A pure white townNEW!Ryota Fujimaki
This is a winter ballad released digitally in January 2025 by Ryota Fujimaki, known for classics like “March 9th” and “Powder Snow.” The shimmering tone of a 12-string guitar leaves a strong impression, and the lyrics overlay the pain of heartbreak onto Tokyo’s snowy scenery, sketching a poignant scene where lingering feelings and gratitude for a past lover intersect.
Positioned as the lead single from the album “Ephemeral and Fragile,” released in March 2025, this first new song in about two years showcases Fujimaki’s matured expressiveness.
It’s a quiet, warming winter song you’ll want to play on a cold night when the snow begins to fall outside your window.
A gaze is lightNEW!Tatsuya Kitani
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
He’s an artist known for many inventive phrases, and even though “Manazashi wa Hikari” ultimately comes together as orthodox pop, he slips in a Japanese-style phrase right before the chorus.
The song spans a slightly wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, but the hi B parts are in a light falsetto, so even those who struggle with head voice can sing it.
The more challenging spots are actually around hi A, so if you set your key with that as the focal point, you can expect a vocal that really soars at the climax.
My WishNEW!AI
This is a ballad themed around “wishes” and “prayers,” and it serves as the image song for the film Hanamanma, released during Golden Week in 2025.
The overall key isn’t high, so it’s easy for women to sing in the original key.
Around the final chorus, the singing style shifts with a melody-like arrangement, so please practice that part by listening to the song multiple times.
You’ll likely feel very refreshed when you can sing it well! Also, since the tempo is slow, the pauses are very important.
You can breathe sufficiently, so if you place each phrase carefully without rushing, the tempo won’t run.
It feels great to sing when you immerse yourself in the song’s world, so cherish the lyrics as you sing.

Midwinter DateNEW!Mari Amachi
Mari Amachi, who was a national idol in the early 1970s.
This song, included as the B-side of the single “Futari no Nichiyoubi,” released in December 1972, warmly depicts lovers intertwining their fingers and snuggling close as a wintry, leafless avenue is swept by a cold wind.
The lyrics are by Michio Yamagami, the music by Masayuki Hirao, and the arrangement by Shunichi Makaino.
The words, which sing of love nurtured in the cold season, combine with Amachi’s clear, transparent voice to evoke a sense of hope amid the poignancy.
Featured on a single that sold about 440,000 copies at the time, the track was also included on the album “Ashita e no Melody” and has continued to be loved by fans.
Give it a listen while imagining a moment spent with someone special on a chilly day.
Marunouchi SadisticNEW!Ringo Sheena
It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements, isn’t it? In fact, one of my students who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes practiced this song many times in vocal training.
The overall range isn’t wide and it’s sung mainly in the mid register, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.
As long as you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, you’ll be able to sing them smoothly! Since the song is all about rhythm, it’s important to mark the beats clearly—even a bit exaggerated.
If you move with the groove while singing, it helps you relax and keeps you from pushing your voice, so I really want you to lean into the cool vibe.
Also, you’ll probably notice this once you’re in the groove, but be sure to cut off the notes cleanly where needed and give space its due as you sing.
pure whiteNEW!Fujii Kaze
A song by Fujii Kaze written in February 2025 as a commercial jingle for I LOHAS.
Its breezy sound, woven from a bossa nova-style rhythm and acoustic guitar, portrays a longing for a pure heart and the resolve to say goodbye.
As he wanders in search of truth, casting off the darkness in his heart and being enveloped by a new breeze, the song conveys the importance of embracing growth and change in life.
The raw yet nostalgic sonic texture born from session-style recording questions what it means to keep a heart as clear and transparent as water.
After delivering an overwhelming performance on the 2023 Kohaku, I’d love to see Fujii Kaze perform this much-talked-about commercial tie-in track.
MatatabiNEW!WANIMA
WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.
In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
