Dear you, somedayKankaku Pierrot
It was the theme song for the drama “Yutori Desu ga Nani ka,” wasn’t it? It’s a song I’d love to have a boy sing.
Just when you think they’re messing around, there are times when they sing something serious, too.
When they get serious, their true talent really shows, and it’s wonderful.
The vocalist’s powerful, energetic voice is definitely something I can wholeheartedly recommend.
SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
If you don’t know ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “Rewrite,” please give it a listen.
It’s an old song, but it’s a rock number that doesn’t feel dated.
And this song “Soranin” is the theme song for the movie of the same name.
The lyrics were written by the creator of the manga Soranin and Goodnight Punpun.
For now, just listen to these two tracks!
HANABIMr.Children
I’m sure even teenagers know them—Mr.
Children, right? If you can at least sing “HANABI,” I think it’ll help you appeal to girls.
It seems “HANABI” is being used again as the theme song for the film Code Blue: The Movie (Doctor Heli Emergency Lifesaving).
UN-APEXTK
TK captivates listeners with an inventive sound rooted in post-hardcore and progressive rock.
He formed Ling tosite sigure in 2002 and is a highly skilled artist who handles everything from songwriting and composition to engineering.
He launched his solo career in 2011, debuting with the album “flowering.” With intricate guitar melodies and a delicate vocal delivery, he has crafted a one-of-a-kind sound world that balances intensity and beauty.
In 2010, Ling tosite sigure’s album “still a Sigure virgin?” reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
He has also produced numerous songs for anime tie-ins, showcasing his undeniable talent.
His music, woven with a distinctive vocal timbre and expressive power, is highly recommended for those who want to be moved by emotional soundscapes.
In that caseHattori
Centering on pop and rock, as the vocalist and guitarist of Macaroni Enpitsu, Hattori captivates many listeners with his delicately expressive singing.
Formed in 2012 by members who graduated from music college, the band is based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, and actively performs live.
They made their debut with the 2015 mini-album “Al Dente,” and gained major attention in 2020 with an appearance on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE.
In December 2021, they won the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist.
With literary lyrics and a warm vocal tone, they create songs that capture the small moments of everyday life.
They’re a perfect fit for listeners seeking a gentle, comforting voice and emotionally resonant expression.
NHK isn’t actually that bad.Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
You can’t skip the music videos when listening to their songs.
I really like their high energy.
The girl’s voice is super cute too, so how about trying to sing their songs at karaoke with a girl you like? I think it’ll be a blast.
