Hikari Mitsushima is popular as a talented actress, but she’s actually a very skilled singer as well.

Having originally performed with the idol unit Folder5, her vocals are remarkably steady.

Her pleasantly airy high notes and powerful voice are the kind you’ll want to hear again and again.

Please enjoy the female-key version of “Roman Hikō.”

It’s a really cool song right from the intro.

The repeated parts like “one more time, one more time” and “the girl says, the girl says” make it a lot of fun to sing at karaoke while everyone adds call-and-response.

Give it a go with lots of energy!

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.

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.
