Soni Azure Codetoripiyo

It expresses the frustration of feelings that can’t be conveyed through Miku’s singing voice, yet the continued prayers still squeeze your heart tight.
It’s also connected to past works “Anemone Glitch” and “Calmia Dolls,” so be sure to listen to them together!
As long as the sun is in the skynishikino akira
Akira Nishikino, whose nickname “Star Nishikino” has really taken hold, often steals the show—even more than some comedians—on variety programs, whether he’s being dropped into trapdoors or gliding across snowy fields on a bicycle.
His signature song is ‘As Long as There’s a Sun in the Sky.’ The easy call-and-response in the A-melody makes it a karaoke favorite.
Its straightforward lyrics, themed around ‘a love that never changes,’ are quintessential Showa-era pop.
Of course, it’s also a must-recommend track that’s bound to resonate in the Reiwa era too!
graduation ceremonyfuyuyu xx
Fuyu×× debuted as a Vocaloid producer in March 2022.
Their first work is “Sotsugyou” (Graduation), which uses the Vocaloid KAFU.
It’s a story-driven song that portrays meeting a senior, the deepening of their bond, and their parting at the graduation ceremony.
It’s perfect for sending off seniors with a chorus, too.
The tempo is mid-tempo, so it won’t feel too somber—you can give a bright send-off.
For those who want to sing it, note that it stays in a high register throughout; if that’s difficult, consider arranging it.

Cherry blossom-lined streetfuwafuwa
This is the sixth single by Fuwafuwa, one of the groups belonging to Harajuku Ekimae Parties.
As their name suggests, they’ve gained popularity with performances in fluffy costumes and classic idol songs.
The cute vocals layered over edgy synth sounds and gentle melodies perfectly evoke the image of a quintessential idol group.
With lyrics themed around graduation, the bittersweet feel seems just right for the season when cherry blossoms are dancing in the air.
It’s a spring song with clear, high-transparency melodies and arrangement that feels comfortable and adds color to any hanami gathering.
The end of lovemafumafu
A song by Mafumafu, the singer-songwriter also known from the musical unit After the Rain.
It tells the story of a bittersweet love: going to a summer festival with someone you like, but lacking the courage to confess and letting it end there.
I’m sure many people have had a similar experience.
The lyrics are packed with delicate, true-to-life feelings, like memories of a fleeting love from school days.
If you’ve ever given up on a crush at a festival, please give it a listen.
Sakura Lovemosao.
This song is recommended for anyone who wants to hear a bittersweet love song set just before graduation.
Its emotionally rich melody resonates deeply, and the lyrics depict a love that fades away before graduation.
Mosawo’s delicate yet powerful vocals exquisitely capture both the sweetness and bitterness of unrequited love, stirring the listener’s heart.
Many people probably had experiences similar to the protagonist in the lyrics during their school days.
Listening to this track will surely bring back the sweet and sour memories of your youth.
at that timeyuzu
A digital-only single by Yuzu, released in May 2020.
There are many kinds of high-tone vocalists, but Iwasawa from Yuzu doesn’t use a piercing, metal-style high register; his hallmark is a voice that retains a gentle softness even at high pitches.
My impression is that he probably sings most of his range using mix voice.
The transitions between chest voice, mix, and falsetto are extremely smooth, making the shift points hard to detect—one of the secrets behind Iwasawa’s captivating singing.
This vocal style also fits perfectly with Yuzu’s folk-influenced sound.
He’s a vocalist male singers aiming to improve should definitely study.
