Koto no Hatuki.

tuki. 'Kotonoha' Official Audio

Singer-songwriter tuki., who rose to fame with the smash hit Ban Sankka and draws attention for a mysterious presence that keeps her face hidden, has released the single Kotonoha on January 6, 2026, written as the theme song for the drama It’s Not a Mistake, He’s My Husband.

In a departure from her previous high-velocity image, this delicate mid-tempo track carefully depicts how words take time to take root in the heart.

Its message—acknowledging the fragility of language yet still wishing for the other person’s future—mirrors the emotional turbulence of the characters in the story.

With a clear, translucent sound reminiscent of the artwork by wataboku, the song will gently accompany anyone feeling uncertain about their relationship with someone important.

[Singing Impression] I tried doing a singing impression of tuki.'s “Bansanka (Banquet Song).”

Tuki., who also performed at the 2024 year-end Kouhaku Uta Gassen, is also famous for being a singer who doesn’t show her face.

In places where many people know she doesn’t show her face, it might go over even better.

Face away from the audience and sing like she does; it’s a complete bit until someone jokes, “Show us your face!” Of course, it’s also fun to skip the comedy and just sing well.

Her vocal tone has a slightly chesty, enclosed quality, so keep watching her performances and practice to match her style.

tuki. 'The Worst Community' Official Audio

It’s a song that sticks in your head because the same phrase repeats in the chorus.

The overall range is wide (F3 to C#5), but it’s mostly sung in the mid to low register, so the key is to keep your voice from getting heavy.

If your pitch drops, you’ll tend to sing from your throat, so be careful to avoid that! Before singing, try lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows to make a surprised expression—this helps you produce sound easily without straining your throat.

It also makes it easier to stay on pitch overall, so I highly recommend this face! For the low notes, project your voice toward a close distance, and for the high notes in the chorus, aim your voice farther away than yourself—this keeps your vocal cords vibrating consistently, so give it a try! Get everyone hyped during the chorus!

Doesn’t tuki.’s singing voice carry an indescribable sense of poignancy? This track has a relaxed tempo and runs under three minutes, so the melody might be easy to remember.

The lyrics convey a powerful message, so it’s a song I definitely want you to check out!
