The A-side track from Arashi’s single “truth/Kaze no Mukō e,” notable for its dark, mysterious atmosphere.

Released in August 2008, the song was used as the theme for the TBS drama Maō, starring Satoshi Ohno.

Its tense melody and string-heavy arrangement brilliantly capture the drama’s themes of revenge and sorrow.

It topped the Oricon year-end chart, marking Arashi’s first-ever year-end No.

1—a remarkable achievement.

It’s the perfect song to sink into after watching a suspense drama or film.

Alter -“Trap over scrap” Official Music Video
Trap over scrapAlter

Formed in Akita in 2008, this loud rock band champions a “true-to-form screamo” built around emotional melodies and screams.

Their hallmark sound fuses the raw intensity of hardcore with tear-jerking melodies that slowly resonate in the heart.

In 2016, they released their first nationally distributed mini-album, Transition.

They have deep hometown pride: in addition to performing at OGA NAMAHAGE ROCK FES in 2013, their music videos showcase Akita’s beautiful scenery, conveying their passion for uplifting the region.

If you loved 2000s-era screamo, their music will hit home.

A band that started in November 2015, delivering their sound from Akita City to the whole country.

While rooted in easycore and pop-punk with a female vocalist at the front, their hybrid style also incorporates piano and EDM elements, which is seriously cool.

In September 2018, they released their first nationally distributed mini-album, “AM.” In July 2017, they were selected as the opening act for the OGA NAMAHAGE ROCK FESTIVAL.

Their appeal lies in a style that blends intense metalcore-like breakdowns with irresistibly sing-along pop melodies, and a clear, transparent singing voice that blooms like a single flower amid their loud sound.

The digital release date is July 7, 2025, but it was pre-released on TikTok in March and quickly became a hot topic, surpassing one million views! The tempo isn’t too slow or too fast, making it very easy to sing and approachable for anyone.

The vocal range is around mid1 to mid2, and the high notes that appear in parts are in falsetto, so I think you can sing them comfortably.

Overall, it has a calm tone, but it modulates in the last chorus, raising the key by about two steps.

You might find it easier to stay on pitch if you sing that section with a bit more energy.

One thing to watch out for is not to pull the notes up with your throat.

Since we want a natural modulation, try singing by resonating in your head while placing a slight forward attack on the sound.

That way, the high notes will come out smoothly and feel great!

WANIMA “Flying Fish” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
flying fishWANIMA

This song was released on August 13, 2025.

Since it’s mostly composed in the low-mid to high-mid range, I think it’s relatively easy to sing in terms of vocal range.

There’s a C5 in the first and last chorus, and it feels great if you ride the melody and push it out with momentum there.

It has WANIMA’s signature rock vibe with a distinctive rhythm, so let’s lock in a few key points.

The song actually starts from the chorus, and it kicks off on the offbeat.

It’s fine to place the accent on the first beat, so make sure to line up firmly there.

The A section has rap elements, so rhythm matters more than pitch.

Try using your hands like you’re shaking maracas and keep time at double speed.

It’s a short track at about three minutes, but it sounds really cool if you can nail it—definitely give it a try at karaoke!

Fumie Akiyoshi’s lively vocals make this a pop tune that hints at the start of an adventure.

Its powerful message—that you can overcome any hardship as long as you’re with your friends—comes through clearly.

Fans will also love the clever touch of weaving familiar game moves and item names into the lyrics.

Released in November 2006, this song served as the opening theme for the anime Pokémon Diamond & Pearl and was beloved by fans for an impressive 94 episodes.

Its sound lifts your spirits and gives a push to anyone about to take on a new challenge.

It’s the kind of energetic track you’ll want to hear when setting off on a journey or when you want to feel the bonds with your friends.

CHO CO PA CO CHO CO QUIN QUIN is a name you won’t forget once you hear it.

Their charm lies in a sound they call “four-and-a-half-mat Tropicalia,” built on electronica and blending folk music with electronic elements.

After ramping up activities in 2021, they drew attention via social media.

In 2024, their song Watatsumi was featured in a JR East commercial, and Tradition was used in a Glico Pocky ad.

They were also selected for Spotify’s RADAR: Early Noise 2024 and have been in high demand at major festivals, including Fuji Rock.

It’s also intriguing that member Yuta is the grandson of Haruomi Hosono.

If you’re seeking a genreless, fresh musical experience, definitely give them a listen!
