Popular VTuber Houshou Marine.

She’s known for her snappy, well-paced talk and a slightly airheaded side, but in her songs she delivers incredibly powerful vocals.

Among her works, one track I highly recommend as easy to sing is Ghost Ship Battle.

It’s a recently released new song with a somewhat metal-inspired arrangement.

Despite the metal feel, the vocals are restrained—just when the voltage seems to rise in the pre-chorus, the chorus surprisingly drops into the lower register.

The range isn’t particularly wide either, so any woman who can keep her pitch steady should be able to sing it without trouble.

You Are HereFuke Tetsu

Tetsu Tomie’s latest hit, “You Are Here,” hits you right in the chest with a beat that pulses to the rhythm of the dance floor.

Having launched his music career in 1989 and still thriving on the global stage, his sound is a driving force in Japan’s dance music scene.

This track, too, lets you fully experience that sense of unity in the club.

It blends a rhythm that makes you want to move no matter the moment, an addictive melody, and sound packed with his sensibility.

Music is meant to be heard, but this is a track that’s a visual treat as well!
