The title “End Roll” refers to the list of cast and crew names that scrolls at the end of a film.

Since the word “goodbye” appears in this song, it’s easy to assume at first listen that it’s about the end of a romance, but in fact it’s a love song that portrays deep affection.

One form of love comes to a close, and another begins—a dramatic development that suggests a new start, namely marriage—which really resonates.

It’s a gentle ballad with a beautiful melodic line, so it might be a bit challenging for karaoke, but it’s a great choice when you want to share a calm, tender feeling with someone.

A refreshing coming-of-age song that fizzes like sparkling soda.

The lyrics liken the protagonist’s regret over his ex-girlfriend to bubbles that rise one after another, sung over a light, breezy sound.

The two had grown accustomed to a comfort as natural as air and avoided clashing with energetic honesty, which led to their breakup.

Yet the closing lines are appealingly positive, as he musters the courage to face her once more.

The catchy, poppy melody line—easy to sing for any gender—creates a fun, uplifting vibe.

Released in 2020 as sumika’s first digital-only single, “Zekkyō Serenade.” Written as the theme song for the film “Grand Blue,” it’s a summer tune that perfectly matches the movie’s world.

Packed with vivid summer scenes, it’s a song you’ll want to sing when you’re in the mood for summer.

The chorus invites audience call-and-response, making it a great pick for karaoke.

Overall, it’s on the lower side for sumika, so even male singers should be able to sing it smoothly in the original key.

A gentle ballad that begins with flowing piano.

It uses hedgehogs as a metaphor to express the delicate distance between people, vividly portraying the complexity of human relationships.

Not only between lovers, but in any relationship—friends, family, anyone—we sometimes hurt each other.

Through such experiences, we may also deepen our bonds and come to better understand one another.

This song, which sings about that aspect of humanity, is one you’ll want to sing with someone who can share an embracing love and a warm heart.

From a male perspective, sumika’s songs often have a high key and high-tone image, don’t they? For those who feel that high notes are a bit much, I recommend the song “enn.” Included on their fourth mini-album “Answer Parade,” released in 2016, this track is sung not by vocalist KATAOKA but by keyboardist and backing vocalist Takayuki Ogawa.

With “mother” as its theme, the song sits in a range that’s easy for anyone—regardless of gender—to sing, and its simple, unadorned feel draws listeners in.

It’s a perfect number for karaoke with family to express your everyday gratitude.

Among sumika’s songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “sara.” One of this track’s charms is its skillful key changes that appear in the chorus.

Another highlight is that it’s easy for both men and women to sing—particularly friendly for women who struggle with high notes.

It has a sparkling sense of speed and builds up to the final chorus in a truly emotional way.

Despite its gentle melodic line, the lyrics offer a striking contrast and are part of its appeal.

It’s also a great pick when you want to vent the haze in your heart.

Sumika has many exhilarating, feel-good songs.

“10-ji no Hōgaku” (“Ten O’Clock Direction”) is another track packed with the band’s signature charm.

Its lyrics carry a clear message, and the melody line—easy to sing for any gender—is especially appealing.

The words convey gratitude to a mother for raising the singer, and by delivering them with a positive spirit, the song communicates both joy and a profound message.

The vivid string tones enhance its refreshing feel.

The chorus stays in a slightly higher range, but try singing it with a burst of energy, as if sprinting straight through!
