Because I like you.RADWIMPS
Included on the album “RADWIMPS 2: Hatten Tojo” is the song “Sorya Kimi ga Suki Dakara.” It’s a rock track with a distinctive guitar sound.
While repeating the title phrase, it portrays someone trying to convey their love to the person they’re interested in.
The intense sound and rapid-fire sections might make it seem difficult, but the first half and the chorus are mid-tempo, so it should be relatively approachable.
Another nice point is that the overall vocal range sits on the lower side.

RED, a Vocaloid producer who debuted in 2021.
The work that shot his name to prominence was “Creation,” which ranked 10th in the Rookie Ranking at VocaColle 2022 Autumn.
The piece is composed of two major melodies: in the first half, a quiet melody conveys the vulnerable parts of the heart, while in the second half, the key shifts to an up-tempo melody that portrays overcoming that weakness.
Also noteworthy are the emotionally expressive vocals and his one-of-a-kind word choices that interweave English.
