Romantic Continentcozycozy
Cozycozy is a five-member twin-vocal band that’s steadily gaining popularity.
Their sound leans toward pop-infused rock and has been attracting dedicated Japanese rock fans.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Roman Continent.
The piece spans a fairly wide vocal range, but it doesn’t include phrases with rapid pitch jumps, so if you track the pitch carefully, scoring a perfect 100 is definitely achievable.
Add it to your repertoire, by all means.
LollipopNakamura Ryuta, Yamada Akihiro
Ryuuto Nakamura and Akihiro Yamada, core members of the up-and-coming, high-caliber group LIL LEAGUE, hail from Fukuoka Prefecture and were standout talents selected from “iCON Z,” the largest audition in LDH’s history with about 48,000 participants.
They made their major debut in January 2023 with the single “Hunter,” and won the New Artist Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards that same year.
In February 2024, they released the album “TRICKSTER,” continuing their rapid rise.
Devoted to music from a young age, Nakamura trained at the Avex Artist Academy Fukuoka since third grade, while Yamada, influenced by Michael Jackson in his childhood, has over a decade of dance experience—each bringing proven skills.
With strength in dance, vocals, and rap, these accomplished artists are ones to watch.
Lost In My RoomOfisharu Higedan Dism
A piece renowned as one of Official HIGE DANDism’s most difficult songs, “Lost In My Room.” The toughest part is undoubtedly the chorus.
There’s falsetto in the A section as well, but the chorus falsetto is breathtaking, featuring some very high notes.
On top of that, the overall vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 F# to hi G#, so there isn’t much room to lower the key.
Rather than simply dropping the key to make it easier, it’s important to consider the ease of producing the falsetto and, at times, even raise the key.
This varies depending on the singer’s vocal range, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but instead of avoiding high notes, approach the song by identifying the key in which even the high notes are easiest to sing.
Russian breadtama
Tama, a band that stood out for their one-of-a-kind musicality.
The song they crafted about a foreign bread is suffused with a slightly illicit, mysterious allure.
Over an exotic melody unfolds Kikuo Chiku’s boyish singing voice.
It carries the nostalgia of a children’s song, yet there’s an unsettling air that leaves the listener subtly on edge.
The piece seems to portray bread as a symbol of the curiosity and yearning for the unknown that awakens in adolescence.
It’s a track included on their July 1990 album Sandal, and is also known for having been performed on the TV program Ikaten.
Perfect for those who want to explore the deeper, not-just-sweet narrative qualities of bread.
Why not take your time savoring this surreal, imagination-stirring world?

Rock ‘n’ roll drummers love cleaning.Gita Panda
An artist who made his major-label debut at 24 and is now expanding his fan base while producing albums for various musicians, Guitar Panda.
The track “Rock ’n’ Roll Drummers Love Cleaning,” included on his 8th album, Guitar Panda’s Rock ’n’ Roll Pandemic, features irresistibly catchy phrases that stick in your head.
Its cleaning-themed lyrics are likely to evoke the year-end atmosphere familiar to people in Japan.
It’s a catchy pop tune that also makes you rethink your relationship with cleaning.
Romantic In LoveKaragoromo
It’s a pure, heartwarming love song that sings, “No matter what happens, I’ll keep on loving only you.” The track is by the Vocaloid producer Karakurenai, known for hits like “Sphinx” and “Ryotei Banrai,” and was released in June 2023.
Its gentle charm comes from a band sound colored by piano and strings.
As the title suggests, you can sense the sweet, romantic relationship between the two protagonists.
Miku’s calm vocal delivery matches perfectly.
Be sure to give it a listen with your partner.
Rock ‘n’ Roll New Year’s Gift MoneyOhtaki Eiichi
A song that paints New Year’s scenes in Japan to a rock ’n’ roll rhythm perfectly captures the excitement of the season.
It weaves traditional events like the Joya no Kane temple bells, the first shrine visit of the year (Hatsumōde), and kite flying into catchy, pop-style lyrics, with playful nods to classic Western music phrases.
Showcasing Eiichi Ohtaki’s unique musical flair, the track was included on the 1977 album “NIAGARA CALENDAR.” There’s even an anecdote that the sound effects at the beginning were recorded by Ohtaki himself.
Sing it at a New Year’s party or class reunion and it’s sure to get everyone—across generations—fired up.
It’s the perfect song for anyone wanting to soak up the New Year spirit or enjoy a harmonious blend of Japanese and Western styles.
