Spring ThiefYorushika
This is a signature number by Yorushika, a band formed by composer n-buna and vocalist suis that evokes both the warmth and the wistfulness of spring at the same time.
It features the tone of an acoustic guitar and a pleasant rhythm, and its poetic worldview—likening the wind that scatters cherry blossoms to a “thief”—is especially captivating.
The song is included on the EP “Sōsaku,” released in January 2021, and also drew attention as the theme for a Taisei Corporation TV commercial.
Since the official audio was released about ten months after the commercial began airing, many fans had long been waiting for it.
Portraying cherry blossoms as a metaphor for life, this piece is perfect for karaoke in March, when farewells and new encounters intersect.
While it demands a wide vocal range and expressive power, it’s a track you’ll want to choose if you wish to sing with heartfelt emotion.
My dear best friendShonan no Kaze
This work by Shonan no Kaze brims with passionate feelings for the companions they spent time with and a resolve to head down their own paths.
Released as a single in February 2009, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Drop,” directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa.
It portrays an unbreakable, powerful bond forged through rivalry—at times colored by inferiority and frustration—yet never severed.
Rather than stringing together pretty words, it depicts the raw, clumsy, and honest clashes of male friendship that’s sure to stir listeners’ hearts.
The chorus delivers an exhilarating sense of the horizon opening up, making it a staple that sparks massive sing-alongs at live shows.
As spring arrives and friends begin to walk separate roads, why not listen to it to give a supportive push to a close friend wrestling with anxiety or loneliness—and to steel your own resolve as well?
White cityaibii karaa
A heartwarming love song you’ll want to listen to with someone special on a cold winter day.
Glittering strings and piano melodies vividly reflect a winter cityscape lit up with illuminations.
It’s filled with the excitement of heading to a meeting spot and the happy moments between lovers who find even the cold endearing, brightening the listener’s heart.
Released in November 2022 as the first installment of Ivy to Color’s “Pure Love Diptych,” this track is perfect not only for those on their way to a date, but also for nights when you want to feel the warmth of someone you love close by.

Are you overlooking the small joys in everyday life? The song by Police Piccadilly, known for sophisticated pop, was released in December 2025.
It’s the official theme for “Hatsune Miku LAWSON 50th Anniversary Special LIVE.” Its refreshing, comfortable rhythm is soothing, making the cityscape seem to shine.
The worldview that portrays the exhilaration found in daily life is also captivating.
As you embark on a new chapter, listening on your commute to school or work will surely put a spring in your step.
Shake ＆ Shakesumika
It’s an upbeat, crowd-pleasing song that’s fun to sing! Released on June 2, 2021 as a double A-side single, it includes Shake & Shake, the opening theme for the anime Pretty Boy Detective Club, and Night Walker.
The music video was reportedly sumika’s first attempt at a one-shot filming.
In the B-melody, cut the notes sharply, and in the chorus, aim for the higher pitches—rather than making a grimace, open your face and project a bright voice.
If you send your voice outward into the distance, it reduces any sense of strain and helps you keep your throat open!
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Wintersumika
This song was included on the double A-side single “Fanfare/Shunkashuto,” released on August 29, 2018, and was written specifically as the main theme and an insert song for the animated film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.” It’s a moving ballad that captures the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth! The tempo is relaxed, making it easy to keep time, and the melody line is straightforward.
The overall vocal range spans E3 to D5; the verses (A and B sections) sit in the middle range, while the chorus jumps up sharply into the high range, so it might be better to learn them separately.
When singing high notes, your throat can sometimes tense and constrict, so it’s good to keep your facial muscles lifted and maintain a bright expression.
As for the voice itself, I recommend projecting it confidently out into the distance.
Shape of LoveDISH//
Do you ever find that unforgettable memories of a past love suddenly resurface in a beautiful flash? Shape of Love, included on DISH//’s mini-album CIRCLE, is a mid-tempo ballad that vividly portrays those bittersweet emotions.
Released in February 2020, it drew attention for being co-written by singer-songwriter Yu Sakai, who composed the music, and vocalist Takumi Kitamura, who penned the lyrics.
Their deeply emotive performance on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE has also captured many hearts.
The lyrics, which struggle to seek an answerless shape of love, ride on a delicate yet grand melody that truly hits home.
On nights when you want to quietly immerse yourself in the helpless feelings that come with looking back on past love, Kitamura’s gentle voice will surely be there to keep you company.
