RemBUMP OF CHICKEN
Rem,” included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s fourth album Yggdrasil released in 2004, is a song performed solo by vocalist Motoo Fujiwara.
The melody is very gentle and laid-back, but the lyrics pierce the heart, and the contrast between the two is striking.
The more you listen, the more it subtly grows on you.
rayBUMP OF CHICKEN feat. HATSUNE MIKU
Released in 2014, “ray” exquisitely matches the beautifully delicate vocals of Hatsune Miku with the sound crafted by BUMP OF CHICKEN to create a unified world.
Its catchy, pop-leaning melody and lyrics that remind us of the importance of facing forward, even when everyday life is tough, are major draws of the song.
Another distinctive feature is how the vocal parts alternate between BUMP OF CHICKEN’s vocalist, Fujiwara, and Hatsune Miku’s main melody.
The way one takes the lead while the other harmonizes unveiled new possibilities for the fusion of Vocaloid and band music.
LETTERSBiSH
The title track “LETTERS,” the sixth album overall, was released as a so‑called major 3.5th.
Its lyrics evoke a world transformed by COVID-19, and many living in the present day will likely feel a resonant message.
Overall, the key is low and the vocal range isn’t wide, but be careful not to let your guard down—there’s a sudden large leap in pitch partway through the chorus.
It’s a song whose restrained yet powerful dynamics leave a strong impression, so if possible, try to be mindful of that as you sing.
Red MindBlack Boboi
A track by Black Boboi characterized by a sense of speed in its rhythm and stimulating timbres.
The lyrics evoke themes of conflict with the past and the self, as well as hope for renewal.
It’s a thought-provoking work that resonates deeply with listeners’ inner worlds.
Released in June 2019 as the single “Red Mind / 4hours,” this song condenses Black Boboi’s uniquely crafted musical worldview.
Recommended for times when you want a change of pace or are looking for new discoveries.
RED HILLCHAGE and ASKA
When it comes to artists who enjoyed immense popularity during the peak era of CD sales in Japanese music in the 80s and 90s, CHAGE and ASKA come to mind! “RED HILL” is included on the album of the same title, “RED HILL.” In the lyrics, there’s a whispered “What should I do?”, expressing the inner conflict of choosing between options, with the fear that the choice might lead to hell.
Many people find CHAGE and ASKA’s songs hard to sing because of the high notes, but this one is mid-tempo, so I think it’s singable!
Let it snow ~I want to see you~COLOR CREATION
The vocal group COLOR CREATION released the winter song “Let it snow ~Aitakute~” in 2019.
It’s a classic breakup ballad that also fits perfectly with Christmas, yet its warm sound and the members’ vocals gently wrap around you with a comforting softness.
Don’t you ever find that when you gaze at a snowy landscape, memories seem to float up lightly? While looking back on those wonderful memories of the past, you might also find yourself wondering how that person is doing.
Winter is a season when we long for others.
Maybe it’s nice to let those lingering feelings ride on this song and the falling snow.
LeviathanCROSSFAITH
CROSSFAITH is a metalcore band that enjoys enormous popularity not only in Japan but overseas as well.
Their signature style fuses hard-hitting tracks with plenty of electronic elements, and bold shouts give their songs an even more aggressive edge.
At the same time, some tracks weave in mystical, beautiful passages between the intensity, and many listeners are inevitably moved by that contrast between ferocity and beauty.
While they might not strictly fit the “screamo” label in terms of emotional clean parts, we’ve chosen to feature them here in a broader sense—because of the way their music shines with beauty within the heaviness.
