DiNAYuri
This song by Yuuri vividly portrays how everyday memories with a lover become etched into the heart like genes.
Its delicate depictions resonate deeply with anyone who lives carrying both the bittersweetness and the joy of love.
Released in January 2025, the track drew attention after its performance on THE FIRST TAKE.
Singing of memories of love and the resolve to take a new step forward, this work is a must-listen for those who feel both loneliness and happiness whenever they think of someone dear.
doting loveberry meet
A gem of a love song that beautifully portrays both the joy and the anxiety of meeting someone special and loving each other.
Even when wrapped in unease and loneliness, the pure feeling that you can overcome it by trusting and supporting one another resonates deeply.
Woven from berry meet’s warm vocals and a pop melody, this piece was created for a split tour with bands of the same generation and released as a recording in May 2024.
It’s a soothing work that stands with those whose feelings lead them to see no one but the person right in front of them as their love deepens, loving them almost blindly.
A song you’ll want to listen to while thinking of someone dear, like a protective charm.
Disco FLOAzusagawa
Azusagawa is a vocalist currently drawing attention in the utaite scene.
They haven’t explicitly stated their gender, but judging from their timbre, they’re probably male.
That said, it’s not your typical male voice—it’s a uniquely pitched tone that almost sounds like a low-voiced woman—so this time I’m recommending them particularly for women with lower voices.
Their track “Disco FLO” features a chic, downer-style melody, with the vocal line emphasizing the low to mid range.
If you sing using breathy overtones mixed with your breath support, you’ll get closer to the original vibe, so definitely use that as a reference.
Encounter HighwayYoshimi Tendo
The piece “Deai Kaido” is notable for its expressive, dynamic vocal line.
This is a pure pop work—not enka or kayōkyoku—so it doesn’t demand the intricate pitch rises and falls typical of enka.
However, it does contain quite a few slightly high phrases, so be mindful of that.
Fortunately, there aren’t many long sustained high notes.
Aim to sing in a suitable key so you can lock in your pitch.
If the high notes are challenging, it can even help to raise the key on purpose to make it easier to use falsetto.
DAYBREAKOtokogumi
This classic song, released as a single in 1988, blends a passionate rock sound with a powerful message, showcasing Otokogumi’s dual identity as both idols and a rock band to the fullest.
Expressing the resolve to embark on a new beginning with a loved one and the joy of overcoming loneliness to be reunited, the track topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and ranked fourth on the year-end chart.
Demonstrating their talent from their debut, they won Best New Artist at the 30th Japan Record Awards that same year.
The song was also used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Otokodarō!” and the film “Rock Yo, Shizuka ni Nagareyo,” and it appears on the albums “NEW BEST Otokogumi” and “HIT COLLECTION.” While strongly rock-oriented, its passionate, message-driven lyrics are relatable to all genders, and with a generally lower key and not overly demanding vocals, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to sing it with heartfelt emotion.
DEVELOPSandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE
The track by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS is a dance-pop number that conveys a commitment to continually evolving toward the future.
Its intro and chorus phrases are striking, and the lyrics, which incorporate a rose motif, resonate deeply.
It portrays an attitude of never settling for the status quo and relentlessly pursuing ideals, conveying a sense of growth that comes after overcoming challenges and inner conflict.
Released as a digital single on November 6, 2024, it serves as the lead track for the album “ECHOES of DUALITY,” out on November 13.
The music video paints a fantastical world set in the theme park “JSB BASE,” and features a new performance born from a collaboration with world-renowned choreographer Sienna Lalau.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to be true to themselves and embrace change without fear in order to grow.

DSTMONE OR EIGHT
An ambitious track by ONE OR EIGHT that boldly samples Rihanna’s classic “Don’t Stop The Music.” With its modern hip-hop beats and catchy rap and melodies, this song hints at new possibilities for pop music.
The music video—featuring a sci-fi, cinematic world—is a must-see.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to share in the love of music or get an energy boost from dance tunes!
