SynchrogazerMizuki Nana

A symphonic rock piece themed around awakening and resolve! If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a showstopper worthy of the name “Senki Zesshō,” showcasing overwhelming expressive power! I love Nana Mizuki and sing many of her songs, but “Synchrogazer” is quite challenging—the tempo is about 140, which is pretty fast.

On top of that, the pitch jumps are intense, and when you try singing with a pitch guide, you’ll often find the notes don’t seem to lock in, to the point where you might think, “Am I singing this wrong?” Solid rhythm and diaphragmatic breathing are absolutely essential! It’s such a cool song, so try practicing by changing the playback speed on YouTube and the like!

Buzz cut sheep is a rock band whose members have performed together since high school, all hailing from Wakayama Prefecture.

They’re a formidable act, honed in Osaka’s live house scene.

In 2017 they released “Mei-Mei,” followed by “Memory’s Surface” in 2018.

Their appeal lies in an emotional sound that carries on the lineage of guitar rock.

Their live performances are highly regarded as well—among other achievements, they won the audition for MIKROCK, one of the largest free festivals in the Kansai region.

Vocalist Kosuke Sekiguchi’s crafted lyrics and the band’s dramatic song structures are must-hear.

Their music will especially resonate with listeners of a generation grappling with everyday conflicts and a sense of restlessness.

THINK ABOUT MY DAUGHTERGLAY

This is a GLAY piece that sets a father’s deep love to a driving, exhilarating beat.

The song appears on the album ONE LOVE, released in November 2001, and although it wasn’t a single, it has remained a favorite among fans.

It warmly portrays a father’s gaze as he watches his daughter grow—from the awe of hearing her first cry, to her adorable early years, and eventually the moment she leaves the nest.

At the time of production, TAKURO, who wrote and composed the song, reportedly didn’t have children yet, but the parental feelings conveyed are so vivid that it’s hard to believe they’re imagined.

Listening to this piece will deepen your tenderness for your newborn child and make you all the more excited for the journey of growth ahead.
