RobinsonKusano Masamune (Supittsu)
Masamune Kusano, as the frontman of Spitz, has long been at the forefront of Japan’s rock scene.
His lyrics often feel like a novel or a single unfolding story, leaving plenty of room for interpretation—one for every listener.
While the lyrics have a rich, nuanced flavor, many of the songs themselves carry a gentle, soft atmosphere, winning over a broad range of fans.
Be sure to pay attention to his clear, straight-reaching beautiful vocals as you listen.
Roppongi Junjō-haOginome Yōko
Speaking of Yoko Oginome, her song “Dancing Hero,” famous for the Bubble-era dance craze, had a revival too, didn’t it? When you think of Roppongi during the bubble economy, it must have been incredibly lively.
Yoko Oginome is perfectly suited to sing a pure-hearted story set in that very Roppongi.
Her boyish look and glossy high notes are so cool.
With a voice that remains unchanged even now, Oginome is, for young people too, an ideal woman who makes you think, “I want to be an adult like her.”

Romance Once AgainKuzuya Yoko
It’s a song created as a commercial jingle for the Odakyu Romancecar, and I think many of you will find it familiar.
It has been performed by various musicians, but this video features the version sung by singer-songwriter Yoko Kuzuya.
It was released as a single in July 2007.
Lonely RhapsodyFuji Kaze
A unique piece that starts with a DAW metronome, “Lonely Rhapsody.” It’s a masterpiece with a refreshing track reminiscent of 1980s city pop, highlighted by soulful accents that occasionally use blue notes.
Since there aren’t sections where you need to belt, I think it’s relatively easy to sing.
However, the falsetto that appears near the end of the chorus might be challenging for many.
If you can record at home, you might be able to compensate by boosting the high frequencies with an equalizer and applying a gentle touch of Auto-Tune.
Romantic, in a flirty/excited moodFujimoto Miki
Miki Fujimoto’s third single, released on September 4, 2002.
From the magical, glittering intro to the spell-like way the vocals begin, the atmosphere makes Fujimoto shine all the more like a goddess—it’s a beauty-cutie of a track.
Once the intro ends, the sound carries you all the way through with a bouncy, skippy rhythm and an irresistible beat.
The brand-new romance between the two feels like a scene from a drama—so cute and heartwarming! A sparkling love song through and through!
loadToraburyū
A nonfiction song said to be based on an episode written in a letter from a Toraburyu (Tora Buryu/T-BOLAN? Tiger Dragon?) fan.
It’s a tearjerker that expresses feelings for a girlfriend who tragically died in an accident.
It became a massive hit, selling 2.2 million copies.
Takahashi George singing with deep emotion is really cool.
Loki (Mikito-P)dasoku
This is Dasoku, a singer who skillfully switches from a deep, rugged male voice to a sultry singing tone.
He began his activities in 2008 and has continued to thrive at the forefront of the utaite scene to this day.
On YouTube, in addition to vocaloid covers, he also posts fishing and cooking videos, which give you a feel for who he is—highly recommended.
In particular, for those of you looking to step up your utaite activities, we strongly suggest checking out his singing how-to video series introduced in this review.
You’ll definitely find it helpful.
