Songs with titles starting with 'Yu' (111–120)

Yume YumeONE OK ROCK

I think ONE OK ROCK is the band that every guy dreams of.

I’m always thinking, “If I’m going to do a band, I want to do ONE OK ROCK!” but the reality is it’s hard to find someone who can sing their keys…

That said, this time with “Yume Yume,” the vocal range is E3–C5, and there aren’t a lot of repeated high notes, so I think more people will be able to sing it.

However, it has more rap parts than singing… You might struggle with the rap sections when learning it! Try changing the playback speed on YouTube and practice by following the lyrics slowly.

If you can sing it, it should go over really well at karaoke, so it’s nice to have at least one ONE OK ROCK song in your repertoire!

U R not aloneGReeeeN

Originally written for the male idol group NEWS and later self-covered, this is a moving number.

The lyrics, like a letter to one’s past self, are striking, and many listeners may find courage in the protagonist who keeps pursuing a dream that others once mocked.

You can hear GReeeeN’s version on the album “UreD,” released in April 2018.

When you feel lonely on the path toward your goal or start to doubt your choices, this song will surely become a source of support.

It’s a gem of a cheer song that teaches the importance of believing in yourself to the very end.
