Deep Love EgoismCyntia

Formed in 2011, Cyntia is a fiercely beautiful hybrid metal band composed exclusively of five women.

While rooted in hard rock and heavy metal, they infused their original sound with pop elements, bringing a fresh breeze to the metal scene.

From their indie debut in 2012 to their major-label debut with Victor Entertainment, they rose to prominence at an extraordinary pace—just one year.

In 2013, they served as the backing band for KARA’s Tokyo Dome concert, delivering a commanding performance before 50,000 spectators.

The members’ high level of musicianship and the vocal prowess of SAKI—who has perfect pitch—truly stand out.

Until their indefinite hiatus in 2018, they continued to captivate passionate fans with a musical style that fused a heavy metal sound with a uniquely feminine delicacy.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience new possibilities in metal.

[SHI≦MAI] MV Himawari Channel Original Song #13! I love her but she’s super annoying! We turned the sisters’ true feelings into a song. himawari-CH
SHI≦MAIHIMAWARI channeru

This is a HIMAWARI Channel song that candidly portrays the bond between sisters with a catchy pop melody.

Released in February 2025, it depicts, from a down-to-earth perspective, how older sister Maachan and younger sister O-chan, despite their quarrels, are tied by deep affection.

The older sister is bewildered by her younger sister’s self-centered behavior, yet finds herself soothed by her brightness.

Meanwhile, the younger sister, though frustrated by her sister’s moodiness, genuinely enjoys the time they spend together.

It’s a recommended track not only for those with sisters, but also for anyone who wants to rediscover the importance of family.

sha la laSkoop On Somebody

A signature song by Skoop On Somebody, cherished for its heart-piercing harmonies and simple beauty.

Beginning with a scene at daybreak, the piece gently portrays the transparent feelings of lovers who understand each other beyond words, the loneliness felt in everyday life, and the preciousness of love shared with someone.

Released as a single in October 2001, it became widely known as the song used in Kao’s NIVEA Body commercial.

In 2017, to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut, a special version featuring collaborations with 20 artists from 15 acts, including AI and CHEMISTRY, also drew attention.

Sung a cappella, the warmth of the lyrics stands out even more.

When you think of TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, you think of that instantly recognizable, ultra-distinctive high-tone voice, right? Released in April 2025, Synchrome is another new masterpiece where TK’s searing high notes explode, fusing headlong velocity with both beauty and aggression.

Even though it’s a male–female duet featuring suis from Yorushika as a guest, it’s amazing that the male melody line sits in almost the same range as the female’s.

Even singers who can hit relatively high notes will find it challenging: the melody jumps up and down dramatically, and if you misjudge your breathing points, you’ll quickly find it impossible to keep singing.

Start by practicing each part little by little, and work on getting used to the song’s sense of speed.

When your spirit is about to break, when you want someone’s recognition, or when you want to find the strength to try once more, the message embedded in this piece will surely give you courage.

See the happiness.you-man

It’s a moving piece that begins with the gentle sound of rain.

Composed by Youman and released in November 2023, it drew attention as an entry in “Mushoku Toumei-sai II.” GUMI’s soft vocals melt into the delicate piano melody.

The combination of lyrics that portray finding hope in the scenery after the rain stops and the beautiful tones evokes a cleansing, heartwarming emotion.

It’s a healing track recommended for moments of calm or when you’re feeling worn out.
