WANIMA 'Before the Departure' OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This is a support song from WANIMA dedicated to everyone taking a new step forward.

It warmly conveys the greatness of getting back up again and again, and the importance of turning past failures and regrets into strength for the future.

WANIMA’s hallmark upbeat sound overflows with a refreshing energy that makes your body sway before you know it.

Released digitally in April 2021, the song was also chosen as the theme for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks’ “Fight! Kyushu” project.

It’s a track that gently gives a push to those starting a new chapter or facing challenges right now.

WANIMA "Rindou" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A song written as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “The Forensic Doctor Asagao.” In karaoke, it’s a challenging ballad that demands both high notes and expressive delivery! You can really feel WANIMA’s style, with soaring high notes woven into the flowing melody line.

The overall vocal range is B2–D5, and the chorus jumps into the high register all at once, so I’m worried people might strain their throats.

Also, there’s a prominent upper harmony from the chorus, so be careful not to get thrown off by it! It might help to sing with accents that resonate forward in the mask as a basic approach.

Plus, if you carry the same breathing feel from the verse into the chorus, you’ll likely run out of breath and your voice will choke.

Time your breaths and make sure to exhale fully as you sing!

WANIMA「GONG」OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

WANIMA’s “GONG” is the theme song for the film One Piece: Stampede and is included on the single Summer Trap!!.

You can feel the excitement of an adventure beginning and the strong determination to push toward the future through its powerful sound.

Because they’re a three-piece band, each instrument’s tone can be clearly heard, so it’s important not only to rely on sheer momentum but also to be mindful of playing with precision.

While the performance has plenty of power, the rhythms and chords are fundamentally straightforward, so let’s proceed with an awareness of how to add drive and momentum within that framework.

WANIMA “Flying Fish” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This song was released on August 13, 2025.

Since it’s mostly composed in the low-mid to high-mid range, I think it’s relatively easy to sing in terms of vocal range.

There’s a C5 in the first and last chorus, and it feels great if you ride the melody and push it out with momentum there.

It has WANIMA’s signature rock vibe with a distinctive rhythm, so let’s lock in a few key points.

The song actually starts from the chorus, and it kicks off on the offbeat.

It’s fine to place the accent on the first beat, so make sure to line up firmly there.

The A section has rap elements, so rhythm matters more than pitch.

Try using your hands like you’re shaking maracas and keep time at double speed.

It’s a short track at about three minutes, but it sounds really cool if you can nail it—definitely give it a try at karaoke!

WANIMA “Matatabi” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO – Ending theme of the anime “Night of the Living Cat”

WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.

In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.

WANIMA “Existence” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO / Flower Cupid Mother’s Day CM song

A gemlike ballad created with gratitude for the singer’s grandmother.

Its gentle, warm vocals and emotional sound blend beautifully into a heartwarming piece.

It paints the formative seascape of the songwriter’s childhood in a coastal town, with melodies that echo the feelings for a beloved person and strike a chord.

Written specifically as the theme for the Flower Cupid Mother’s Day campaign commercial set to air in March 2025, and also used in the CM featuring actor Shohei Miura, this song reveals a different side of WANIMA from the high-velocity rock they bring to the stage.

It’s the perfect track for those living away from their hometown, for moments when you want to express thanks to family far away, or when you wish to reaffirm bonds with someone dear.

Waiting for springWANIMA14rank/position

When it comes to WANIMA’s spring songs, this one is a must! It was released in the spring of 2020, when concerts were being canceled one after another due to COVID-19.

Along with that backdrop, the encouraging lyrics—telling us that “we can overcome difficulties!!”—supported the hearts of many fans who were feeling anxious.

Among WANIMA’s songs, this one is relatively low in key, so even those who struggle with high notes will find it easier to try.

It has a sense of speed, so be sure to get into the rhythm and sing it out.
