tuki. “Strangers” Official Audio (Insert song from the TBS Sunday Theater drama series “Caster”)

This song delicately depicts the invisible bonds that arise between people and the unstable movements of the heart.

Singer-songwriter tuki.

wrote both the lyrics and music, brilliantly expressing human relationships where disconnection and empathy coexist.

The track was featured as an insert song in the TBS Sunday Theater drama “Caster,” released in June 2025.

As one of three songs provided for the same drama, this piece plays a vital role in subtly enhancing the story’s serious atmosphere from within.

It’s a work you’ll want to listen to when you’re feeling loneliness or conflict.

While carrying complex emotions, it gently stays close to those who are trying to move forward.

It’s especially recommended for quiet nights alone, when you want to take your time facing your true feelings.

Seimei (Voice-Life)tuki.12rank/position

tuki. 'Voice of Life' Official Audio (Insert song from TBS Sunday Theater drama 'Caster')

Released on May 26, 2025, tuki.’s “Seimei” is a very short song—under three minutes—structured as Verse A → Verse B → Chorus → Bridge → Last Chorus.

The melody is easy to remember and doesn’t require belting, so it’s comfortable to sing gently in head voice.

The tempo is very relaxed, so breathing shouldn’t be an issue either.

To summarize the key points: the A section sits a bit low, so avoid squeezing your throat—raise your eyebrows firmly, and imagine releasing the sound slowly right in front of you as you sing.

In fact, rather than only practicing high notes, low notes are surprisingly important! Once your low range is stable, it will directly support your high notes, greatly improving your overall vocal balance.

Also, unfamiliar pitches use more air than you think, so make sure to take in plenty of breath through your mouth!
