farewellSen Masao
Masao Sen is known for his wide range of vocal expression.
While his rugged, earthy phrasing is particularly striking, he also has songs that primarily feature a gentle, enveloping style of singing.
Among these, the one I especially recommend is “Wakare.” Rather than enka, its melody feels more like a mid-Showa-era kayōkyoku, with very little kobushi ornamentation.
Instead, the range is somewhat wide and there are many long tones, so it’s important to carefully determine the appropriate key to avoid running out of stamina midway.
WORK HARDchanmina
Chanmina’s energetic anthem, where soul-stirring vocals ride a powerful, fast-paced track, stirs the hearts of all who listen.
Centered on the themes of “working” and “persevering,” it conveys the strength to overcome trials, and the chorus’s repeated phrases carry a force that lifts listeners even higher.
Released in April 2025, the song was written specifically as the theme for the anime “BULLET/BULLET.” After numerous discussions with the director, they deeply infused the song with the work’s worldview.
When stress piles up from work or studies, belting this song out at karaoke will leave you refreshed—sure to fuel you for tomorrow.
Nagisasupittsu
With a melody that’s refreshing yet tinged with melancholy, it vividly paints scenes of summer.
This work by the popular band Spitz was released in September 1996 as their 17th single, and it’s also included on the acclaimed album Indigo Chiheisen.
It’s well known for being used as the CM song for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Love Story.” Looking closely at the lyrics, you realize they go beyond mere reminiscence, delicately weaving in themes such as reality and illusion, or even life and death.
It’s the kind of song that gently accompanies those slightly sentimental moods of a summer evening.
My castle townKoyanagi Rumiko
It’s the debut song of Rumiko Koyanagi, often described as “Wakon Yōsai,” where the refinement of Western music is blended with Japanese sentiment.
She sings tenderly of scenes that bring back memories—an old castle town at dusk, the nostalgic view through lattice doors, and a faint, hidden love stirring in the heart.
Released in April 1971, the song won the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist and found widespread affection in step with the national railway’s “Discover Japan” campaign.
It is also included on the album “My Twelve Songs – A Collection of Japanese Lyric Songs.” It’s the perfect piece for those moments when you want to drift back to days gone by and savor a song at an unhurried pace.
Its gentle melody is sure to be comfortable to sing.
WORTH NOTHING (ft. Oliver Tree)TWISTED
Twisted’s masterpiece “WORTH NOTHING (ft.
Oliver Tree)” is a remix of Oliver Tree’s hit “Miss You.” Compared to the original, it has a smoother feel, and its flowing melody seems to be gaining popularity on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
On YouTube, it’s often used in videos showcasing impressive craftsmanship.
The arrangement is excellent, so even if you know the original, be sure to check this one out.
desperate last-ditch effortMeshia to hitobito
As a two-piece band from Kyoto, this lineup is defined by the overwhelming presence of Natsuko Fukuda, who sings while playing the drums.
Formed at Ritsumeikan University in 2010, they became the current two-piece in August 2012.
In 2016, they released their first nationally distributed work, the mini-album “The Last Desperate Struggle,” and in 2022 they independently put out their first full-length album, “BOMB.” Their unique sound—described as “Hannari Sumo Dream Noise Pop,” driven by roaring guitar and powerful drums—is a major draw, and in 2024 they even embarked on an Australia tour.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience an energetic live performance that you wouldn’t believe comes from just two members!
