SingularityVaundy
This is the official theme song for “Tate Museum — YBA & BEYOND,” held at the National Art Center, Tokyo, released on February 11, 2026.
Born from Vaundy’s experience living in the UK, the song is an exciting piece themed around a love for all forms of creation and a journey toward singularity.
Like “Fukakouryoku” and “Tokyo Flash,” it features a hip-hop-style beat approach, so the off-beats are just as important as the downbeats.
Since the tempo isn’t that fast, it might actually be easier to keep time by singing more crisply rather than in a flowing manner.
As you lock into the rhythm, you’ll likely notice the accent points too, so hit those accents vocally wherever the timing lines up.
SignalWANIMA
As you embark on your high school life, some of you may feel not only excitement but also anxiety.
In times like that, why not listen to WANIMA’s “Signal” to fire yourself up? Featured on their major-label first full-length album “Everybody!!,” this track was released in January 2018.
It was created for an NHK project to perform with 1,000 members of the 18-year-old generation, and it was also used as the theme song for Lotte’s “SOU” commercial featuring Suzu Hirose.
Its message—that even if you’re not fully formed yet, it’s enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with your friends and move forward—will give a powerful push to your back as you stand at the starting line.
It’s a song that supplies the energy you need to enjoy the days ahead to the fullest.
Islanders’ TreasureBEGIN
BEGIN is a band whose warm sound evokes the breeze of Okinawa and has been loved across generations.
This signature track of theirs is a moving number that asks about “what truly matters,” the kind of thing textbooks and TV don’t teach.
The well-known story goes that the lyrics were woven from words written by local junior high school students on Ishigaki Island.
Released as a single in 2002, it was written as the image song for NHK Okinawa’s “30th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion to the Mainland.” It is also known as a core track on the classic album “Begin no Shimauta ~Omoto Takeo 2~.” Give it a listen in those moments when, amid the rush of daily work, you suddenly think of your hometown or old friends.
Its gentle yet powerful vocals are sure to give a quiet push to men in their 40s.
Poem of the Sea BreezeGRe4N BOYZ
GRe4N BOYZ’s “Shiosai no Uta” is a promotional song for Kochi City released digitally on January 11, 2026.
Created with citizen participation, it reflects member HIDE’s feelings for Kochi, where he spent his youth.
The theme is departure and homecoming, and the artwork pays homage to Studio Ghibli’s “Ocean Waves,” a work HIDE deeply admires.
The song itself is a ballad with a relaxed tempo; as a GRe4N BOYZ track, the vocal range is higher than that of the average male singer.
Since it’s sung almost entirely in chest voice, it’s highly recommended for those who want to sing it comfortably and confidently.
The melody line isn’t very difficult, with an impression of delivering each lyric one by one.
Start by singing it carefully, and aim for a perfect 100!

This piece is one of the double A-side title tracks released in January 2001, and is also known as a re-cut from the album “break the rules.” It was used as the song for Meiji’s “Fran” commercial featuring Namie Amuro herself.
While it depicts the pain of parting, the lyrics that plead “I want you to remember” leave a strong impression.
The vocal range isn’t that wide, but the subtle rhythms and breath nuances are crucial, making it challenging to keep the performance from becoming monotonous.
The ad-libs in the chorus are also a key point, so be sure to listen closely to the original and lock in the groove.
It’s a deep, mature number you’ll want to sing when you want to create a calm, adult atmosphere.
