Perform it at a party or for entertainment, and everyone there will be nodding along in solidarity.
It’s the perfect track for a get-together with friends swamped by work or studies, when you want to lean into the mood and hype things up.
Shufu no MichiUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
It’s an exhilarating track that likens everyday housework to an epic battle.
Released in April 2021 by Uchikubigokumon-Doukoukai, a band known for their “daily-life-driven loud rock,” it was written as the opening theme for the Netflix original anime The Way of the Househusband.
Perfect for a story about a former yakuza giving his all as a full-time househusband, the song portrays chores like doing laundry, cleaning, and shopping as scenes from a battlefield.
Heavy guitar riffs and tight rhythms deliver a powerful sound, topped with an irresistibly catchy melody.
Sing it with gratitude to those who keep the household running, and you’re sure to spark laughs and nods of recognition!
seasonarashi
This medium-tempo track by Arashi, gently wrapped in the breath of spring and the bittersweetness of farewell, is a perfect song for anyone who wants to greet graduation day with a smile.
The piano and strings evoke petals swirling through the air, while the subtle sound of the koto beautifully colors the uniquely Japanese atmosphere of spring.
Its warm message tells us that even when we’re apart, our hearts remain connected, filling the chest more with hope for reunion than with loneliness.
Included as a B-side on the single “Everything,” released in July 2009, it also drew attention as a tie-in song for the au by KDDI commercial “If We Weren’t Arashi.” Striking a perfect balance—neither too somber nor too boisterous—the tempo gently nudges you to take that new first step.
Highly recommended for graduation ceremonies when you want to face parting with friends positively or convey your gratitude in a calm, heartfelt way.
spring sunlightKanapu × Kujira
KAF × Kujira brings together two figures who embody the internet-born music scene: a virtual singer and a creator who started as a Vocaloid producer.
In March 2022, this track was released as the sixth installment of “Suite,” a collaboration project commemorating the third anniversary of KAF’s activities.
Timed with KAF’s own high school graduation, Kujira wrote this song around the themes of “graduation,” “departure,” and “spring.” The lyrics avoid direct words like “goodbye,” instead carefully depicting the fleeting inner landscape just before parting and the fragments of memory that race through one’s mind right before they’re put into words.
A classroom bathed in spring sunlight, the sudden pang of a casual conversation recalled—its allure lies in the open space that lets each listener naturally overlay their own graduation experiences.
Shimmering synths and a light beat evoke the brightness of spring, blending wistfulness and radiance in equal measure.
It’s a song we hope reaches anyone standing at a new threshold.
It smelled like shampoo.22/7
A 2nd single by 22/7 that portrays a secret longing for an upperclassman at an all-girls school.
Released in April 2018, the song delicately weaves the feelings of a faint, bittersweet crush.
It tells of parting with a senior who is leaving the club, the image of a white blouse turning translucent in backlight, and a gently drifting scent.
While carrying a love that can’t be told to anyone, the story unfolds up to the moment the senior embraces her, tightening the chest with every scene.
This work leaves the ache of an unfulfilled first love, yet also a lingering sense of solace.
It’s a song that quietly stands by those who cannot confide their feelings for someone of the same gender.
Shake handsPorunogurafiti
It’s the single released on November 19, 2025, and it’s the opening theme for the anime My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON.
Although it’s a PornoGraffitti song, it doesn’t feature many high notes compared to their other tracks and mainly sits in the mid range, so I think it’s easier for men to sing.
The timing of when you place your voice in the pre-chorus is important, and if you raise the energy a bit in the chorus, your voice will lean forward in a good way.
Aim your voice as if projecting into the distance, and it will carry without feeling strained!

Sugar losswanuka
It’s a song written for a DARS commercial and released in 2022.
The intro is striking, evoking a somewhat fantastical story, and the lyrics convey the feelings of a woman who is being told goodbye.
Unable to accept the parting, she blurts out, “Don’t say goodbye.” But she immediately corrects herself with, “I’m just kidding,” revealing how she can’t honestly express her true feelings—so painfully bittersweet.
Despite its cute, charming sound, it’s a heartbreak song overflowing with sadness.
