Gesu no Kiwami Otome “Watashi Igai Watashi Janai no”

They’re a band that caused quite a stir with various issues, including vocalist Enon Kawatani’s affair, but their musicality is the real deal and they’re supported by many fans.

Their unique sound and melody lines are addictive.

The piano sound, which matches the songs, is also very appealing.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite (2016 ver.)”

Rewrite has become their signature song to the point that members have even posted on Twitter asking them to “play something other than ‘Rewrite.’” When the chorus hits and the shouting starts, the crowd gets so hyped that everyone ends up pretending to play air guitar.

They have plenty of other great songs, but when it comes to ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, this is the one, no doubt.

My Hair is Bad – Deep Crimson (Official Music Video)

When it comes to writing songs about unrequited love or romance, My Hair is second to none.

They’re incredibly good at speaking for the feelings of teens and people in their twenties.

Their view of love may feel a bit extreme, but since they’re a band popular among teenagers, their songs are great picks for unrequited love.

The clinginess might just get addictive.

Arigatou – Ikimono-gakari (Full)

This is Ikimono-gakari’s 18th single, released in May 2010.

It was reportedly written as the theme song for the first half of NHK’s 2010 morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo.

The piece has a slightly ballad-like feel and has been crafted into a very gentle and beautiful song.

Perhaps because it expresses a “tender feeling,” the vocal melody is also very straightforward and beautiful, making it quite easy to sing—especially for many women choosing it at karaoke.

If you try singing by placing the resonance toward the upper palate inside your mouth, you’ll likely get a brighter, sparkling tone with rich high overtones similar to the original singer’s.

Give it a try!
