RainSIRUP
SIRUP’s tracks blend a sophisticated R&B sound with a laid-back groove.
This song is included on his EP “SIRUP EP2,” released in August 2018.
It paints a romantic world where a rainy day—often felt as gloomy—turns into a special dance floor for just two, and its stylish lyrics leave a strong impression.
The positive message of enjoying even negative situations showcases SIRUP’s unique sensibility.
With his silky-smooth vocals intertwining with sleek, urban melodies, this number will elevate your time at home—and is perfect not only for a rainy-day drive but also for making any indoor moment feel a touch more refined.
REMMr.Children
Among Mr.Children’s songs, one I especially recommend for its wide vocal range is REM.
The song spans a remarkably broad range from mid1 F# to hi B, with the highest note, hi B, appearing repeatedly in the A, C, and D sections.
The pitch moves up and down dramatically, and notes like hi B and hi A show up right after mid2 F# or mid2 G as if it’s nothing, so you’ll need excellent pitch control.
There are also many shout-like parts, which demand strong vocal cords.
If you’re confident in your singing ability, definitely give it a try.
regolithBCNO
Even amid the anxious fear of losing, they refuse to let go of that one true light.
It’s a rock number whose desperate cry grabs you by the chest.
Created by Vocaloid producer BCNO and released in September 2025.
Written for singer Yuki Yumeno, it’s included on the mini-album “All You Need Is Ordinaries.” With razor-sharp guitars and a tight, driving rhythm, the sound is seriously addictive! As you listen, you’re pulled deeper into its prickling tension and story until you can’t escape.
It’s a stunning piece where the protagonist’s emotions—facing pain and emptiness while reaching for hope—merge with the song’s dramatic development.
When you feel crushed by unbearable anxiety, this track will surely help you through.
rayFujiwara Motoo
Motoharu Fujiwara, the vocalist of the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN—known for their highly narrative world-building that resonates with many listeners—was born in Akita City, Akita Prefecture.
He writes and composes nearly all of the band’s songs, and their distinctive musicality has won widespread support.
After starting out independently in 1999, the band went on to rack up hits, and in 2013 they dominated the charts with two best-of albums.
They have won numerous awards, including at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC AWARDS, and their richly narrative songs have resonated with many visual works, such as anime theme songs.
Their creative style of waiting for the moment a song is born may be what leads to universally affecting songs that speak straight to the heart.
Fujiwara’s voice—ranging from urgent high tones to gentle whispers—could be called the beating heart of the band.
Let’s take it somedayONE OK ROCK
The piece “Let’s take it someday,” included on the 2011 album Zankyō Reference.
While ONE OK ROCK often leans heavily into emo and hardcore elements, this track stands out for its catchy, quintessential J-rock melody.
Despite its fairly wide vocal range from mid1 D# to hi D#, the pitch movement is surprisingly gentle.
If you carefully adjust the key and decide whether to glide through the high phrases in falsetto or tackle them with mixed voice, it’s not an especially difficult song to sing.
lemonadesarii
How about an instrumental that adds a fresh yet slightly wistful touch to vlogs and everyday record videos? Crafted by Japanese sound creator Sarii, this piece feels like capturing in sound the sparkling sensation of sipping a sweet-and-tangy soda.
As the artist describes it as “sour but sweet,” the melodies played by high-pitched bells and piano are sure to lift your spirits just by listening.
Released in April 2025, this track, like Sarii’s other works Butterfly Pea and start, shines with an arrangement that gently supports visuals.
It doesn’t overstate itself, yet leaves a distinct impression, making it perfect for stylishly elevating scenes like a relaxed weekend morning or casual conversations with friends.
Regulus RebellionRen
This is a Vocaloid tune that pulls you into a simmering tension.
It’s a track by Ren, the Vocaloid producer who also created “Mind Castle,” released in August 2025.
Within its dark, frigid soundscape, the clear, pristine voice of CeVIO AI Seikai rings out like a ray of light.
The dramatic progression of the sound—racing from stillness to searing passion—just draws you in.
The lyrics convey a noble yet fierce resolve, as if vowing rebellion against an oppressive world.
Highly recommended when you want to break through a sense of stagnation.
