This is “Sekai ga Hitotsu ni Narumade,” which was used as the ending song for the long-beloved anime Nintama Rantarō.

It’s a very moving song, so why not sing it at the end of a recital or at a preschool graduation ceremony? Holding hands while singing would be a lovely touch, too.

A dark, hard-hitting Vocaloid track has arrived.

Crafted by buzzG, this piece was included on the April 2024 album “THE WALL.” Its mysterious finish comes from the irresistible contrast between a danceable beat and heartrending lyrics.

Singer-songwriter imase stands out for pop music that resonates with teens and people in their twenties, blending relatable lyrics with an R&B essence.

His songs are also known for featuring lots of high notes.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “Utau.” The entire chorus is sung in falsetto.

It has a light, airy delivery, so it’s really a song only for those who can easily hit high notes.

Considering that, it’s definitely a track that ranks at S level.
