[Alexandros] – Wataridori (MV)

A four-piece rock band, [Alexandros], captivates fans with their expansive high-tone vocals and a rock sound that reflects a wide-ranging musical background.

This is their 10th single overall.

Although it was their major-label debut single, it became known as one of [Alexandros]’s signature songs, boasting numerous tie-ins, including serving as the theme song for the film “Akegarasu.” From the catchy guitar riff in the intro to the exhilarating chorus, it truly evokes the image of a bird’s wings beating, just like the title suggests.

With its driving arrangement and sense of speed, it’s a rock tune that perfectly matches the atmosphere of a road trip—one everyone will want to sing along to in the car.

Fujifabric – Youth of Everything

This is a memorable masterpiece distinguished by a gentle melody line that tenderly embraces the poignant scenery of late summer and the fleeting nature of youth.

Set against fireworks and twilight, it portrays the desire to cherish this moment intertwined with anxieties about a changing future.

Beautifully balancing Fujifabric’s refined musicality with the delicate world of its lyrics, the song was released in November 2007 as their 10th single and served as the lead single for the album TEENAGER.

It was featured as the opening theme for NTV’s Oto Moe! and later as an insert song in Fuji TV’s 2013 drama SUMMER NUDE, capturing the hearts of many.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on nights when you wish to bask in precious memories, or when you need a gentle push before taking a new step forward.

KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

It’s the opening theme from the anime “Naruto Shippuden,” hugely popular among teenage boys! It’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! When you sing it, focus on the key points: keep a solid sense of tempo, feel the occasional bouncy rhythms, and pay attention to the falsetto in the chorus.

With fast-tempo band songs, it’s easy to get excited and speed up as you sing.

Try not to sway your body too much—stay centered so you can maintain a steady rhythm.

For the bouncy rhythm, lightly use your knees to move up and down and you’ll nail the timing.

Make sure your falsetto resonates in your head voice! Overall, I recommend singing lightly with a bright, heady resonance.
