Witch☆ActivityKMM Group
This work, produced by TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND, has delivered a fresh shock to the denpa song scene.
Its unique technopop sound is perfectly complemented by the distinctive voice actors of the KMM Brigade, creating an exquisite harmony.
The familiar catchy phrase “Pippiko Pippiko” and the highly addictive beat make it unforgettable.
Released in February 2014, it drew attention as the ending theme for the TV anime Witch Craft Works.
The coupling track, Saturday Night Witches, is also included, featuring a stylistic nod to mellow ’80s pop.
It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at anime fan karaoke—if everyone shouts “Pippiko” as a call-and-response while singing, the energy in the room will skyrocket.
I’m jealous.Kai
“Urayamishii,” released in 2024 as part of ESHIKARA—a project that creates Vocaloid songs from a single illustration—was written and composed by Kai, known for works like “Sayonara Princess.” The lyrics unfold with candid feelings directed toward those active as influencers.
The trap-infused rhythms and poppy synth tones lend an urban vibe.
The vocals by Hatsune Miku and KAF, who deliver a touch of bittersweet emotion in a cute way, also convey the song’s narrative.
With a four-on-the-floor beat that shifts in the chorus, this is a Vocaloid track that portrays the emotions of today’s youth.

Released on December 15, 2023, Keita Sano’s “When Love Comes Around” brings a fresh breeze to Japan’s club scene.
This house track, blending disco and soul essences, naturally heightens the urge to dance.
In particular, its rhythmic bassline and catchy melody feel great and are sure to brighten Japan’s nights.
With a raw, gritty texture intertwined at times with soft electronic tones, it captures the full joy of club music.
It’s perfect for nights when you want to dance and have fun—definitely give it a listen.
Peppermint candyKinKi Kids
This is KinKi Kids’ 18th single, released in August 2003.
The lyrics, written by Takashi Matsumoto, depict a scene of two people nestled together by the quiet night sea.
The melody has a refreshing, mint-like quality, and the lyrics—which capture the casual conversations of lovers and a profound sense of trust—leave a strong impression.
The song is included on albums such as “G album -24/7-” and “KinKi Single Selection II,” and has become an indispensable number at concerts and events.
It’s a heartwarming ballad perfect for autumn nights, inviting you to listen while reminiscing about memories with someone special.
WOWKing&Prince
The idol group King & Prince has continued to gain popularity even after becoming a two-member act.
Since shifting to a duo, their hip-hop elements have faded, and their songs have become more catchy.
Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is WOW.
While there are some falsetto parts, the overall vocal line is very gentle, with no complex pitch fluctuations.
It’s also well-received by women, so definitely aim for a perfect score with this song.
Water CarrierKroi
Kroi, a band drawing attention for their unique musical style, released the track “Water Carrier” on March 20, 2024, which has been selected as the opening theme for Akira Toriyama’s anime SAND LAND: THE SERIES.
From the crisp, synth-driven intro to the performance and vocal work steeped in influences from Black music, the song is packed with Kroi’s signature flair, pulling listeners deeper into its groove as it goes.
The lyrics, which seem to link with the anime’s worldview, are also compelling, making it a must-listen not only for Kroi fans but for fans of Akira Toriyama as well.
innocent feelingLET ME KNOW
LET ME KNOW is a band gaining popularity for their nostalgic, synth-pop-centered sound.
Their polished musicality has also been making waves in the Korean rock scene.
Among their songs, the one especially recommended for men with lower voices is Hatsu na feeling.
Although the vocalist, Matty, has a somewhat husky and slightly higher voice, this track has a relatively narrow vocal range, and its melody features long tones with few abrupt pitch jumps.
As a result, it’s arranged in a way that’s easy to sing even for men with lower voices.
