salad bowlIshino Riko
Riko Ishino, who began her entertainment career as a 20th-term student at Actors School Hiroshima, debuted in 2014 as the lead vocalist of Idol Renaissance.
In May 2018, she joined the girls’ rock band Akai Koen as their vocalist, revealing new facets of her talent through her powerful singing.
After the band disbanded in 2021, she launched a solo career and, in parallel, formed the band Aooo in August 2023.
Active across diverse fields—idol, rock band, and solo—she has earned widespread acclaim for her abilities, including performing the national anthem before a professional baseball game at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima in 2016.
Her voice combines delicate expressiveness with formidable power, spanning genres from pop to rock.
As a new talent in J-pop, she continues to capture the attention of music fans.
Sakura, flutterSazan Ōrusutāzu
The announcement commercial for the Southern All Stars feature streaming on U-NEXT uses “Sakura, Hirari.” It’s a digital-only single released in January 2025.
The lyrics are said to sing of the feelings of earthquake victims, and while they convey pain and sorrow, they also evoke a sense of strength and hope to move forward again.
Its beautiful, warm, spring-like imagery is also captivating, making it a heartwarming song.
Romance at the Ends of the EarthŌe Yutaka
Oe Hiroshi’s masterpiece “Saihate Roman,” noted for its grand melody, features a very relaxed tempo.
As a result, each note is relatively long, yet there are well-placed rests throughout.
While there are moments with the delicate vocal lines characteristic of enka, the extremely slow tempo makes the singing feel closer to 1970s pop.
To handle the abundance of long tones, it’s recommended to add dynamic nuance and avoid starting with a loud volume right away.
Woman of FateŌe Yutaka
Among Hiroshi Oe’s songs, the one I especially recommend to women is Sadame no Onna.
Although this piece falls into the so-called “onna-uta” (women’s song) category, it leans more toward kayōkyoku than straight enka, so you won’t find the delicate, ornamented vibrato runs—driven by dramatic dynamics—that are typical of many onna-uta.
In fact, there’s only one clear instance of kobushi (traditional enka ornamentation) in the chorus, making it a fairly easy song to sing.
The range is somewhat wide, so I recommend carefully determining the most suitable key before performing.
Instead of goodbyeTUBE × GACKT
This gem of a ballad features a beautiful harmony created by the collaboration between TUBE and GACKT that resonates deeply in the heart.
Their two voices gently sing about the universal themes of encounters and farewells.
The music video stars Yutaka Matsushige and Kenichi Endo, whose wordless drama delivers a profoundly moving performance.
Released in February 2024, the song was first unveiled at the FNS Music Festival in December 2023, touching the hearts of many.
It’s a heartwarming piece I recommend to those who have experienced parting with a loved one or who wish to express their gratitude to someone dear.
Cherry Kiss ~It’s gonna explode~KOTOKO
The theme song for a bishoujo game by KOTOKO, known for its brisk tempo and catchy melody, was produced in March 2003 as the theme for the 18+ romance adventure game “Colorful Kiss ~12 Heart-Pounding Moments!~.” With lyrics by KOTOKO and composition/arrangement by C.G mix, it was later included in I’ve Sound’s compilation album “SHORT CIRCUIT” in November of the same year.
This track is often hailed as a landmark denpa song, featuring highly entertaining production with voice actor-style spoken lines and unforgettable phrases.
In June 2022, a remake version was included on the album “Sweet Cyclone -☆Yay☆-,” winning over a new generation of fans.
Its distinctive lyrics and melody, along with a fun call-and-response structure, make it perfect for getting everyone pumped up at karaoke.
After the early-summer rainONEGRAM
ONEGRAM’s richly layered track deftly weaves elements of soul, disco, and city pop into the mellow essence of lovers rock.
Its straightforward, heartfelt lyrics blend seamlessly with a groovy sound, balancing urban sophistication with warm expressiveness.
Released as a 7-inch vinyl by Flower Records in June 2024, it features a funky disco-reggae cover of “It’s Just Begun” on the B-side.
The same month saw the release of the album “THIS IS US,” which drew attention for further deepening the band’s musicality.
With its inviting groove and urbane mellowness, this piece is perfect for a calm night drive or a relaxing moment—and it’s also a great choice to color special times with someone important.
