Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who also has a persona as a Vocaloid producer and continues to expand the musical possibilities of the J-pop scene.

The track released in November 2022, used as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man, drew major attention for featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu on arrangement.

With its drum’n’bass-driven, intense beat and whirlwind progression, the sound feels like a roller coaster that sweeps listeners along, deeply linking with the work’s frenzied worldview.

The lyrics, infused with the protagonist’s somewhat nihilistic and self-destructive desire for happiness and good fortune, strike a powerful impulse into the listener’s heart.

It’s an aggressive, cool rock tune that blasts away the boredom of everyday life and lifts your mood to the max.

Keyakizaka46 'Silent Majority'

This song carries a powerful message about the importance of resisting peer pressure and living by your own will.

It’s Keyakizaka46’s memorable debut single, released in April 2016, and it also gained attention as the theme for the “Mechakari” commercial.

Included on their first album, “Masshiro na Mono wa Yogoshitaku Naru,” the track features low vocal lines in the A and B sections, making it comfortable to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.

The structure builds to a chorus that lets you unleash your emotions, making it incredibly satisfying to sing.

Since the melody doesn’t fluctuate dramatically in pitch, it’s perfect when you want to deliver a cool, composed performance.

Try picking it when you want to get hyped with friends or blow off some steam!

ZUTOMAYO “Can I Come See You With Cream?” MV (ZUTOMAYO – CREAM)

The band ZUTOMAYO, wildly popular among young people.

Because the vocalist ACA-ne has a high voice, many listeners might shy away from their songs.

That’s why I recommend this track, “Can I Come See You with Cream?” At first listen, you might think it’s a high-pitched piece, but surprisingly the vocal range isn’t that wide, and the melody doesn’t require sudden jumps in pitch, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.

Give it a try and add it to your repertoire.

Yumcha “Aisaretai” [Lyric Video]

The work “Aisaretai,” which gained popularity mainly among teenagers, is a piece by Yumcha that portrays the feelings of a girl who can’t let go of her love for her somewhat deadbeat boyfriend.

While the lyrics are negative, the melody is brimming with pop charm, resulting in an overall bright tone.

Although the song is on the higher side, the vocal range itself isn’t particularly wide.

With proper key adjustment, most women should be able to sing it without issue.
