Sora Tomonari – “Bergamot” [Music Video]

Sora Tomonari captivates listeners with lyrics that exude a singular sensibility and melodies you can’t get out of your head.

While he’s known for blending traditional Japanese nuance with a contemporary beat, his songs that carry an urban melancholy are equally exceptional.

That’s the case with Bergamot.

Released in February 2025, this track pairs lyrics that evoke the bustling glow of neon city nights with the sudden fragrance that awakens memories of past love—seeping deeply into the listener’s heart.

Stylish in sound yet tinged with a certain wistfulness, it’s a song that truly strikes a chord.

Its easy-to-groove tempo and abundant wordplay reveal more flavor with every listen.

Add it to your playlist for a nighttime drive or as background music for quiet moments alone.

TOMONARI SORA – “Roar – HOKO” [Music Video] (Anime “Kingdom” Season 6 Ending Theme)

A bold new frontier for Sora Tomonari, whose powerful sound overwhelms you with the heat and tension of the battlefield.

Showcasing an aggressive side never before revealed, this track is a rock number that paints a fierce clash of convictions over a driving, fast-paced beat.

Our top recommendation is this song, released in October 2025.

It was written as the ending theme for the sixth season of the TV anime “Kingdom.” The production’s unwavering commitment is evident in the story that, with the cooperation of the American football team, they actually recorded the scrape of protective gear and raw, rugged shouts.

It’s a pivotal piece that leads into the November 2025 album “Bunmei Kaika – East West.” Give it a listen when you want to break out of your shell or stoke the fire of your inner fighting spirit.

Roar – HOKO

HOKO, the ending theme for Season 6 of the anime Kingdom, is an emotional track known for its soul-shaking intensity and weighty atmosphere.

It’s recommended for men who want to train their overall expressiveness, vocal power, and sense of rhythm.

The overall vocal range is A2–D#5, which looks very wide at first glance, but most of the song sits in the low register.

Songs that focus on low notes like this can lose contrast when you sing them, giving a somewhat sluggish impression.

In such cases, intensity is of course important, but choosing where in the melody to place accents also creates a sense of contrast, making the song easier to sing and more pleasant to listen to overall.

Try exaggerating the accent on the first beat—you’ll find your voice projects more than you expect, so keep that in mind.

Sora Tomonari (TOMONARI SORA) – “Yoimatsuri – Evening Festival” [Story Video]

Sora Tomonari is a male singer-songwriter who has earned enormous popularity for his music’s strong emphasis on world-building.

He has many classic songs, but this time I’d like to introduce a new track: Yoimatsuri (Twilight Festival).

Although falsetto appears frequently in this piece, the gap between the chest voice and falsetto is quite large, so the difficult low falsetto doesn’t show up much.

It’s not completely absent, but the phrases can be substituted with mixed voice, making the song overall easier to sing.

With its Japanese flair and a melody that weaves between minor and major modes, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!

Tomonari Sora – “Yoimatsuri – Evening Festival” [Lyric Video]

There’s a song I want you to listen to on a muggy summer night, when you suddenly find yourself yearning for the sights of your hometown.

It’s by the singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari, known for a uniquely captivating command of words: the single “Yoimatsuri,” released in July 2025.

The sound blends Japanese melodies that evoke festival music and fireworks with a contemporary beat, creating a comfortably immersive atmosphere.

It stirred major buzz from the moment a demo was posted on social media, and it was later included, right on cue, on the album “Civilization Blooming – East West.” Its lyrical world—where a faint sense of an otherworld teeming with yokai seems to breathe, interwoven with a bittersweet longing for home—is perfect for sinking into alone on a quiet night.

It’s a song that sinks into the heart, one I hope everyone who wants to feel the singular mood of a Japanese summer will hear.

Tomonari Sora – “Ticket Gate” [Official Video]

There’s a bittersweet feeling, as if the everyday, ordinary scenery starts to reveal itself at the moment of parting from someone precious.

Set at the station ticket gates, this song delicately traces the emotions of two people drifting apart.

The horn tones that evoke dusk squeeze tightly at your heart.

I hear the first verse was written in high school, and the second at twenty, and the gradation of deepening emotions over time really sinks in.

It’s the first release from Sora Tomonari’s cutting edge label, distributed in December 2023.

It was also performed at the solo concert “Ame nochi Sora” in January 2024, and it’s a track cherished by fans.

I recommend listening to it alone on a train, watching the scenery stream by outside the window.

Singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari has continued to captivate a wide audience through viral hits born on social media.

With a unique sound that fuses traditional Japanese sensibilities and contemporary pop, they’ve earned support across diverse listeners.

Among Tomonari’s songs, the one we recommend today appears near the end of the first album, “Bunmei Kaika – East West,” released in November 2025.

Characterized by a Latin-tinged rhythm reminiscent of samba, its exhilarating beat sets hearts dancing.

The lyrics, which sharply depict nocturnal impulses and heat, evoke the bittersweetness that can lie behind a dazzling festival.

It’s a track where a celebratory atmosphere coexists with a cool, detached gaze—perfect for a nighttime drive.
