Make my heart raceNagayama Miho

For men in their 50s, wouldn’t it be fair to say that Miho Nakayama is an exceptionally catchy idol? Back then, even in her teens, many people were captivated by her vocals and looks, which exuded remarkable allure.

Among Miho Nakayama’s songs, the one I especially recommend for getting the crowd going and being easy to sing is “WAKU WAKU Sasete.” Blending synth-pop with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop), it’s composed with a fairly narrow vocal range of mid2 A# to hi C#.

The vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it overall quite an easy song to sing.

However, since the tempo is fairly fast at BPM 136, it’s important to get a solid feel for the tempo in advance.

A love song by Joji Yamamoto that resonates deep in the heart.

Released in July 2025 as the second single commemorating his 50th anniversary, this work is a cover of a renowned song by Masato Sugimoto.

It is said to be the first time in 43 years that Yamamoto has sung a Sugimoto piece.

It portrays the deep, gentle love of a man who feels gratitude toward the partner who has walked a long road by his side, while contemplating the day when they must inevitably part.

Within its restrained words, you can sense emotions too profound to be fully expressed.

When you want to reaffirm the bond with someone precious, the sincerity of this song’s vocals is sure to be a comforting presence.

With Yasutaka Nakata brought in for the arrangement, it’s an ambitious work that likely surprised many with its sound that feels both nostalgic and new.

Seiko’s crystal-clear vocals blend with sparkling electronic tones, guiding us toward a future brimming with boundless possibilities.

The double A-side single containing this song was released in October 2015, and the other track was used as a JR East campaign song.

With a mood where past and future intersect, this piece is sure to become the perfect anthem for moments when you want to meet a new version of yourself.

My DawnSHISHAMO

Sung by SHISHAMO, this song gently stays by the side of hearts that feel on the verge of being crushed by the harshness of society and the weight of loneliness.

Knowing that living means getting hurt, we can’t help but see our own experiences in the image of someone desperately struggling in the darkness just before dawn.

This track is the lead song from the acclaimed album “SHISHAMO 5,” released in June 2018, and the album reached No.

3 on the Oricon charts.

If you listen to it on a night when you’re overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness, it might just give you the courage to believe that “dawn will surely come” and take a step toward tomorrow.

ONE DAY IN AVENUESuchmos

This is a work by Suchmos—known for their sophisticated tracks—that shines with introspective charm.

Its laid-back sound gently envelops a heart a little worn out by the hustle of the city and the daily routine.

Close your eyes, and you can almost see the protagonist wandering along the undulating road of life, trying not to lose themselves.

The track was included on the mini-album “THE ASHTRAY,” released in June 2018.

It’s a song that will keep you company during solitary moments gazing at the night view or on quiet nights when you want time to think.

This is the theme song for the Sunday drama airing in the April 2025 season, “Dame Mane! – Managing a Hopeless Talent –.” As with most dramas, the timing when the theme song kicks in near the end is just perfect, and since this song has no intro, I was moved every time by vocalist Mayu Tanikinu’s gentle voice.

As you listen, the unison one octave below in the chorus really stands out.

This serves as an important foundation in the low end! The way the chorus comes in after the C section with call-and-response is also lovely, so I’d love to line up the timing and sing that part too.

Basically, the harmony is sung one octave below, so it might be too low for some women, but be careful not to strain your throat.
