sentimentalHirai Ken

Written and composed by Ken Hirai himself, this ballad captures the tenderness felt at the moment of parting and the poignant ache of a heart drifting away, and it was also used as the image song for the 25th Toyota Cup.

Because it is sung quietly throughout with only piano accompaniment, the delicacy of the vocals stands out.

It’s not a belting style, so I think it’s best to keep the resonance placed in the head consistently as you sing.

If you, like Ken Hirai, consciously lift your eyebrows firmly and aim a thin, straight-upward tone, it should make it easier even for those who struggle with falsetto.

Ken Hirai does this unconsciously too, so try singing while imitating the way he sings.

Akaharubana (feat. Lila Ikuta)sumika

Sumika is a rock band from Kawasaki, Kanagawa, performing with the hope that “music will become a home for people’s hearts.” This track, included on the single “Honto” released on February 25, 2026, is a much-talked-about number featuring YOASOBI’s Lila Ikuta as a guest.

It’s a self-cover that reconstructs the original song—produced in spring 2025 as FM802’s campaign song—through the lens of where the band stands now.

The lyrics portray youth not in blue but in the color “red,” passionately depicting spring’s meetings and partings, and giving us the courage to carry our past forward.

The warm harmony of their two voices overlapping feels like it will give a gentle push into the new season.

It’s an emotional pop tune you’ll want to listen to in the spring sunshine.
