DearestNEW!Ayumi Hamasaki
A singer-songwriter who reigned at the pinnacle of the J-POP scene as a “charismatic icon for high school girls,” Ayumi Hamasaki released her 24th single in September 2001.
Widely beloved as the ending theme for the TV anime Inuyasha and as a song for Tu-Ka commercials, it is a renowned ballad that won the 43rd Japan Record Award.
Set to a grand melody woven by piano and strings, the lyrics convey a heartfelt resolve to accept parting and loss while continuing to wish for the other person’s happiness.
It’s a gem of a number you’ll want to listen to while thinking of someone dear, as the season begins to carry a hint of winter.
countrysideNEW!Koji Tamaki
A number whose powerful message—affirming that just being alive is wonderful no matter the circumstances—resonates deeply, as it portrays people grappling with troubles in everyday life.
Koji Tamaki’s solo single “Den-en,” released in July 1996, became widely beloved as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Coach, in which he starred.
The song strongly reflects Tamaki’s own experiences during a time of mental anguish, and his soul-baring vocals sparked a huge response, achieving the highest individual performer rating of 59.
9% at the 47th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
It’s the perfect track for lifting yourself up when you’re feeling down or for getting fired up together with friends.
Dear SnowNEW!storm
A fleeting yet beautiful ballad you’ll want to listen to as winter arrives.
Released in October 2010, this single served as the theme song for the film “Ōoku,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya.
Its lyrics weave a traditional Japanese aesthetic matching the film’s historical setting with a heartbreakingly delicate love that feels as if it could vanish like snow—beauty that may tighten many listeners’ chests.
The gentle, slow-tempo melody has few abrupt pitch changes, making it perfect when you want to sing with calm, resonant vocals.
Since the song includes a slightly high range for male singers, don’t hesitate to adjust the key and try it at a comfortable pitch for you.
Blooming in the mudNEW!Wolpis Carter
Wolpis Carter is a male singer whose voice is so clear and beautiful it could be mistaken for a woman’s.
He’s known as a “guy who wants to hit high notes,” and this song is his specialty! The melody climbs even higher toward the end, so unless you’re comfortable with high tones from the start, it’s tough to sing in the original key.
The last chorus might give you a headache… But when a song is this high, it actually feels downright beautiful.
I personally love high-note songs, and belting them out feels amazing.
The overall range is quite wide, from G#3 to F5, so be careful not to strain your throat on the low notes.
Lift your facial muscles from the beginning and sing it through to the end!
Disco BabyNEW!Travis Japan
A danceable practice track that rebuilds the glitter of 70s disco with a modern twist.
Its sense of tempo, rhythm, and groove make it perfect for sharpening your expressiveness and performance skills for karaoke! The song’s range is D3 to A#4, which should be comfortable for many male singers.
The tempo is a brisk 124 BPM, and it’s the kind of song that naturally gets your body moving as you sing.
Of course, pitch matters too, but if you’re not confident with uptempo songs, the key is to relax and enjoy riding the rhythm! The lyrics are on the dense side, so it might be best to first learn the melody thoroughly by humming or using “la,” and then fit the lyrics in afterward.
DANGERNEW!MAZZEL
Its bold message, imbued with the scent of freedom and danger, boosts your motivation to train.
“DANGER” by MAZZEL is a track released in August 2025 and was selected as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s DayDay.
It’s a song that pushes beyond norms and boundaries to challenge the limits, making it perfect for breaking through your own barriers during workouts.
Highly recommended for those aiming for performance beyond the ordinary.
