Rinju Lovemakaroni enpitsu
The song “Rinjū Love,” used as the theme for the TV drama “If I’d Said One Million Times.” It’s included on the 1st EP “wheel of life,” and its realistic depiction of emotions surrounding a breakup is quite sentimental.
The vocal range is narrow and the key isn’t high, so it’s easy to sing, but be mindful of pitch, as there’s a key change toward the end and some high notes using falsetto.
It’s an emotional rock tune with an ensemble that gradually builds toward the latter half, making it feel great to sing even at karaoke.
Remember MeMigeru (Ishibashi Hiiro)
A song depicting the bonds of family that was chosen as the theme for a film released in 2017.
Hiroshi Ishibashi, who provided the Japanese dub for the protagonist, also drew attention for his vocal prowess.
The piece is popular as a choral song as well, so many children may have sung it at school.
Conveying that our hearts are one even when we’re apart, this work features a melody that’s easy for elementary school students to sing.
If you sing it at karaoke, you’re sure to enjoy a heartwarming time.
Sing it with feelings for the people you care about.
red dead stockYugika
You won’t be able to tear your ears away from its spiky, abrasive sound! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Yugika, also known for “Eureka Replica” and “Caprice Cast,” released in July 2023.
The downer, moody worldview is incredibly cool and totally addictive.
The arrangement, laden with distortion and noise, makes you want to blast it at full volume.
The heaviness of the low end and that thumping, pressing feel are top-notch, too.
With lyrics that pursue “proof of existence,” it’s a thought-provoking, stoic work.
left-right confusionYorushika
A fragile yet beautiful ballad that portrays the bond with a loved one.
Created as the theme song for the film Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight, released in July 2022, it features narrative lyrics inspired by Oscar Wilde’s classic The Happy Prince.
The protagonist’s emotions, as they desperately try to retrieve lost memories, are delicately rendered, evoking a poignant sense of transience and impermanence in the face of forgetting words.
Its gentle, crystalline melody is perfect for reflecting on memories with someone dear.
A song I’d recommend to anyone who cherishes the intangible bond we call memory.

Riceball is a three-member vocal unit based in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, performing as a “rice idol” group with onigiri as their concept.
Their fifth single, Relay—released as a triple A-side alongside “Boku wa Dotemachi no Tokeidai” and “Rainbow”—was written as the image song commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Shirakami-Sanchi’s inscription as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.
Its lyrics, which portray the grandeur and sanctity of the great outdoors, resonate deeply together with the group’s crystal-clear choral work.
It’s a mystical track whose majestic ensemble, featuring a richly layered piano sound, is nothing short of breathtaking.
