Return to Myself ~No, no, summer.Cyntia
Cyntia’s “Return to Myself ~Shinai, Shinai, Natsu” is a cover of the metal queen Mari Hamada and a top pick for a breezy summer.
While the original has a pop arrangement, this cover transforms it with a solid, hard-rock sound into a powerful rendition only they could deliver! The breakneck heavy metal runs you hear in Cyntia’s signature track “Senkou Strings” are dialed back here, but the band’s rock-solid musicianship—honed through those notoriously difficult fast phrases—subtly shines through in this cover.
That’s the real highlight!

refrainDa-iCE
This is a heart-wrenching piece that sings of the regret of running away from a loved one.
“Refrain,” included as the coupling track on the 2018 single “Blue Sky Beyond the Clouds,” is an R&B number whose sorrowful vocals are deeply moving, making it impossible not to ponder the relationship between the protagonists.
The melody has very little variation in pitch, so it should be easy to sing.
Precisely because of that, be mindful of how much emotion you put in to convey the song’s world.
Ring D AlarmDef Tech
This song is packed with a soothing melody and a positive message.
Its reggae sound infused with African beats is striking, and just listening to it gives you energy.
The lyrics’ worldview of “praising yourself and acknowledging others” truly resonates as an anthem of encouragement.
The two members of Def Tech released this track in May 2024, and it may reflect a new resolve after their reunion.
It’s sure to be a song that gives you a push when you’re feeling down or taking on something new.
Sing it at karaoke, and it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped!
Reflect WinterDevil ANTHEM.
Devil ANTHEM., aka “Debian,” have a winter song called “Reflect Winter” that’s perfect for high schoolers to sing at karaoke.
The little pre-A-melody intro and the choreography where you tap your wrists together to the beat are super cute—you’ll definitely want to copy it! The lyrics are told by a slightly unreliable first-person “boku,” who asks the girl he likes to stay with him forever… in words that are just as timid.
The vibe will make your heart flutter! It’s a bit embarrassing to sing solo, so it’s especially recommended for girl groups!
