re having a get-together with SEKAI NO OWARI fans, definitely add it to the playlist.
