What are tuki.’s recommended songs? A deep dive into soul-stirring masterpieces

Marlborotuki.

Marlboro – Marlboro

This is tuki.’s one must-hear track, vividly portraying a bittersweet breakup scene where scent and memory intersect.

The song overlays the sense of loss when someone precious goes to another person—and the lingering attachment that won’t let go—onto concrete moments like the smell of cigarettes.

The quietly building vocals and spacious, restrained arrangement convey the sting of remembrance with striking realism.

Included on the album “15,” released in January 2025, it stands out purely on the strength of its storytelling, despite having no tie-ins with TV or film.

It’s a perfect number for nights when the lingering scent of a past love tightens your chest, or when you want to be alone with your thoughts.

Please give it a listen.

Zero -zero-tuki.

tuki. “Zero -zero-” Official Audio

Singer-songwriter tuki., whose mysterious allure has taken the music scene by storm.

Released for streaming in April 2026, the track “Zero” was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Snowball Earth.

While it conveys a chilled heart and a sense of stagnation, the dramatic arrangement surges in heat and momentum toward the chorus, leaving a strong impression.

Its worldview—depicting the strength to spark back to life from a frozen world—deeply resonates with the anime’s story.

It’s a powerful rock-pop tune, perfect for moments when you want to move forward despite inner turmoil.

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!

Seimei (Voice/Life)

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 A and B sections sit relatively low, but the chorus jumps up to a C5 and suddenly gets higher, and then the bridge also soars, building excitement—listening to it, it’s direct and really hits the heart.

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