An unfinished love song I've been working on foreverHata Motohiro

A gem of a ballad inspired by the film’s protagonist, who keeps writing love letters to his wife.

Hata Motohiro’s warm, gentle vocals beautifully express the unwavering love of a long-married couple.

Our feelings for a lifelong partner deepen day by day, and their presence brings new colors to life.

This moving work spins an inexhaustible form of love into a beautiful melody.

Written as the theme song for the film “Love Letter: Year 35,” released in February 2025, it was issued as a CD single in March of the same year.

Reflecting the film’s worldview in vivid detail, the song will surely offer a lovely time—both as a prompt to face someone dear to you and as a heartwarming companion to your moviegoing experience.

I want to shout that I love you.BAAD

[MAD] Slam Dunk × I Want to Shout 'I Love You' (with lyrics)
I want to shout that I love you.BAAD

BAAD is a rock band that started in 1992.

Their 1993 release “Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai” was used as the first opening theme for the anime SLAM DUNK, and it’s a huge hit with people around their thirties.

It’s a highly recognizable song that even people in their twenties and forties tend to know, which makes it great for getting everyone involved and fired up together.

The key is a bit on the high side, so a good tip is to adjust it to suit your range before you sing.

One Night CarnivalKishidan

“One Night Carnival” is a single by Kishidan.

It starts with spoken lines and is performed with para-para-style choreography—an upbeat, high-energy track that really gets you moving.

It’s also become a karaoke staple in Japan.

Because it’s often used as BGM on variety shows that play with yankii (delinquent) themes, even people who aren’t very interested in songs have probably heard it at least once.

As a vocal coach, I almost feel hesitant to say this, but it’s such a bright, lively, and fun song that worrying about singing technique feels silly—so if you can, go all in and copy the choreography too, and just enjoy it!

This is a track that embodies the heat of summer and the passion of youth.

It features an impressive, innovative sound that blends Shonan no Kaze’s signature reggae and hip-hop with Caribbean SOCA.

The lyrics convey the strength to overcome tears and move forward, as well as the joy of living freely, inspiring courage in listeners.

Released in June 2007, it was also used as the theme for the commercial of the film “Shonan no Kaze 3D LIVE Gundan Densetsu 2010.” It’s a perfect pick for getting the crowd going at karaoke or when you need a boost of energy.

La Palummellakururi

Quruli/Daniele Sepe – La Palummella
La Palummellakururi

Quruli is a band that has enjoyed long-lasting popularity thanks to its music brimming with originality.

With each step in their career, they’ve taken on songs that incorporate genres beyond rock, consistently releasing tracks unlike any other.

Their new song, La Palummella, is characterized by a decadent melody and a vocal line built around repetition.

While the pitch movement is gentle, the range is somewhat wide, so for those who feel uncertain about their vocal range, singing the high parts an octave lower is recommended.
