Tasty Beating SoundDa‑iCE
Da-iCE is a dance and vocal group known for their many challenging songs.
“Tasty Beating Sound,” released in September 2025, ranks among the most difficult of their recent tracks.
Its vocal range spans from mid1D to hiC.
It’s not just high; the lower notes go fairly deep as well, making key selection tricky, and the melody features sharp rises and falls.
The one saving grace is that, fitting its comical tone, the song uses fewer long sustained notes.
Despite its playful vibe, it’s an exceptionally difficult piece—definitely worth a challenge.
Reach to the heavensMatsutōya Yumi
This piece was written by Yumi Matsutoya, one of Japan’s most iconic singer-songwriters, as the theme song for the drama “When I Was Little, There Was a God,” which began airing in October 2025.
Its nostalgic melody, the harmony that layers her past vocals—recreated with AI technology—with her present voice, and its grand soundscape resonate deeply.
It carries a curious, floating sensation, as if traveling through multiple dimensions.
A gentle autumn song that links the past and the present.
A miracle given by an angelLibera
Libera, whose clear, translucent boys’ voices gently resonate in the heart, is a boys’ choir based in London, England.
With a unique style that fuses classical and contemporary music, they have captivated audiences around the world.
This piece, included on their 2015 mini-album “Miracle Given by Angels,” was created in collaboration with composer Takatsugu Muramatsu for Universal Studios Japan’s Christmas show.
Sung in English and Latin, the lyrics carry sacred messages of angelic voices and prayers for peace.
The rich resonance of the orchestra blends with the choir’s transparency, letting you experience a miraculous moment as if angels had descended.
It’s a heartwarming song, perfect for savoring the Christmas spirit at a relaxed pace with friends and family.
Christmas Where Angels SingShinzawa Toshihiko
On Christmas night, if you listen closely, you can hear angels singing…
This is a Christmas song that paints a quiet and mystical scene.
Lyrics and music are by Toshihiko Shinzawa, and it is performed by Satoko Yamano, who was active as the “singing sister” on NHK Educational TV’s Yukai na Concert.
It was included in the album “Christmas SONGS” released in September 2015 and produced as a sheet music book with CD for preschools and kindergartens.
It’s perfect for gently singing together as a parent and child while savoring the quiet feeling of Christmas night! It’s also recommended to incorporate puppet staging for Christmas party performances.
Enjoy the special atmosphere of this holy night together with your child.

Empathy and gentle companionship are conveyed through suis’s clear, transparent vocals, warming the listener from within.
It’s a perfect track for a Christmas night spent with someone special, or for quiet moments of introspection.

LetterUru
Uru is a female singer-songwriter known for her ballads.
Many women have probably been moved by her emotional lyrics and vocals.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Tegami (Letter).
The melody feels like a classic J-pop ballad, featuring many familiar phrases.
However, the vocal range spans from mid1 F to hi D#, which is quite low at the bottom and fairly high at the top.
The pitch movement is also very dramatic, making it difficult to sing well on the first try.
Fortunately, it’s a slow-tempo piece, so once you get the hang of it, you should be able to improve quickly.
love without responseDEEN
Released in November 1998, this is DEEN’s 16th single, also known as an advance single from the acclaimed album “The DAY.” It was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Kinniku Banzuke,” and as DEEN’s first release after changing labels, it’s a particularly significant work for the band.
Knowing it’s a love that can’t go anywhere, the protagonist is torn between guilt over throwing the other person into confusion just by existing and the feelings that keep growing stronger nonetheless.
Set to a wistful melody, Shuichi Ikemori’s vocals pour out a sense of helplessness that strikes the heart, making this a number with a strong rock flavor.
