Masterpieces with Titles Starting with “Ru” (131–140)
RookieSakanakushon
One of Sakanaction’s signature songs.
If you’re aiming for something a bit stylish with a twist, this track might hit just the right spot.
It’s not a love song, but it has a soaring chorus and quieter sections, making it easy to sing with clear dynamics.
It’s not the kind of song that everyone knows, but since it’s been used as incidental music on TV and elsewhere, many people will probably recognize it and be receptive to it.
LunaLunasupittsu
With its expansive high-tone vocals, light guitar cutting, and relaxed yet punchy drum sound, this masterpiece creates a wonderfully pleasant vibe.
Spitz fans often shortlist it as a heavy-rotation pick for sunny-day driving music.
ROOMChekkāzu
This song gently sings about a love that will never return, all within a calm, serene mood.
Released as a single in 1989, it was later included on the album “Seven Heaven.” It drew attention in various ways—for example, it was the first single released after the era name changed to Heisei, and it was the 100th song since The Checkers’ debut.
The soothing sound with a strong kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) feel is striking, and it really highlights the bittersweet story told in the lyrics.
Matching the sound, the vocal delivery has a composed tempo, making it a track you can sing while feeling the rhythm and staying relaxed.
Lupin the Third Theme Song IIChārī Kōsei
The ending theme of the first season of the popular anime Lupin the Third.
Its soulful, 1970s rock sound and Charlie Kosei’s sexy vocals create an adult atmosphere, despite being an anime.
The whistling that runs in unison with the vocals calls to mind another signature piece by composer Takeo Yamashita: the theme from Ooka Echizen.
RunawayDīn Fujioka
Dean Fujioka, who drew major attention in Japan for his portrayal of Tomoatsu Godai in the NHK morning drama series Asadora “Asa ga Kita,” is active not only as an actor but also as a singer-songwriter and film director.
While living in Jakarta and elsewhere in Indonesia, he began his music career, and in 2013 his own song “My Dimension” was chosen as the theme for the film “I am ICHIHASHI: Taiho Sareru Made,” which he both starred in and directed.
Since then, he has released numerous tracks for dramas and films he has appeared in, including “History Maker,” the opening theme of the anime “Yuri!!! on ICE.” His music is distinctive, evoking the feel of Western pop, and is complemented by his gentle, appealing vocals.
Lura luraHitorie
HITORIE is a rock band formed around wowaka, who is also highly acclaimed as a Vocaloid producer.
They deliver edgy, sensational rock to their listeners.
Among their songs, the perfect one for letting off steam is “Rurarura.” It was included on their 2012 album Room Sick Girls Escape.
The technical band performance driven by a four-on-the-floor drum beat is addictively catchy.
Why not channel a festival or live-house frontman and belt it out?
RumorPorisupikaderī
A super stylish Vocaloid tune that will make you crave a sweet-and-sour fizzy soda! It’s a 2019 track by Police Piccadilly, the Vocaloid producer behind hits like “Kire Carrion.” This electric number has a soft, airy vibe, featuring GUMI’s distinctively tongue-twisting vocal tuning.
Its urbane sonic approach is sure to resonate with trend-savvy listeners in their twenties.
If you’re in the mood for something emo, this is the one!
