Masterpieces and popular songs by SEKAI NO OWARI (SekaOwa)

Let me introduce some songs by the four-piece rock band SEKAI NO OWARI, also known as SekaOwa.

Their music features vocals with Auto-Tune and is captivating for its fantasy-filled soundscapes.

SekaOwa often stirs controversy—starting with remarks like “we don’t need guitars”—and they’re frequently criticized.

But you could also say they’re constantly pursuing a new style that doesn’t fit within the conventional boundaries of music.

While I introduced them at the outset as a rock band, in that sense it might be more accurate to describe them not as a band, but as an entertainment collective.

With that, please enjoy the music of the entertainment collective SEKAI NO OWARI.

TokyoSEKAI NO OWARI

Owl City – Tokyo (Official Visualizer) ft. SEKAI NO OWARI
TokyoSEKAI NO OWARI

A song co-written and realized in collaboration between SEKAI NO OWARI and the famous international artist Owl City.

As the title suggests, it’s about Tokyo.

The lyrics are entirely in English, and it’s a catchy, very bright, up-tempo track.

DoppelgangerSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI’s masterpiece “Eye.” It’s an album that ventures into genres they hadn’t explored before, and one of the tracks included, “Doppelganger,” is characterized by a style that incorporates jazz elements.

It’s not hardcore jazz, so the rhythm is easy to follow, and the vocal range isn’t very wide, making it a song that even those who aren’t confident in singing can try.

There aren’t many long notes either, so even if you can’t do vibrato, it’s still easy to make it sound good—another point that makes it singer-friendly.

DropoutSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “Dropout.” This piece features a sound influenced by Western music, and all of the lyrics are sung in English.

In terms of genre, it’s closest to electropop, and it even includes a drop, a hallmark of electronic styles.

While the English can be challenging, the vocal lines themselves are very simple compared to Western pop, so it should be easy to sing.

If you’re not confident in English, try focusing on liaison, which connects the vowel at the end of one word to the consonant at the beginning of the next.

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI’s smash hit song “Habit.” Released in 2022, it went explosively viral through TikTok and achieved remarkable success, including winning the Japan Record Award.

The track is notable for its smooth, pleasant flow.

Songs with a strong flow can sometimes seem tricky to keep rhythm with, but since it doesn’t use advanced rhythms like emphasizing off-beats, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.

Also, the overall vocal range is narrow, so even those who struggle with high notes can sing it comfortably.

SEKAI NO OWARI MedleySEKAI NO OWARI

This is a piano medley that brings together songs by a band whose original and artistic musicality has garnered attention and continues to be loved by many fans.

While many of the original tracks already featured piano timbres, the medley achieves a superb balance by expressing the other instruments on the piano as well.

TONIGHTSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI’s hidden gem “TONIGHT.” Noted for its distinctive effects, this track overall is crafted with a soft, acoustic vibe reminiscent of the ’90s and 2000s.

The vocal range is narrow, so even those who can’t hit high notes should be able to sing it without trouble.

The tempo is slow as well, making it very easy to keep the rhythm.

If you absolutely want to sing with effects, try adding an effect that recreates double-tracking rather than using Auto-Tune.

EdenSEKAI NO OWARI

The song Eden, included on the album Eye released in 2019.

Among SEKAI NO OWARI’s works, this is a particularly popular acoustic number, characterized by an overall highly languid mood.

With its relaxed rhythm and narrow vocal range, it’s a very approachable piece even for those who struggle with singing.

Because the arrangement is simple, the one tricky point is that it leaves little room to disguise imperfections in the vocals.

If you tend to make mistakes when performing in front of others, start by thoroughly learning the vocal lines and rhythm.
