Re:birthAcid Black Cherry

This is a passionate rock number that portrays rebirth from deep despair.

Released in August 2010 as the ninth single after yasu underwent vocal cord surgery and recuperation, it was chosen as the theme song for the PlayStation 3 game “Another Century’s Episode: R.” The lyrics, said to reflect his unvarnished feelings during recovery, are the very cry of a heart clawing for light while struggling in darkness.

Midori Nishizaki is the head of a Japanese dance school, and at the same time an actor and an enka singer who remains at the forefront of her fields.

In fact, she made her debut as a singer at the young age of seven and is a true veteran with over 60 years in the performing arts.

Many may be surprised by the breadth of her talents, which extend far beyond the world of enka.

She gained attention with the duet Nen-nen Funauta with Yoshio Tabata, and in 1974, Tabishū, which became the theme song for the popular period drama Kurayami Shiwatori, sold over a million copies.

The expressive power she cultivated through Japanese dance lends depth to the poignant timbre of her singing voice.

The track is included on the album “FUNFAIR,” released in November 2007, and was also chosen as the image song for the 86th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.

For those striving toward their goals with their teammates, this anthem of friendship will deliver a passionate boost.

reincarnationYuuri

Yuri’s high-energy “Rinne Tensei” has an awesome band-driven vibe that makes your body move on its own! Since the intro sits in the low-to-mid range, it should be relatively easy for low-voiced male singers to handle.

However, the tempo is on the faster side, so if you try singing before memorizing the lyrics, you might fall behind—better to listen closely and get it in your ears first.

The range rises in the latter half, but if you keep your body grooving and project with momentum, your voice will follow.

Don’t be afraid—have fun with it!

Absurd RefrainAvocado Egg

Their performance of “Irrational Refrain” is nothing short of exhilarating, with a poppy, razor-sharp sound.

It feels as if their playing perfectly speaks for that everyday “Why does it have to be like this?!” frustration.

Just listening to the bright, bouncy melodies and down-to-earth lyrics will blow away the gloom and lift your spirits.

They’ll give you the energy to power through tomorrow.
