Tsugaru Strait – Winter SceneNEW!Ishikawa Sayuri
Sayuri Ishikawa’s signature song “Tsugaru Strait—Winter Scene,” released on January 1, 1977, is a masterpiece that portrays parting and resolve set against the northern strait, and it marked her turning point into a full-fledged enka singer.
The intro is also very striking—so famous you can hum it right from the start.

Saki Misaka’s free, soaring vocals go straight to the heart! This track, included on the EP “Every day, Every night” released in December 2019, was chosen as the support song for the 98th National High School Soccer Championship and became a major talking point.
The lyrics, which portray genuine emotions about the long days spent with teammates and the mutual support that helped them overcome hardships, were written by Misaka herself after on-site interviews.
It powerfully pushes students who are earnestly striving toward their dreams.
A fiery, emotional pop number that perfectly fits sports scenes.
Highly recommended as an entrance tune for high-energy competitions or as BGM when a class wants to unite as one!
From our joined handsNEW!back number
“Tsunai da Te kara,” the single back number released in March 2014, is a song that delicately portrays the quiet ache and regret that arrive after a relationship ends.
Chosen as the JTB Premium commercial song and the ending theme for a Cultural Broadcasting program, it reached many listeners.
Koichi Tsutaya co-arranged and produced the track, achieving a superb fusion of the band’s raw, lifelike sound with pop accessibility.
The lyrics calmly unravel the weakness of searching for excuses after love is over, resonating deeply with listeners.
This work carries a gentle warmth, as if softly staying by your side while you linger in the afterglow of heartbreak yet begin to face forward step by step.
It’s recommended for those who want to accept the sadness that lingers in their heart and feel ready to take a new first step.
TsubasaNEW!andāgurafu
Undergraf is a band that burst onto the scene like a comet during the 2000s Japanese rock boom.
Their signature is rock infused with a slightly kayōkyoku-like, traditional Japanese flavor, and Tsubasa stands out as one of their most popular songs.
The piece exudes a decadent atmosphere, with the vocal line kept in a minor key throughout.
The vocal range is essentially mid1 F to mid2 G—quite a narrow span that almost any male singer can handle—but there’s a single hi A that appears in the final chorus, so be sure not to miss the pitch there.
Do that, and you should be able to go for a 90 without much trouble.
Tsundere feat. Second BackerNEW!naenano
Influencer Naenano, who is active across social media and modeling and draws attention for her multifaceted talents.
Released for streaming in March 2026, this work is a pop-rock tune featuring the two-piece band Second Bucker as a guest.
It portrays an awkward love that, unable to be honest, reflexively creates distance—something that anyone who has felt the frustrations of romance may find themselves relating to.
It’s a number we especially hope those who want to convey their true feelings to someone they like but can’t quite find the courage will listen to.
TSUKINEW!Amuro Namie
It’s a ballad with enveloping, memorable vocals, written as the theme song for the film “I Just Wanna Hug You: A True Story.” The music video was shot in Iceland, and its theme is “the revival of life,” transitioning from snowy landscapes to grasslands.
The song’s overall range is E3–B4, using both low and high registers, so it’s important to prevent the pitch from dropping.
The tempo itself is relaxed, so take solid breaths and project your voice forward as if using your breath.
For the low notes, stabilizing by pushing the voice straight out in front of you works well.
My clumsy love, only for youAraki Kazuhito
It’s a love song that expresses the desire to always be together and a straightforward, sincere affection.
The warm line promising “I’ll always be there for you” is soothing, and the lyrics grip your heart right from the start.
This piece was released in March 2024 by Kazuhito Araki, a singer-songwriter from Kyoto Prefecture.
Unspoken feelings and inner emotions are conveyed in abundance, capturing the listener’s heart.
Overflowing with gratitude for the miracle of meeting that one special person, it’s a song lovers will want to hear!
