As one of X JAPAN’s signature songs, this piece captures fans’ hearts and never lets go.

Its appeal lies in its energetic sound and the poignant lyrics that portray lingering feelings for lost love and the pain of the heart.

Showcasing YOSHIKI’s brilliance, it seamlessly fuses high-speed, powerful performance with melodic, emotional expression.

Released in November 1996, it also drew attention as a lead single from the album of the same name.

It’s a live favorite and holds special meaning for fans.

Masamune Kusano’s soft vocals leave a strong impression and seep into the listener’s heart.

Included on the album Indigo Chiheisen, the song was released as a single in September 1996 and became a major hit, topping the Oricon weekly chart and ranking 29th for the year.

With lyrics that evoke the end of summer and the bittersweetness of love, it’s bound to resonate at karaoke, too.

Gen Hoshino – Koi (Official Video)
Love Hoshino Gen

In the winter of 2016, everyone went wild, was captivated, and got hooked on the smash-hit drama “We Married as a Job! (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu),” featuring Gen Hoshino’s song “Koi,” which he wrote and composed.

The charm of this track lies not only in its catchy melody and lyrics, but also in the choreography of the much-talked-about “Koi Dance,” doesn’t it?

Wonderful EverydayYu Takahashi

As always, everyday happiness is probably scattered all around us—we just don’t notice it.

Yū Takahashi’s slightly husky, powerful voice makes this a song that gives you a push forward.

I want to feel the happiness of simply being alive, even in small things, and live with gratitude.

Run, SAKAMOTO Vaundy

SAKAMOTO DAYS is one of the most talked-about anime right now.

Its theme song, Hashire SAKAMOTO, is among Vaundy’s loudest and most hard-hitting tracks.

While the overall range isn’t exactly narrow, the vocal line drops significantly in the chorus, and the pre-chorus build doesn’t require the kind of height that calls for mixed voice.

That makes it perfect for men with lower voices.

It’s not just easy to sing—this song also lets low-voiced singers showcase the thickness and richness unique to their timbre, so it’s well worth adding to your repertoire.

TRUE BLUELUNA SEA

TRUE BLUELUNA SEA

Although it’s a very monotonous song, it’s catchy and memorable.

It’s easy for the singer, so it’s a go-to choice when you’re unsure, and for listeners the tempo is good, so even if the singing doesn’t particularly stand out, it never feels long.
