God knows… “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” [Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu] Kadokawa-licensed MAD [Bass Performance]

“God knows…,” the in-story song from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, is famous for the cultural festival live performance.

It gets the crowd going from the very first note, and it’s an anime song that looks cool if you can sing it! The structure is easy to follow, so focus on expressiveness.

First, for the A verse, it’s best to sing quietly and calmly, with clear vowel articulation.

For the B verse, you’re heading toward the chorus, so sing without forcing your voice.

When the melody changes, lift your eyebrows to get ready.

Ride that momentum into the chorus, but be careful not to shout.

Aim to “project into the distance” rather than “yell.” In the last chorus, the key changes and the pitch goes up, so keep the same mindset—“send your voice even farther”! If you just watch the pitch bar honestly, you should be able to aim for a high score!

An in-story song performed in episode 12, “Live Alive,” of the TV anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

It’s a timeless masterpiece: perfect for belting out at karaoke or tackling as a band cover.

Tried Dancing to 'Hare Hare Yukai'? [Tomokazu Sugita / AGRS Channel]

A landmark animated work that defined the 2000s and etched its name into the history of Japanese anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Among its highlights is the ending theme, Hare Hare Yukai, whose choreography—performed by the characters and popularly known as the “Haruhi dance”—became a massive sensation, inspiring countless fans to cosplay and dance it themselves.

In 2020, during the stay-at-home period, Aya Hirano, who played Haruhi, posted a tutorial video on her social media, sparking a revival hit.

In this article, we introduce a “tried dancing” video by Tomokazu Sugita, who played Kyon in the series.

It’s hard not to laugh as you watch Sugita dance with a serious expression—even though his moves are nothing like the original choreography!
