Released as a digital single in May 2020 and included on the album “strobo,” this song is widely known as one of Vaundy’s signature tracks.

It steadily gained popularity and topped the karaoke rankings in 2023.

It was also featured in a Maruha Nichiro commercial.

The lyrics, which sing about precious time with close friends and memories you never want to lose, take you back to your youthful days.

The powerful vocals over a fast-paced band sound make it perfect for everyone to sing together.

It’s an emotional rock number that’s highly recommended when you want to get fired up with friends.

Shut up.Ado

[Ado] Shut Up

A song I highly recommend for anyone feeling stressed by daily busyness or relationships.

It’s Ado’s landmark work that marked her major-label debut in October 2020, with lyrics and composition by Vocaloid producer syudou.

The lyrics, which vent frustration toward society and conformity and blurt out the words you couldn’t say back, resonated with the feelings of younger generations trapped by the pandemic’s sense of stagnation and became an explosive hit.

In March 2021, the music video surpassed 100 million views, making headlines as a record-breaking achievement by the youngest solo artist to do so.

When you want to blow off everyday frustration, it’s a fierce rock tune that feels exhilarating to belt out at karaoke like a scream.

Bedhead: 'Orihime and BABY feat. Reira Shio' Official Music Video

This is Neguse’s first duet, a bittersweet song that overlays the Tanabata tale of Orihime and Hikoboshi onto modern romance.

With a range of G#3 to D#5, it’s an easy key for a male-female duet, and it’s also great for two women to trade lines—highly recommended! It’s a heart-fluttering song to sing with someone you like.

In Reira Shio’s female part, the low notes are key.

Lower tones tend to get stuck in the throat and sound muffled, so make sure to let them resonate.

Try raising your eyebrows, take more air than you think you need, and sing as if you’re releasing the voice slowly right in front of your eyebrows.

That way, the resonance shifts from the throat to the head, making it easier to hear yourself and sing comfortably.

In general, when you sing, it helps to focus less on “producing sound” and more on “resonating through the body,” so keep that in mind!
