lantern carousel (literally “revolving lantern”; also used metaphorically for a life-flashing-before-your-eyes montage)Vaundy
Vaundy, whose mellow tunes are also popular, has many fans who love his languid, ennui-tinged songs.
For those listeners, we recommend the track “Sōmatō” (“Revolving Lantern”).
This piece blends elements of indie rock and indie pop, characterized by a laid-back feel throughout.
While the chorus requires a powerful delivery, the long tones use a “fall” technique—gently dropping the pitch—which makes it easier to sing even for those who aren’t confident with their breathing.

And that electrifying guitar riff—what an incredible, powerful rock sound.

Released in February 1995, it peaked at No.
6 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and was also used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s program “Mars TV.” It’s a recommended track not only for those from the Kansai region but also for anyone who wants to savor the charm of Kansai dialect to the fullest.

Souls feat. suis from YorushikaWurtS
Singer-songwriter WurtS, who draws attention for his sophisticated musicality and even his ventures into video production, is a multi-talented artist.
Here is his collaboration with suis, known as the vocalist of Yorushika: “Souls feat.
suis from Yorushika.” The song is arranged predominantly in the low to mid range throughout, so the vocal range is narrow and it’s easy for women to sing as well.
The vocal line doesn’t have drastic pitch changes either, making it a straightforward and easy song to sing.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

‘Sora to Ao,’ which was used as the theme song for the 2021 drama ‘My Daughter Can’t Get a Boyfriend!!.’ In the drama, the theme was sung by singer-songwriter Leo Ieiri.
What we’re introducing here is the self-cover version by Yohei Kawakami, the vocalist of [Alexandros], who composed the song.
It has a charm that’s different from Ieiri’s version, doesn’t it? It’s a perfect track to listen to under the vast, clear blue skies of spring.

If I sing to the skyamazarashi
A song by the rock band amazarashi whose powerful vocals and straightforward lyrics pierce the heart.
