RosannaOzaki Yutaka
It features semi-autobiographical lyrics that reflect Mr.
Ozaki’s state of mind after turning 21, getting married, and becoming a father.
Included on his 5th album, Birth, released in 1990, the song sold 250,000 copies and topped the Oricon chart, marking an important work that signaled a new direction for him.
Its vibe is similar to Ozaki’s hits like “15 no Yoru” and “OH MY LITTLE GIRL,” so many listeners may find it familiar.
Although Ozaki is known for his raspy voice, trying to imitate it too much will only hurt your throat; you’ll likely get a more comfortable sound by projecting your voice powerfully as if singing toward the distance.

You can sense their determination to update rock ’n’ roll with a modern pop sensibility in every line of the lyrics.

This song by the rock band the shes gone is captivating for its sweet, gentle vocals and word choices that blend seamlessly into everyday life.
Released in November 2024, it was later included on the mini-album “AGAIN,” released in March 2025.
Imagined as an end-credits sequence for a film, this track is the band’s sweetest and most stylish to date.
Its brisk rhythm and pop approach that weaves in English lyrics will put a spring in the listener’s step.
The lyrics trace the fluttering excitement of love swaying through daily life, overflowing with a feel-good euphoria that makes you want to skip along.

Hip-hop MC AK-69, whose lyrics reflect his own experiences and beliefs and whose powerful rap style has earned overwhelming support.
Following a best-of album celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut, this track—released on February 19, 2026—was born from a TV Asahi “Galiventure V” project and serves as the company song for Yaba Misen, a Taiwanese restaurant in Nagoya.
The passionate lyrics, which swear love for his hometown and solidarity with his crew, resonate with the history of this famed establishment that has been around for over 60 years, making it a track that stirs the heart just by listening.
Produced by his close ally DJ RYOW, the beat hits hard—this is a hip-hop tune you definitely need to experience.

A hip-hop-style dance track that radiates intense energy, as if accelerating straight toward an unknown world.
It’s INI’s debut song, and the story of it being chosen by fan vote as the lead track for their single “A,” released in November 2021, is pretty thrilling too.
The track’s heavy, ground-shaking bass and razor-sharp beats intertwine with addictive force, sending your heart rate soaring every time you listen.

Can’t Stop the RomanticC-C-B
This is C-C-B’s second single, released on January 25, 1985.
The lyrics were written by Takashi Matsumoto and the music composed by Kyohei Tsutsumi.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Maido Osawagase Shimasu” and became a huge hit.
With Koji Kasa’s high-tone drum-vocals and its distinctive synth sound, it stands as a classic representative of 1980s pop.
In 2005, it was also featured as an insert song in the drama “Densha Otoko,” making it a well-known track across generations.
The overall vocal range is on the higher side, so I recommend singing with a more falsetto-leaning voice.
If you project strongly from the top of your head, you can produce a chest-voice-like tone even in falsetto and sing comfortably, so if you’re not confident, give it some practice!
