More beautiful than deathtsukuyomi
A Tsukuyomi song that portrays the story of two girls swaying between “death” and “life.” Released in May 2024, this track opens the concept album We Call That God.
Centered on the rooftop moment when a girl with the special ability of precognitive dreams meets a girl about to end her life, it gently weaves the special feelings that grow between them.
It’s a piece I’d especially recommend to anyone who wants to receive the message that you don’t need a reason to care about someone.
Soap bubbleNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
Boosted by the popularity of the tie-in TV drama of the same name, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 24th single became a million-seller.
Released in October 1991, it topped the Oricon weekly chart and sold over 1.1 million copies in total.
The lyrical guitar-riff intro and the folk-rock sound centered on acoustic guitar lend the entire track a wistful atmosphere.
Recorded in Los Angeles with top American session musicians, it achieves a grand, expansive sonic image.
The lyrics are emotional, portraying someone who, while confronting the injustices of society, keeps struggling to launch their dreams again and again.
It’s a track you’ll want to hear if you’ve faced setbacks but are trying to look ahead, or on nights when you want to savor life’s bitterness and hope at the same time.
Islanders’ TreasureBEGIN
A classic song that represents Okinawa, widely known as the image song for NHK’s “30th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion to the Mainland.” It’s popular across generations, but when a man in his 50s sings it at karaoke or in a snack bar, his life experience adds a persuasive depth that warms up the room.
Since the song itself has a gentle Okinawan feel, it’s better to sing softly, as if speaking to the listener, rather than belting it out.
The melody flows smoothly, so try not to break the phrases too much—take a good breath and sing through to the end of each line.
That will help bring out the right atmosphere.
TheaterKing&Prince
A dance number brimming with exhilaration that rides a funk groove and invites you to the movie theater.
King & Prince, the duo of Ren Nagase and Kaito Takahashi—both radiating singular presence as actors as well—deliver this track as the lead song from their album “STARRING,” slated for release in December 2025.
Written and composed by singer-songwriter Ayumu Imazu, the piece pairs lyrics that stoke anticipation for the story about to unfold with a refined beat, in perfect harmony.
Won’t you follow along as they take the stage like theater impresarios?
SharonOfisharu Higedan Dism
A song released in July 2024 and the theme song for the drama “Mountain Doctor.” The lyrics portray conflicts in family life and everyday living, making it a track that’s easy to sing with emotion at karaoke.
Among Higedan’s songs, I feel the melody line is relatively simple and easy to sing.
A student who wanted to practice falsetto and gentle singing chose this song, and since I like “Sharon,” there was a time when they worked hard on it as an assignment piece.
Since Fujihara-san basically sings it gently, I think it suits the mood if you place each note carefully and sing with delicate phrasing.
A Philosophy of Happiness Led by the First TrainOfisharu Higedan Dism
It’s a bittersweet love song that uses the scene of the first train stealing away a lover to question farewell, regret, and the meaning of happiness.
The overall vocal range is F#3–D5, which is generally on the higher side, but since it’s a band sound, it should be easy to sing if you can ride the rhythm.
The melody is simple, so it shouldn’t be hard to learn the song! The high notes in the chorus require a horizontally drawn articulation—be careful not to strain too much.
Create space in your mouth and aim the voice slightly upward as if you’re humming—that works well! Breath control and quick attack are key.
The ending features a high-tone long note, so make sure to manage your breath properly!
SHADOWS ON THE GROUNDYellow Magic Orchestra
It’s a sophisticated number that skillfully incorporates elements of mature AOR and bossa nova.
Its distinctive “trompe-l’oeil” rhythmic structure makes it hard to tell where the downbeat is at first listen, revealing a highly advanced musical design.
Co-written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, it appears on the album “SERVICE,” released in December 1983.
The lyrics delicately depict warmth found amid the bleak scenery of November, along with the interplay of light and shadow.
As a masterpiece that captures the mature atmosphere just before YMO’s breakup, it’s perfect for listening alone on a quiet night, taking it in with full attention.
