This work is a delightful Russian folk song, evoking scenes of racing across a silver world and a melody where you can almost hear the jingle-jangle of bells.
In Japan, it has been warmly embraced for its cheerful content since around 1952, but locally its existence has been confirmed since around 1901, making it a song with a long history.
Since it was broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in December 1961, it has been included in music textbooks and has continued to be loved across generations.
Its sense of speed makes it perfect for ringing bells and playing in ensemble with children, or singing indoors while imagining a sleigh ride! Why not hum this classic that will warm you up even on cold days together as a parent and child?

tonightNEW!Hirai Dai
Among Hirai Dai’s songs, the especially easy-to-sing and highly recommended one is “tonight.” It’s a love song with poignant lyrics and a sweet vocal tone, and it drew attention after being used on the reality show Terrace House: Aloha State! It’s a ballad with a relaxed tempo, and the overall range is C3–A4, which sits in a range that lets you sing as if speaking softly.
There are parts in the chorus sung gently in falsetto and some humming, so a sense of relaxation is crucial.
You’ll use more breath than you think, so instead of inhaling through your nose, breathe in through your mouth and release all of it in a thin stream together with your voice.
Imagining the sound resonating in your forehead or the top of your head should make it easier to produce!
Tongari ’95NEW!supittsu
You’ll be surprised by their rock side, exploding with distorted guitar sounds! It’s a fast-paced punk number that overturns the gentle image many people have of them.
Included on the classic album “Honey” released in September 1995, it didn’t have any prominent tie-ins, but the song so embodied the band’s spirit that its title was used for the tour right after the album’s release.
Vocalist Masamune Kusano has even called it “the band’s theme song,” and it captures the essence of their blend of cuteness and bite.
It’s perfect when you want to blow away a frustrated mood or feel a beefy rock sound in your bones.
A staple that always fires up the crowd live, it’s a must-hear masterpiece even for non-fans.

TokimekiNEW!Vaundy
Vaundy’s masterpiece “Tokimeki” is distinguished by its exhilarating, pop-infused sound.
