There’s also a memorable anecdote from the recording sessions: Ikuta was instructed to sing as if she were a witch.

TreasureNEW!ClariS
This song brightly and poppily portrays the sparkle of everyday life and the irreplaceable moments spent with loved ones.
Its gentle ensemble, woven from clear layered vocals, lifts the listener’s spirits with lightness.
Widely known for their anime songs, ClariS released this single in March 2026.
It was selected as an installed track for the pachinko/pachislot title Lycoris Recoil.
While staying close to the world of the work, it’s a cute number that radiates a universal warmth.
It’s the perfect song to sincerely say thank you to someone you’re always laughing with! An ideal track for deepening bonds as you get hyped together with your cherished teammates and friends.
A world where the sun does not riseAimer
Aimer is a captivating singer with a unique voice that feels soft yet carries a powerful undercurrent.
The track, featuring majestic, string-forward orchestration and expressing the urgency of battle and unwavering resolve, is a number that truly resonates.
Chosen as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc Part 1: Akaza’s Return, it was released in July 2025 as her 26th single.
This work compacts parts spanning from low to high registers into a single song, allowing women with lower voices to fully showcase their appeal.
Mastering the use of falsetto in the chorus and singing with the same core and steadiness as Aimer will make you sound incredibly cool.
Nail it at karaoke, and you’re sure to turn heads.
Tanaage OndoOotake Shinobu
This work, with lyrics by playwright Kohei Tsuka, humorously—and with a slight bite—depicts everyday exchanges between parent and child.
The song portrays the mismatch between the parent’s and child’s viewpoints on table manners and picky eating, prompting an involuntary wry smile.
Shinobu Otake’s richly expressive vocals vividly bring the song’s world to life, like a short play.
Released as a single in 1988, it was used on the show “Hirake! Ponkikki.”
BirthOzaki Yutaka
Blending elements of rock, jazz, fusion, and city pop, the song carries an uplifting message inspired by the birth of the artist’s first child, while also interweaving themes like the struggles of one’s twenties, personal aggression, and life and death.
At 9 minutes and 55 seconds, it’s quite long, yet it feels like a rock number that never drags.
Around the five-minute mark, the melody briefly shifts in mood, then introduces some ad-libbing and builds toward the ending.
The very last melody has a spoken-word quality, making it a track where you can enjoy a wealth of musical ideas in a single piece.
The key to singing it well is not to go all-out from the very beginning!
Turn to YouFANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE
This is a heartbreakingly tight-chested love song that resonates with the world of a drama portraying the bittersweet feelings of two people constantly missing each other.
Precisely because they’re in love, they can’t speak their true feelings; afraid of getting hurt, they can’t take the next step… That frustrating state of mind is expressed through a delicate vocal performance.
The more you listen, the more you empathize, and it quietly pierces the heart.
This track is included as a B-side on the single “Santa Monica Lollipop,” released in March 2022.
It drew attention when it was chosen as the ending theme for the drama “liar,” starring group member Taiki Sato.
The lyrics by Kayoko Kusano, written from the perspective of the characters, are truly wonderful as well.
A fleeting yet beautiful ballad you’ll want to hear on a quiet night.
When you’re carrying feelings you can’t put into words, please give it a listen.

dandelionwarabeuta asobi
If you spot fluffy dandelion seeds floating on the spring breeze, here’s a traditional children’s song-and-game you’ll want to enjoy together as a parent and child! Its charm lies in how simply it expresses sending the fluffy seeds far away through rhythm and movement.
You can pretend to blow with a long “fuu,” flutter your hands and become the drifting seeds yourself, using your whole body to play.
This folk song has long been loved in places like Gunma Prefecture, and it continues to be cherished today—introduced in a video in April 2022 as part of efforts to connect nursery school play with activities at home.
With scarves or fabric, you can create a magical, floating-seed atmosphere even indoors! Try it not only when you find real dandelion seeds at the park, but also as a cozy, hands-on activity at home.
