Masterpieces with Titles Starting with “Ru” (41–50)
LUCID DREAMSG
This is SG’s latest release, capturing an unreal and mysterious atmosphere.
Chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Confinement Zone Level X,” the track is a rock-tinged number centered on the theme of lucid dreaming.
As the boundary between dreams and reality blurs, it sings of unattainable wishes and a powerful yearning for reunion.
The harmonies—featuring SG’s falsetto and growl-like “dummy voice”—leave a strong impression and convey deep emotion.
Digitally released on September 7, 2024, this marks SG’s first anime tie-in.
It’s a song packed with the appeal of SG, a Japan–Korea mixed singer-songwriter who’s drawing growing attention.
Be sure to give it a listen.
loopnegoto
A track marked by airy, floating synth tones and an irresistibly danceable beat.
This song was included on the compilation album “Senkou Riot 2008” after receiving the Jury’s Special Award at the inaugural Senkou Riot, a rock festival exclusively for teens.
Carried by Ms.
Aoyama’s crystal-clear vocals, it captures the complex emotions of youth—an intermingling of hope and anxiety born from days that feel the same.
You want to start something new, but you can’t quite take that last step… this song just might gently stand by those feelings.
lookin’ forsupittsu
This is the 32nd single, released on April 18, 2007.
The title comes from “Looking for,” and it’s written as an encouraging, upbeat song that says it’s okay to be different from others.
When you’re feeling down from work or other things, listening to this song might lift your spirits.
Ulysses in Lapis Lazuli Blueiruka aisu
This is a duet by Iruka Ice that sings of “celebrating the path we’ve walked and the brilliant future ahead.” Released in August 2023, it’s featured on the compilation album “39×YOU.” The lyrics, which liken Hatsune Miku’s 16-year history to a journey, carry a heartfelt narrative.
The warm back-and-forth with KAITO conveys a sense of camaraderie and leaves listeners feeling happy.
If sung as a male–female pair, the festive sound and plentiful call-and-response moments are sure to bring the energy up.
LOOP ~One of the BE:ST-03 RYUHEI~RYUHEI
This song was created as part of BE:FIRST’s solo project and is RYUHEI’s solo track.
The vocal range is around D3–D5, focusing mainly on the lower register.
Overall, the song has a calm feel, so it should be easy to sing for lower-voice male singers who aren’t comfortable with high notes.
The chorus gets a bit higher, but since it’s a stylish track with strong R&B elements, singing gently in falsetto without belting fits the song well.
I think it’s great to have a song like this in your repertoire, so definitely give it a listen!
Lupin The Third<ルパン三世のテーマ>MONKEY MAJIK
Included on MONKEY MAJIK’s best album “RARE TRACKS,” released on March 2, 2011.
It’s a cover of the well-known theme song from “Lupin the Third,” with all lyrics in English.
By being in English, it evokes the atmosphere of Britain’s Sherlock Holmes, giving the song a flavor distinct from the original.
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.
