Songs whose titles start with “Ri” (61–70)
ribbonOkazaki Taiiku feat. Ikeda Ayako
Ribbon, sung by Taiiku Okazaki and Ayako Ikeda, is a song released in 2025 and announced as the CM song for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation’s Trunk.
Centered on piano and wind instruments, its acoustic sound conveys an overall calm atmosphere.
The arrangement, with Ayako Ikeda’s gentle harmonies layered over Taiiku Okazaki’s lead vocals, evokes an image of people kindly supporting one another.
The commercial depicts people striving as they launch startups or take over companies, conveying how Trunk supports them.
The smiles of those working hard, combined with the warm music, create a positive mood.
gentianWANIMA
A song written as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “The Forensic Doctor Asagao.” In karaoke, it’s a challenging ballad that demands both high notes and expressive delivery! You can really feel WANIMA’s style, with soaring high notes woven into the flowing melody line.
The overall vocal range is B2–D5, and the chorus jumps into the high register all at once, so I’m worried people might strain their throats.
Also, there’s a prominent upper harmony from the chorus, so be careful not to get thrown off by it! It might help to sing with accents that resonate forward in the mask as a basic approach.
Plus, if you carry the same breathing feel from the verse into the chorus, you’ll likely run out of breath and your voice will choke.
Time your breaths and make sure to exhale fully as you sing!
Trendy Angelinajon-YAKITORY
Released in November 2025, this track is a work by jon-YAKITORY featuring Hatsune Miku V4X.
Following in the lineage of past songs like “Chaos Boogie” and “Yamada PERFECT,” it’s a dance number characterized by a strong swing feel and grooves rooted in Black music.
The lyrics reject so-called “correct answers” such as studying and perfectionism, portraying the mindset of young people who want to enjoy life according to their own values.
When you feel like unleashing your dreams and impulses, listen to it while jumping your heart out!

Arm yourself with theoryHatsuboshi Gakuen
The character song for Tsubame Amaya, the vice president of the student council at Hatsuboshi Academy from Academy Idolmaster, is a track that portrays her resolve to confront the weakness and fear she has long suppressed, even as she tries to seal away her emotions and armor herself with reason—and to turn all of it into her ally.
Kenta Matsukuma’s edgy guitar-rock sound powerfully expresses both her unshakable will and the inner conflict of a perfectionist hailed as the academy’s No.

Lip NoiseTOMOO
Featured on the second major album DEAR MYSTERIES, this piece is a song that depicts a yearning for untouchable beauty.
As the title—symbolizing a sound that cannot become sound, a transparent boundary of emotion—suggests, it delicately traces the ache of a closeness you long for but cannot reach.
The restrained, piano-centered arrangement gradually grows heated toward the end, letting you feel the moment when pent-up emotions break free.
It’s a profound track that makes you want to revisit its lyrical world again and again.
