WANIMA – Together (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

WANIMA’s hit song “Tomoni.” While many of its lyrics are negative, the chorus suddenly shifts to a highly positive message, and that strong contrast made the track popular with many listeners.

In this piece, the lowest note is mid1 F and the highest is hi C#, which is a relatively wide range for a male vocal song.

However, the hi C# only appears twice in the first verse’s A section; the song is basically structured with hi A# as the top note, so with key adjustment it can be quite singable.

Since it tends to have fewer natural breakpoints, lowering the key by one step from your optimal key may work better when actually singing.

Crimson Bow and Arrow

This is Linked Horizon’s signature song that took the era by storm as the first cour opening theme of the TV anime Attack on Titan.

From the very start, the resounding German phrases fused with weighty orchestration create a symphonic rock sound that instantly draws listeners into the story’s world.

Perfect for a work depicting a fierce battle for humanity’s survival, its dramatic melodic lines and powerful guitar sound really set your heart ablaze.

Released in July 2013 as a track on the single Jiyuu e no Shingeki (Advancing Toward Freedom), it reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and earned the group their first appearance at the 64th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that same year.

Belting out the chorus at karaoke is a great stress reliever, and it’s the perfect song to get everyone hyped with your friends.

[BUMP OF CHICKEN] Rilakkuma Tries Playing “Dandelion” [Guitar]

This is a memorable piece I performed at our club’s farewell concert back in college.

The song is upbeat, and when the music video plays, it really conveys the world of the song and makes it easier to get excited.

Personally, I love the movement of the bass in this track.

Don’t say “lazy”

This is the ending song from season 1 of the anime K-On!.

It’s such a popular show among people of the same generation who like anime that almost everyone has seen it, so this song is guaranteed to get everyone hyped.

It’s just a shame that there’s little chance the anime visuals will be shown.

Kenshi Yonezu – Lemon

A song released in March 2018 as Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth single.

Written specifically as the theme for the TBS drama “Unnatural,” it has set an astonishing record with over 900 million views on YouTube.

The lyrics, which express feelings for a loved one who has been lost, portray the pain of bereavement and the bittersweetness of living on while carrying memories of that person, resonating deeply with listeners.

Its bouncy shuffle beat and dynamic melody make it quite challenging to sing at karaoke, but that only heightens the sense of accomplishment when you pull it off.

It’s a masterpiece that’s perfect for creating a reflective mood or livening up the room with a well-known classic.
