A hundred flowers in full bloomIkuta Rira
As the opening theme for Season 2 of the anime The Apothecary Diaries, the song performed by Rira Ikuta vividly depicts a world where the splendor of the inner palace intertwines with intrigue.
With a powerful melody, the piece portrays the protagonist pressing forward through adversity, and its jacket photo, created by Mika Ninagawa, has also become a talking point.
Scheduled for release alongside the anime’s broadcast starting in January 2025, this ambitious work marks Ikuta’s first solo tie-in with an anime, even as she is also known as the vocalist of YOASOBI.
Its grand sound and vocals that closely follow the story make it a perfect track not only for anime fans but for anyone seeking music that resonates with the heart.
Workin’ HardFuji Kaze
Crafted by Fujii Kaze, this is a cheer song with his signature high-sense style.
It was produced as the broadcast theme song for the 2023 Basketball World Cup, drawing attention amid mixed reactions.
The lyrics convey a message that the outcome of the competition doesn’t matter—what’s truly admirable is the effort you put in—praising not only sports but anyone striving toward a goal.
It’s a perfect pick if you want to sing something a little different from the typical high-energy, rapid-fire cheer anthem.
umbrellaKing Gnu
King Gnu is a highly skilled band.
Their twin vocals create a satisfying harmony of low and high tones, which is a key part of King Gnu’s appeal—so this is a song I’d love to hear sung as a male duet if possible.
If you can nail those high notes, it’ll feel absolutely amazing.
Find the right breathing spots and sing it coolly!
YesterdayOfisharu Higedan Dism
A song by Official HIGE DANDism, who had a major breakthrough in 2019.
The orchestral accompaniment makes it a very dramatic piece.
Still, the vocals are ultimately the most pleasing aspect—if you can capture that breathy quality, you can really heighten the drama.
The exhilarating sense of speed in the chorus is irresistibly satisfying, too!
Love comes slowly, little by little.Sazan Ōrusutāzu
A 2019 release by Southern All Stars, veterans of the Japanese music scene and J-POP.
No matter how old he gets, Keisuke Kuwata’s voice remains deep, sweet, and comforting.
Their playful songs are fantastic, but this ballad is also absolutely superb.
And of course, the lyrics and melody make you want to sing it at karaoke.
A flawless track.
