I will come to like myself.Nogizaka46
Released in January 2021, this is a song that gently stands beside a struggle anyone might face: not being able to love oneself.
While portraying the pain born from self-loathing and comparison with others, it ultimately moves the heart with a journey toward accepting oneself as is.
The sweeping strings and piano interplay underscore the earnestness of its message.
In its first week, it sold approximately 589,000 copies and was also used in commercials for Haruyama Trading.
When you’re on the verge of losing confidence, listening to it will surely kindle a warm light in your heart.
Charisma of ArroganceUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is a legendary band in the anisong scene.
They’ve built a solid career, and since they keep creating theme songs for anime, I think many elementary school students know them as well.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Bojaku no Charisma.” It’s sung within a relatively narrow range, from mid1 G# to high C#, and it doesn’t include any rapid-fire phrases.
While it’s a bit on the high side, it’s actually a vocal range that might be easier for elementary school kids to sing.
Boss Bitch（Remix) feat.LANA & Elle Teresa7!!
Rapper 7, who was selected as a finalist on the music audition show “Rapstar Tanjou 2023,” has been drawing major attention.
With a distinctive voice and charismatic looks, she’s an artist supported both in Japan and abroad.
This track released under 7 and ZOT on the WAVE showcases her powerful individuality.
It also made waves for featuring LANA and Elle Teresa on the remix.
The song is included on the album “7 (Boss Bitch Edition),” released in February 2024, and stands out for its assertive declaration of unwavering self-confidence over an aggressive trap beat.
It’s the kind of empowerment anthem you’ll want to play when you need a boost of confidence or want to elevate your mood.
For fans of female rap, it’s an irresistible release.

I...beautiful night
Have you ever found yourself unable to be honest in front of someone you like, with your feelings just swelling up inside you? This song by Atarayo vividly portrays the inner world of such unrequited love.
The emotional vocals express the protagonist’s complex feelings—a blend of timidity and overflowing affection.
Released in January 2024, the track was written as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “The Dangers in My Heart.” Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics, which are said to be written from the perspective of the original work’s protagonist.
I did not exist.Kuramaru Riko
This is Riko Kuramaru, who was active as a member of the digital voice actress idol group 22/7.
While the group’s musical style centered on idol pop, she showcased a wide expressive range by performing enka-style songs in her character’s solo tracks.
They made their major debut in September 2017.
Affectionately known as “Mizuhan,” she was a mood-maker with her friendly Kansai dialect talk.
Many people may also know her under the name Mizuba Kuraoka.
My sunHumbert Humbert
This song gives voice to inner complexes and those frustrating feelings that resist words.
It’s included on the acclaimed album “Mukashi Boku wa Mijime Datta,” released in May 2014 by the husband-and-wife duo Humbert Humbert.
Carried by the warm tones of acoustic guitar, the protagonist’s aching heart—caught between ideals and reality—is tenderly portrayed through the pair’s gentle harmonies.
A decade later, the track was chosen as the theme song for a film released in 2024.
It’s also memorable that the director drew the story’s initial inspiration from this very piece.
Boy With LuvBTS
BTS is a boy group popular not only in South Korea but also in Japan and the United States.
It’s no exaggeration to say they helped create the current K-POP boom.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing and sure to get the crowd going is “Boy With Luv.” While it features prominent high notes characteristic of BTS songs, the vocal range falls into the relatively narrow mid1E to hiB, making it much easier to sing than it sounds.
If you slightly reduce your volume, it becomes easier to produce a mixed voice in the build-up sections, so keep that in mind while you sing.
