Mutual loveGReeeeN
The album Bokutachi no Denkousekka by GReeeeN, released in 2021.
The song Sōshi Sōai included on it, as the title suggests, is a love song that sings about mutual love.
When you’re in unrequited love, the big goal is to become a couple, but the real beginning—your starting line—comes after you both feel the same.
While the song naturally resonates with people in that stage, it’s also one I highly recommend to couples who have been together for a long time.
It will remind you of the faint, tender feelings from when you first fell in love with your partner.

Full of memoriesH₂O
One of the iconic songs that colored the youth of the 1980s is the track performed by H2O.
The song portrays a girl’s journey into adulthood and the complex emotions she experiences along the way.
Its memorable elements include an innocent smile, memories tucked away in an old photo album, and phrases that evoke Cinderella.
Released in March 1983, it was used as the ending theme for the anime Miyuki and ranked high on the Oricon charts.
Since then, it has often been sung in middle and high school music classes and choir competitions, and it was even featured in a commercial in 2005, remaining beloved across generations.
It’s a recommended song for when you want to relive the bittersweet days of youth or need the courage to face a turning point in life.
Sword Of JudgementHAGANE
HAGANE is one of Japan’s leading all-girl heavy metal bands.
They’re known for a style that faithfully inherits Japanese heavy metal and for their high-level performance.
Among their works, the one I particularly recommend as a practice piece for mixed voice is “Sword Of Judgement.” Since mixed voice and falsetto appear repeatedly in the chorus, it’s ideal not only for training mixed voice but also for strengthening high-register techniques overall.
Graduation SongHUNGRY DAYS
A song by the four-piece punk band HUNGRY DAYS, who, despite their short period of activity, captivated listeners with energetic, unadorned, straight-to-the-point lyrics.
Chosen as the ending theme for the talk variety show “Akko to Machami no Shingata Terebi,” it’s a graduation song with a pleasantly relaxed shuffle beat included on their first album, “We Are HUNGRY DAYS!!” While the tune works naturally as an acoustic-guitar-only solo performance, it primarily uses barre chords, so beginners should practice thoroughly.
It’s a number that resonates with graduates, conveying the message that a graduation ceremony is not only about parting ways but also about a fresh start.
Song for…HY
Born from keyboardist and vocalist Izumi Nakasone’s real-life experience, this memorable piece wrestles with the meaning of chance encounters and the intense, conflicted feelings for another.
Included on the album “TRUNK,” its earnest vocals, delivered alongside the piano’s beautiful timbre, resonate deeply.
A self-cover version appears on the album “STORY ~HY BEST~,” radiating a timeless charm that hasn’t faded with the years.
It’s a gentle ballad that invites empathy from those who can’t express their feelings, or who must seal them away due to circumstances such as each other’s situations or an age difference.
SOCIAL VIRUSHyde
HYDE’s new song “SOCIAL VIRUS.” HYDE has been consistently dropping great tracks, and this one stands out with a particularly strong hard rock flavor.
The overall sound is loud and intense, and the vocal lines match that with a raw, fierce delivery.
It demands a high level of power, expressiveness, and vibrato, so without solid fundamental vocal skills, it will be very difficult to pull off.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Even if that is your happiness.Heavenz
This is music that stays close to the painful feeling of “wanting to disappear.” It’s a signature work by Heavenz, also known as Heavens-P, released in 2013.
A ballad that wraps a band sound in the beautiful tones of piano and strings, it’s moving enough to bring you to tears from the sound alone.
Megurine Luka’s gentle singing voice is surely one reason why.
For those who are struggling, this song is there to keep you from taking that final step.
It will surely take you by the hand.
