Riding the sound so hard it hurtsSuganoya Ayaka
A newcomer artist whose breathy vocals and catchy sound are rapidly gaining momentum, Yua Sugaya.
He already has a few hit tunes under his belt, but the one I especially recommend is “Ride the Sound Till It Hurts.” It’s a bright, upbeat track, yet surprisingly the vocal line’s pitch movement is gentle, and the long tones aren’t all that long.
If you track the pitch accurately, it’s a song where you can easily aim for a perfect score.

This song captures the ache of a long-distance relationship.
Released in December 2024 as a pre-release track from Kento Nakajima’s solo debut album “N / bias,” it expresses possessiveness and jealousy toward a lover through a pop sound and his refreshing vocals.
