Sentimental Season: Songs to Sing at Karaoke in September

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

If I could become a constellationcable tie

[Lyric Video] Kessoku Band “If We Could Become Constellations” / In-episode song from TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” Episode 12

If we could become a constellation, we’d be Kessoku Band.

Kessoku Band is the band that appears in the TV anime Bocchi the Rock!.

Their song “If I Could Become a Constellation,” included on their first album Kessoku Band, is an in-show track performed in the final episode.

It’s a catchy number with a funky ensemble and a straightforward melody.

The lyrics, which yearn to be like a constellation formed by stars coming together as one shape, tie in with the anime’s story and really stir the emotions.

It’s a cute yet cool rock tune that’s a joy to sing along to over its upbeat rhythm.

September, the end of summer, suits this song so well, doesn’t it? Loved not only by rock fans but by many music listeners as a classic for summer’s end, this track is one of Fujifabric’s signature songs.
