Liar MacaronBōin Bōshoku P
This is a Kasane Teto song where sweetness and madness intertwine! It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Boin Boushoku-P, released in January 2026.
The piece portrays the precarious side of love, where the desire to “match the tastes of the person you like” ends up painting over your true self.
Its somewhat ennui-tinged electronic sound perfectly matches the mood of the lyrics.
Give it a listen when you’re struggling with love or feel like you’re being crushed by a need for approval.
We’ll go togetherSnow Man
Snow Man is an idol group that delivers entertainment on multiple fronts, including dance and stage performances incorporating acrobatics.
This song is included on the single “LOVE TRIGGER / We’ll go together,” released in February 2024 as the theme for the drama “Sensei Sayonara,” which marks member Shota Watanabe’s first solo starring role.
With upbeat lyrics about moving toward the future despite inner conflict and a bright sound, it perfectly suits the crisp winter air.
It’s a pop medium-tempo tune that celebrates the joy of walking together with loved ones and friends, and just listening to it will warm your heart.
Later chosen as a collaboration song for the “2024 Sapporo White Illumination,” it has also become a beloved winter staple.
Be sure to give it a listen as background music to brighten winter moments spent with someone special!

UwabamiAme Ryou
You can’t help but be drawn into its dark, Japanese-inspired world centered on the motif of a great serpent.
Released in August 2025, this piece is a collaboration with the AI singing voice synthesis software ACE Studio, featuring the Japanese voice library Hiiragi Yuki as the vocalist.
Stylish electronic sounds intertwine with the tones of traditional Japanese instruments, creating a uniquely addictive track.
It’s perfect for nights when you’re craving something stimulating.
Beautiful DaysHirai Dai
This is a cheer song from Dai Hirai, released on March 14, 2025, for people setting off on journeys or embarking on new chapters in life! The overall vocal range is B2–G#4.
The chorus might be a bit high, but the rest sits in a comfortable range and seems easy to sing.
If you can hit high notes in chest voice, it might actually work well to belt a bit in the chorus! Each phrase feels like it steps up a level, so if you finish one phrase and sing the next one bigger, repeating that approach should help the song build more and more.
Sing with conviction and let your voice carry!
Woo Babyyoshida takurou
One of Takuro’s early signature songs, it straightforwardly sings of his love for his wife, expressing his own feelings while also acknowledging contemporary critiques of singing love songs.
The overall rock vibe is great, too! It’s not a mellow tune, so it’s highly recommended for those who want a change of pace or to have fun at karaoke.
Rather than belting it out, easing up and singing coolly will likely make it really stylish.
Also, since it has a bouncy rhythm, try lightly moving your body as you sing! Enjoy that urban feel while you perform!
WISH (Japanese Ver.)NCT WISH
If you want to aim for a high score with a refreshing-style song, WISH (Japanese Ver.) is recommended! In K-pop, especially in male groups, there’s always a member assigned to the “high notes.” If you’re not good at high notes, you’ll need to get past this part.
Since belting high notes in chest voice is harder than using falsetto, here are a few tips.
For those piercing high notes, lift your facial muscles firmly and project your voice decisively toward the distance or your chest! If you hesitate, your timing will be off and you won’t hit the note well.
When you feel “This is it!” go for it with momentum!
