For that dayKitahara Mirei
This gem of a ballad features Mirei Kitahara’s richly expressive voice that resonates in the heart.
It vividly portrays the loneliness and wistfulness felt on quiet nights, as well as deep feelings for a loved one.
Released in February 2024, the work has come to be widely recognized as one of Kitahara’s signature songs.
Complex emotions are conveyed with a quiet yet powerful intensity, rendering a fading love beautifully and poignantly.
For those standing at a turning point in life or wishing to bare hidden feelings, it will offer great courage.
Please take your time and listen closely.
Soran JingiKitajima Saburō
Speaking of Saburo Kitajima, his vocals are known more for their rough, powerful quality than for delicacy.
His song “Soran Jingi,” however, is unusual among his works in that it places greater emphasis on a delicate vocal approach.
There are no intense shouts; instead, the song’s expression is shaped throughout by dynamics and kobushi (ornamental turns).
Since it doesn’t demand fundamental vocal strength as much, it relies mainly on advanced techniques—such as the hiccup method frequently used in kobushi, where the voice is flipped—making it an especially singable piece for those confident in fine, technical control.
Soran BushiHokkaidō min’yō
If it’s a folk song everyone knows, it’s a sure bet! The Soran Bushi, a traditional song beloved especially in Hokkaido.
Centered on herring fishermen heading out to sea, this stirring piece conjures vivid scenes just by listening.
For some, it may bring back memories of the dance scene from the TV drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B.” If you’re from the north, it might feel especially nostalgic.
It’s a karaoke recommendation that will instantly liven up the room—sing it with passion!
Talent, my foot.gogo tī
A hyper-pop track by the Vocaloid producer Gogo-Tea, known for winning numerous awards with songs like “COMPLEX” and “divide.” The quietly unfolding first verse is easy to sing in a calm manner, so even people who don’t usually sing Vocaloid songs might find it approachable! To capture the song’s vibe, try keeping a tight, subtle vertical groove with your rhythm.
In contrast, the chorus—an explosive release of inexplicable youthful impulse—should be belted out with all your energy.
The lyrics are highly relatable, so they may strike a chord with listeners.
Graduation Daynamu abedabutsu
A graduation ceremony marks the end of student life.
The perfect song for that special day is this track by Namu Abedabutsu.
Released as a digital single in January 2021, it was created based on their experiences right after graduating high school.
The lyrics, filled with the sadness of parting, hope for the future, and feelings of gratitude, are sure to resonate deeply with students facing graduation.
This down-to-earth youth anthem, sung over a powerful punk rock beat, is perfect for looking back on memories with friends.
Highly recommended for those who want to get everyone fired up at a graduation live show or farewell party.
Songs that start with “So” (Japanese syllable ‘So’). Great for word-chain games or karaoke picks! (391–400)

The boy group Genin wa Jibun ni Aru.
was formed through the debut project “BATTLE STREET.” Their debut was announced at the live show “BATTLE BOYS LIVE 2019 ~DREAMS COME TRUE~” by their labelmates BATTLE BOYS, which drew considerable attention.
Not only are their songs excellent, but they also actively hold events and concerts where fans can interact with the artists—one of their key attractions.
If you become a fan after listening to their music, I highly recommend going to see them in person.

The video highlights her warm personality.
