LET’S JUST CRASHMori Calliope
Mori Calliope, a VTuber from hololive English.
Selected as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime “Gachiakuta,” which began airing in October 2025, this track is a hybrid number that fuses rock and rap.
Its aggressive guitar riffs and tight beats, paired with provocative rap delivered in a mix of English and Japanese, are stunning.
You can clearly feel the strong will to push forward without fearing conflict that’s embedded in the lyrics.
It’s a piece that gives you strength when you want to break through the status quo.
Lemon piemakaroni enpitsu
With a tempo of 102, Macaroni Enpitsu’s “Lemon Pie” is characterized by being easy to catch the rhythm—not too fast and not too slow.
The overall vocal range of the song is D3 to A#3, which is relatively narrow for a male song.
The verses (A-melo to B-melo) are sung in a conversational style, so you don’t need to worry too much about precise pitch.
The beginning of the second verse is rap-like, and as long as your words lock into the rhythm there, it shouldn’t be a problem either.
If you keep humming the chorus over and over, you’ll likely find it very singable.
For the chorus, try practicing with humming.
The key is to hum lightly without engaging your throat too much.
