Blow the night awayHata Motohiro
It’s a song by Motohiro Hata with a mature, sultry, moody chord progression and a bassline that feels great.
Though it’s a song about the night, it carries an exciting approach that urges you to burst into the world without going to sleep just yet—it even sounds like an invitation to try something a little mischievous.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on nights when you’re not ready to sleep and still haven’t had your fill of fun.
desire for leewayInabakumo
This Vocaloid song exquisitely blends a sense of floating and tension.
“Yoyuyoku” by Inabakumori, an artist known for numerous popular releases, was unveiled in October 2023 and quickly became a hot topic.
It uses Yamaha Corporation’s voicebank “nagiβ,” whose calm, placid tone—true to its name—leaves a strong impression.
It fits perfectly with the understated mood of the sound and melody.
The lyrics, which depict the gap between “having leeway” and “having none,” invite reflection on ways of living.
The more you listen closely, the deeper its flavor becomes.
Yo, you there, kid.Takeuchi Pisutoru
This is a song that became a hot topic after being featured in a commercial.
The powerful, rock-tinged vocals and lyrics that push you forward almost to an overbearing degree will give you courage whether you like it or not.
It has the vibe of a stubborn old man lecturing young people, making it a perfect track for anyone who wants a push from someone behind them.
City of DesireTakeuchi Riki
Riki Takeuchi started out as a very stylish and cool actor, but what happened to him? (lol) In The King of Minami, the role that made him a hit, the song he sings, “Yokubō no Machi” (City of Desire), was used as the theme song.
Besides that, under the name RIKI—based on the concept of being Riki Takeuchi’s younger brother—he released several singles.
Those songs also make you go, “What on earth happened?” (wry smile)
Yo, you there, kid.Takehara Pisutoru
A warm, encouraging song whose gentle acoustic guitar and powerful vocals resonate deeply.
Takahashi Pistol offers a track that gifts courage to live and celebrates the small happiness found in everyday life, especially for young people.
It conveys the message of finding your own path, not being swayed by others’ opinions, and striving in a way that is true to yourself.
Included on the album “youth,” it was released in November 2015.
Widely known as the theme song for a Sumitomo Life Insurance commercial, its sincere message has struck a chord with many.
It’s a song recommended for those about to step into a new environment or standing at a crossroads in life.
This work can be called a cherished piece that combines warmth that stays close to the heart with a powerful push from behind.
Crow of DawnTakeshima Hiroshi
Released in 2016 as a commemorative work for Hiroshi Takeshima’s 15th debut anniversary, “Yoake no Karasu” features lyrics by Kyosuke Kuni—Takeshima’s mentor and the person who helped launch his career—and composition by Kohei Sachi, who has created many masterpieces with Takeshima and in recent years released the “European Trilogy.” It’s a gently romantic kayōkyoku with Takeshima’s signature style on full display, so those accustomed to singing his songs should be able to perform it without issue.
Be mindful to articulate the lyrics clearly so your voice doesn’t get crushed in the lower register, and pour your feelings into the soaring chorus to bring out the song’s climax.
Dawn DreamTakeshima Hiroshi
Although Dawn’s Dream is positioned as the B-side to the 2015 single Melancholy Story, it’s a popular track with its own music video and the kind of classic that’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! It’s an up-tempo number with elements reminiscent of kayōkyoku and GS, and if you enjoy the “dance-inducing kayōkyoku” style that Takeshima later released, you’re certain to love this one.
The song structure has great dynamics, and the melody is very easy to remember and sing, so even if you’re not confident in your singing, try riding the rhythm and singing comfortably first.
