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.

OrangeSPYAIR52rank/position

A bittersweet anthem of youth by SPYAIR, released in February 2024 as the theme song for the film Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle, which poignantly portrays sweet-and-sour coming-of-age moments.
With fresh, vibrant vocals and an energetic band sound, the song captures the hearts of young people where hope and anxiety intertwine, conveying a strong resolve to keep moving forward even as they reluctantly part from friends.
Its refreshing yet heartrending melody and empowering message that points toward the future make it perfect for spring—the season of new beginnings like moving up a grade or graduation.
It’s a song that gently gives a push to everyone setting out on a new path with memories of cherished friends close to their hearts.

Carried by an energetic melody, it looks back on past events and emotions while delivering a message about deepening bonds with the people who matter most.
It’s perfect for those in their twenties who feel nostalgic about their youth.
Singing it at karaoke can be a wonderful chance to connect with friends or a loved one.

Kiss in the morningkuriipuhaipe54rank/position

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.
I knowwasureranneeyo55rank/position

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.
Ultramarine DaysToukyou Jihen56rank/position

This is the title track of Tokyo Jihen’s debut single, led by Ringo Sheena.
While many women may feel that Ringo Sheena’s songs often feature complex melodies, this one delivers a straightforward rock sound with a very easy-to-follow melody! It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped if you sing it at karaoke!
