Lonely in TokyoMirei Touyama
Singer-songwriter Mirei Touyama.
This is “Lonely in Tokyo,” released under the name MIREI and gaining attention.
Its long-awaited Japanese-lyrics version is “Lonely in Tokyo (Japanese ver.).” The song captures the feelings of a woman who feels lonely even when she has family or a lover.
With a club-music vibe, it’s perfect for when you want to get hyped up.
It also sounds fun to compare the two versions and their lyrics.
filtrationMayumura Chiaki
Chiaki Mayumura is a singer-songwriter who thrives on variety shows and as a businessperson.
She’s an artist who showcases her talent across a wide range of fields.
Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend as an easy pick for scoring a perfect 100 is “Roka” (“Filtration”).
This track features a vocal line that leans somewhat toward spoken delivery.
If you’re used to standard Japanese, you might actually find it easier to match pitch in these parts.
The chorus does include high notes, but since the tempo is slow, I think it’s still easy to stay on pitch.
Romantic FlightIshii Tatsuya
Tatsuya Ishii, also known as Carl Smoky Ishii, the vocalist of Kome Kome Club formed in 1982, hails from Kitaibaraki City in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The group released massive hits such as “Kimi ga Iru Dake de” and “Roman Hikō.” Kome Kome Club’s appeal lies in their unique sound that blends a wide range of musical styles—from funk to mood kayō—along with highly entertaining live performances.
Beyond music, Ishii is active as a multi-artist who showcases his sensibilities in stage design, spatial production, costumes, and other fields.
Rock ‘n’ roll won’t stop.Shinsei Kamattechan
This is one of the signature songs by Shinsei Kamattechan, a band that captivates many rock fans with their intense live performances.
For those who love music, among the countless songs you listened to in your youth, weren’t there some that were so enthralling they sent an electric shock through your body? As we grow older, experiences like that become rarer, but within the lyrics of this song lies the “fateful encounter with a masterpiece” that music lovers have felt.
It’s a track that could be described as the very essence of youth.
Night of the RobotShinsei Kamattechan
Shinsei Kamattechan is an internet pop-rock band.
It was released in 2014 as a digital-only distribution.
True to the nature of an internet band, this video combines footage of the members performing in a dark forest with radiating light imagery as a single cohesive work.
You could call it an advanced performance format characteristic of the YouTube era.
It makes me feel as if my body and soul are sinking into a deep world.
June 11shinmon
This is a track whose straightforward, no-nonsense lyrics by Kobe-based rapper Jinmon hit straight to the heart.
The lyrics capture the shock of stepping into a club for the first time, and it’s a classic that conveys the message: I’m here by your side, cheering on a man chasing his dreams.
Lonely cocoaAkiyama Kiiro
Akiyama Kiro, a singer-songwriter who blends a rock flavor into catchy J-pop, is popular among young people.
He’s known for the depth of his lyrics, which consistently inspire a lot of interpretation among fans.
His classic track “Lonely cocoa” is a song that makes it relatively easy to score a perfect 100.
While the chorus jumps up an octave and there’s a single falsetto note in the bridge, there aren’t any particularly difficult parts otherwise.
In fact, since the song leans more toward the mid-to-low range overall, as long as you stay on pitch, it’s a track where you can definitely aim for a perfect score.
