Kiss Kiss KissAKASAKI

【AKASAKI】Kiss Kiss Kiss (Lyric Video)

Just a loved one’s hair fluttering in the wind makes the whole world seem to shine! This song, created by singer-songwriter AKASAKI, is set for release in August 2025.

It’s featured as the web commercial song for Hoyu’s Self-Color Project.

The piece is told from two perspectives: a girl who boldly changes her look with self-coloring, and the man who is captivated by her transformation.

The lyrics overflow with the thrill of romance and a sweet, bittersweet feeling that’s irresistible.

It’s a rhythmic, positive track that boosts your romantic mood.

Mr. Moonlightimase

[imase] Mr. Moonlight (Music Video)

This is the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” released on July 11, 2025.

It has a bit of a brisk tempo, so be sure to remember to take breaths between phrases.

Taking breaths will also help you lock into the rhythm of the song! In the chorus, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto, so aim to sing without straining.

When you lift your facial muscles, your eyebrows will probably lift on their own—how about you? That expression is actually important: with a blank face, you’ll never hit the right pitch, and it becomes harder to produce high notes or falsetto.

Raising your facial muscles also makes switching between chest and falsetto much easier, so try singing with the image of lifting your facial muscles and resonating from the top of your head!

amazarashi 'On That Night We Couldn't Become the Future' Music Video

A track that starts with an amazarashi-style, all-consuming wall of noise that sounds cool from the very first second.

After the long intro, the vocals come in and you’re instantly pulled deep into the world of the song.

That one-of-a-kind voice is incredibly pleasing to listen to.

And I think anyone who can capture this world in karaoke truly has a singer’s heart—so I hope you’ll all give it a try!
