Idol Warrior (feat. Hatsune Miku)Mitchie M
Mitchie M is a Vocaloid producer who also has a track record of composing for Taiko no Tatsujin.
He debuted as a Vocaloid producer in 2011 and has created numerous hit numbers since then.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Idol Warrior (feat.
Hatsune Miku).
It’s a collaboration with Gundam, and the track strongly reflects Gundam elements.
The vocal line is crafted to be straightforward, and the vocal range is set quite narrow for a Vocaloid track.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

ice creamamazarashi
A rock band that captures the loneliness lurking in everyday life and the emotions that defy words with literary lyrics, amazarashi.
The song they created sets its stage in the inorganic space of a station elevator, portraying a protagonist who escapes the suffocating reality and seeks a quiet emotional connection with someone.
The pain of feeling out of sync—between the everyday smiles beyond the ticket gates and the emptiness within—cuts deeply into the listener’s heart.
This work is compelling for its poetic worldview that makes you want to cherish those personal emotions—fleeting like something that could melt away, yet undeniably real.
Included on the mini-album “Love Song,” released in June 2012.
It’s the perfect track for a night when you’re worn out by the city’s clamor and want to sit alone in quiet contemplation.
In the blue springtonun
A perfect song for anyone who wants to be soothed by a sweet, smoky voice.
Released in March 2021, its mellow beat resonates comfortably with the cheerful vibes of spring.
Set to a characteristically J-pop, approachable melody, the lyrics tell of a faint budding romance born in the season of dancing cherry blossoms.
The relationship starts off awkward, with both putting on a front, but gradually deepens as their hearts connect—depicted with delicate nuance.
This track is an ideal pick for springtime BGM as new chapters begin, or as a stylish companion to a café moment.
AlphaNaniwa Danshi
“Alpha” features many bright yet somewhat ballad-like, mellow phrases.
It’s a song that evokes the feel of the Heisei-era idol style, and overall it’s tied together by catchy vocals.
The vocal range for this track is mid1E to hiC.
Since it sits within a typical range and the melodic movement is similar to that of standard J-pop, it can be considered quite easy to sing.
However, because the core of the song generally centers on mid-to-high notes, if you find it a bit high, it’s better to adjust the key based on the frequently occurring mid2C rather than the highest note.
