Tanabatanegoto
The song Tanabata is a striking track where elements of electronic rock and dream pop melt into Negoto’s signature dreamy soundscape.
Carried by the ethereal resonance of synthesizers, lyrics that weave together longing and anxiety about the future sink deeply into the heart.
The track is included on their first album, ex Negoto, released on July 13, 2011.
Its mysterious atmosphere, reminiscent of the Tanabata night sky, is perfect for summer night drives or the ride home from a fireworks festival.
It also has the feel of an anthem that gently encourages all those who dream.
TatakinaMi Zui
An energetic piece that stirs feelings of excitement and a spirit of challenge.
Mizui’s “Tatakina” captivates with its rhythmically complex structure full of irregular meters and lyrics that inspire listeners.
The track won an Honorable Mention in the “Taiko no Tatsujin Song Submission Don! 2024.” It transforms players’ emotional highs and lows into sound—being so absorbed you forget to blink, the tension of aiming for a high score, and the joy of clearing a stage.
Letting yourself be carried away by the song’s festive, bustling atmosphere is sure to fill you with energy.
Just because the wind blowsTakeuchi Yuko
Released in September 1998, this song was produced as the theme for the film “Innocent World.” Featuring Yuko Takeuchi’s clear, translucent vocals, it’s notable as the only track in which she took on the challenge of singing as an artist.
In the recording, she overcame her initial resistance to singing and delivered a performance that feels both delicate and powerful.
The lyrics, which evoke emotions swaying like the wind, offer courage to move forward even when facing life’s difficulties.
It’s a perfect song for moments when your heart is wavering or when you want to encourage someone.
Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z
B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.
While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.
Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.
If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.
It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Just, I want to see you — To my mother —natsuki youko
This is a gem of a ballad that richly expresses a deepening longing for a mother one cannot see.
The protagonist’s earnest, pure wish to simply “see you” is delivered straight to the listener’s heart through Yoko Natsuki’s gentle voice.
The lyrics weave together memories of childhood with the self of adulthood, creating a worldview that slowly seeps into the heart.
This work is a cover of a song released by Tsuyoshi Nishi in 2010, and it will be released as Yoko Natsuki’s single in July 2025.
Listen to it when you’re thinking of family or want to convey gratitude to your parents—it’s sure to kindle a warm light in your heart.
A Place in the SunV6
It’s a refreshing pop number whose intro—opening with Yoshihiko Inohara’s expansive vocals—sets your heart racing.
Released in July 1999 as V6’s 14th single and included on the classic album “Very best,” it also served as the theme song for the drama “Shin: Oretachi no Tabi Ver.1999,” starring Coming Century, vividly coloring the story.
Each member’s solo part seems to tell of their individual resolve, giving courage to listeners as well.
On a morning when you’re taking on a challenge, listening to this song will surely help you take that first step with a clear, uplifting feeling.
Just a Freezing Elegy ~ The Theme of FREEZERDēmon Kakka
A track where a massive orchestra and a steel-like high-tone voice fuse magnificently.
Originally included on the 2009 album “Dragon Ball Kai SONG COLLECTION,” it was used as an insert song during Frieza’s introduction scene in the anime Dragon Ball Kai.
Throughout the piece, it evokes the absolute terror brought by the Emperor of the Universe, as well as the unfathomable loneliness of one who stands at the top.
The lyrics paint a breathtaking world where all love and life are frozen, and only a cold elegy resounds.
Its solemn yet dark resonance perfectly captures the character’s ruthless, tyrannical charisma.
