The vocal work is distinctive as well, layering poetry reading, singing, and voice libraries multiple times.

The Girl Who Leapt Through TimeHarada Tomoyo
Tomoyo Harada, who has also been highly active as an actress, has done wonderful work as an artist and has produced numerous classic songs.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
With lyrics and composition by Yumi Matsutoya, it features a gentle melody and vocal line throughout.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, so even those who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it comfortably by adjusting the key.

Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni.? No, the band Zukkadareru—highly regarded among hardcore Japanese rock enthusiasts.
Rather than chasing sales with trend-driven tracks, they stick to the music they truly want to make, which has earned them enduring popularity among rock fans.
Among their songs, one that’s especially celebrated as a masterpiece is Tomodachi no Uta (A Friend’s Song).
While the piece is captivating for its emotionally rich vocals, the surprising thing is that the vocal line itself has a narrow range and rarely jumps abruptly in pitch.
It also works perfectly well with a bold, forceful singing style that’s the complete opposite of delicacy, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
