The instrumental sound from the former band members feels fresh, and Hiro’s vocals convey a youthful energy in this track.
Take It slowMeteor
Meteor is a vocal group drawing attention from hardcore music enthusiasts as one of the most sophisticated acts in Japan’s R&B scene.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Take It slow.
It distills core R&B and soul techniques, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to build foundational vocal skills in Black music.

This is a track released in September 2024 by the violin rock band Morfonica, featured in the mobile game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! It’s included on the single Tempest/Wreath of Brave.
