They’re a band with a huge cult following, and I remember it felt like all of Japan was elated on the day their comeback was announced.

“Kaze no Hi” is uptempo and bright, but if you listen to it when you’re struggling, it can bring a tear to your eye.

Creephype - “Kiss in the Morning” (MUSIC VIDEO)

CreepHyp is a band that has gained popularity among many listeners with a sound rooted in indie rock.

Since the mid-2010s, they have consistently released hit songs, so many of you may already know them.

Their new song, “Morning Kiss,” reflects that identity.

In this track, the vocals are less prominent, making it a piece that showcases the overall performance.

As a result, the vocal range is kept narrow.

The vocal line is also very simple, so it should be easy to sing even without using vibrato.

WASURE RANNEE YO “Shittera” Lyric Video

The band Forgot-My-Name-You, led by Takahiro Shibata.

Since there are currently no other members besides Takahiro Shibata, it’s effectively operating as a solo project.

Their punk-centered sound remains popular today and continues to have strong support from men in their twenties.

This track, “Shittera,” is the band’s new song.

Its appeal lies in the rawness of the vocals and lyrics.

It’s the kind of song that captivates through expression rather than technique, and it doesn’t include any particularly difficult parts.

The more earnestly you sing it with emotion, the better it sounds, so please use it as a reference.
