Effeminate by Golden Bomber

A dynamic track by Golden Bomber that expresses the ache and regret of heartbreak set to a catchy, kayōkyoku-style melody.

While retaining elements of visual kei, the song—shaped by influences from 1970s kayōkyoku and Eurobeat—comically portrays a man’s lingering attachment.

Released as a single in October 2009, it was also featured in a commercial tie-in for House Foods’ “Megashaki.” The group performed at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015, and the song topped the Oricon Weekly Karaoke Rankings for 51 straight weeks.

It’s a tune that lifts your spirits with refreshing energy and humor, making your body move almost involuntarily when you’re feeling down or need a change of pace.

Song of Greensmall gift

Soshina, the straight man of the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo.

In addition to his work as a TV personality, he’s also active as a YouTuber and an artist.

As an artist, he primarily focuses on punk rock, and his loud musical style has earned him immense popularity among certain audiences.

Among Soshina’s songs, a particularly recommended track is Midori no Uta.

It’s written in a minor key, and while the vocals are quite raspy, the overall range is fairly narrow, making it a very easy song for men who can do shout-style vocals.

MAZZEL is one of the groups supporting Japan’s current boy group boom.

Among their works—renowned for performances that rival K-pop—my top recommendation is J.

O.

K.

E.

R.

The chorus features falsetto throughout.

It’s not just about hitting high notes; the rapid, repeated switches between chest voice and falsetto make it exceptionally challenging.

Breath control is also crucial, so if you can sing this song with ease, your vocal ability is at a professional level.

Witty and light on its feet, it satirizes SNS culture and the digital age while vividly portraying the struggles today’s youth face.

Set to powerful low-end and a danceable beat, the song is an anthem that champions living true to yourself, free from others’ judgments and fixed ideas.

Since its July 2024 release, it has topped YouTube’s music video rankings and drew buzz for a collaboration with HoYoverse’s hit game Zenless Zone Zero.

A recommended track for anyone seeking a spark in everyday life or a chance to rediscover their authentic self.

SILVERRIZE

RIZE’s fiery performance shakes the soul with its ferocious sound and powerful playing! Anchored by a heavy drum beat and razor-sharp guitar riffs, it crafts a unique world where strength and tenderness intertwine.

Packed with explosive energy and a strong message of unwavering conviction, this track was released in March 2017 and was used as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime Gintama.

Also included on the album THUNDERBOLT: The Thunderbolt Returns, this song is sure to resonate as an anthem that gives you a strong push forward when you want to face hardships and keep moving ahead.
