dark; obscure; dim; the netherworld (poetic/literary)Chevon
Chevon is a rock band formed in 2021, centered around Mayu Tani-Kinumayu.
While rooted in rock, they are characterized by a wide range of styles, including electronica and post-punk.
They have released singles such as “No.
4” and “Clone,” notable for their driving melodies and serious lyrics.
In 2022, they held their first solo headlining show and successfully completed a nationwide tour.
In 2024, they collaborated with Shingo Katori on “Circus Funk.” Their appeal lies in emotionally charged, energetic performances and a sound that makes skillful use of synthesizers and distortion.
They’re a band recommended not only for rock fans but also for anyone seeking something fresh in music.
Meroismpurple now
Singer-songwriter Shikon, who gained nationwide popularity with “Masho no Onna A,” is an artist influenced by R&B and showcases high-level vocals that use melisma—a fundamental R&B technique—in her songs.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Melorhythm.” This piece contains fewer R&B elements and is characterized by a somewhat denpa-style melody.
Despite its bright vibe, it surprisingly has a narrow vocal range, making it easy for most women to sing.
Morning Star GalacticaNayutan Alien
“Myojo Galactica” is a song by Nayutan Seijin, a Vocaloid producer who came from outer space.
It was released in August 2018 and included on the album “Object Z from Planet Nayutan.
” It’s a love song themed around constellations and galaxies, featuring a rock sound and a melodic line reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
If someone currently in love sings it, their emotions might just catch fire.
There’s also a version sung by Eve and Sou, making it a recommended choice as a duet song.
melon sodaaiko
This is a song by aiko that delicately depicts the flow of time and changes in relationships felt with the arrival of spring.
It was produced in 2019 as the spring campaign song for FM802’s 30th anniversary, with the special unit “Radio Darlings,” featuring a lineup of renowned artists, handling the vocals.
Through its unique expressions and melodies, it weaves emotions that arise in everyday life and resonates deeply with listeners.
In March 2021, a self-cover version was included on aiko’s album “Doushitatte Tsutaerarenai kara.” It’s a recommended track for those starting a new chapter in life or anyone who wants to feel the spring season.
Maybe DaisyKinoshita
It’s an adorable song that gently warms up the atmosphere.
Composed by Kinoshita and released in November 2024, it’s a perfect match between Kagamine Rin’s cute vocals and lyrics brimming with hope for the future.
It’s guaranteed to put you in a positive mood! The catchy melody line will make you want to hum along yourself, too.
Be sure to sing it out with lots of energy!
Even if it costs my lifeShinichi Mori
This is a smash hit by Shinichi Mori, featuring an irresistibly moody, wistful saxophone in the intro.
Released in 1967, “Inochi Karatemo” is said to be Mori’s first million-selling single.
In 1968, a kayō (popular song) film based on the song was released with Tatsuo Umemiya in the lead, and it has remained a classic in enka history, continually covered by many singers.
Unsurprisingly, it’s also a staple in karaoke.
While “Inochi Karatemo” may sound like it’s being sung with effortless ease, actually performing it is quite challenging: it takes Mori’s innate husky voice—blending melancholy and allure—along with his exceptional vocal technique and expressive power.
Be sure to master essential enka techniques like vibrato, and practice delivering the wide-ranging melody without becoming overly constrained by the rhythm, yet without losing it either.
As an aside, women who’d like to try this song at karaoke might consider choosing the cover versions by Keiko Fuji or Aki Yashiro.
Merry Christmas, One-RoomHitoka hitomoku
A heartwarming Vocaloid tune that gently lights up a lonely holy night.
Created by Hitoka hitomoku and released in December 2024.
The soft vocals trace the feelings of a protagonist spending Christmas alone in a studio apartment.
Pleasant band sounds and vocal work tenderly express the hope that exists within loneliness.
The lyrics also leave an impression by spotlighting small changes in everyday life—like the smile of a clerk wearing a Santa hat and modest decorations.
Listening will surely put you in a relaxed mood.
