Quruli – Amber-Colored Town, Morning of the Shanghai Crab

This is a distinctive work by the rock band Quruli, woven from the bustle of the city and a sense of nostalgia.

Featuring inventive orchestration and Shigeru Kishida’s memorable rap, the piece captures listeners with catchy melodies and poetic lyrics as it explores themes of farewell to the city, loneliness in modern society, and bonds with family.

CreepHyp - “Bookmark” (MUSIC VIDEO)

A song depicting the feelings of spring, included on the album “Nakitakunaru hodo Ureshii Hibi ni,” released in September 2018.

It was written specifically for the campaign “FM802 × TSUTAYA ACCESS!” jointly organized by FM802 and TSUTAYA, and is notable for CreepHyp’s distinctive rock sound.

With great care, it portrays the delicate emotions of someone trying to move forward while holding past memories close to their heart, unfolding a story of parting and rebirth alongside scenes of cherry blossoms.

Blending an emotional melody with Seikaikan Ozaki’s uniquely expressive vocals, this work is sure to resonate deeply with anyone experiencing a springtime farewell.

It’s a song to help organize your heart—one we hope everyone standing at the threshold between an ending and a beginning will listen to.

Midsummer Fruit

Southern All Stars’ “Manatsu no Kajitsu” (Midsummer Fruit) is a song released in 1990 as the theme for the film Inamura Jane.

Its gentle acoustic sound is striking, and the lyrics portray poignant summer scenes.

Among Southern All Stars’ many hits, it could be considered a signature ballad.

As for commercial use, it was featured in a Recruit TV ad for Weekly B-ing starring Keisuke Kuwata; the contrast between the sorrowful song playing and Kuwata’s rapid speech in the commercial left a memorable impression.

SenbonzakuraWagakki Band97rank/position

Wagakki Band / Senbonzakura

The Vocaloid song “Senbonzakura” is very famous, and this time I’ll explain it using the easier-to-understand Wagakki Band version.

Since the lyrics contain lots of difficult kanji and words, I recommend memorizing it by ear so you can handle it at karaoke! When singing, the key point is to articulate clearly so the words don’t get blurred.

In particular, crisp vowel pronunciation will make it easier to listen to and sing.

The A-melody has a lot of words, so rather than “singing every single word firmly,” it’s probably best to sing with a light, bouncy feel.

The chorus builds toward the end and includes some long notes, so singing in a comfortable voice for you will feel great.

It’s a famous song, so many people have covered it.

Be sure to listen to various versions of “Senbonzakura” and find the one you like best!

Don’t say “lazy”

The ending theme of the anime K-On!.

It’s performed by the in-anime band Ho-kago Tea Time.

While Yui Hirasawa often serves as the lead vocalist, on this track Mio Akiyama, the bassist, takes the lead vocals.

Both the vocals and the song are just incredibly cool.

K-On! inspired many people to start bands, and a wave of fans even began performing songs from the show.
