day by dayKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a band that continues to gain popularity with their catchy musical style.
They’re especially popular among men and have strong support from teens and people in their late twenties.
Among their works, the song I particularly recommend is Hibiki (Hibi).
The melody carries a touch of grunge and, while in a major key, comes together with a gritty feel.
The vocal line has a relatively wide range, but since the tempo is slow, it’s not all that difficult.
If you articulate the very first note clearly, it will sound professional—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

A delicately rendered farewell to a longtime lover, this is a classic song that almost everyone has hummed at least once.

In 1984, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Kinō, Kanabetsu de,” bringing it back into the spotlight.
Accompanied by a gentle melody, the lyrics look back on memories with a lover while gazing toward a new step in life—offering comfort to those who have overcome a turning point in their lives.

Anemone flaccida (nirinsō; literally “two-flowered anemone”)Miyuki Kawanaka
This is a warm song about the bond between husband and wife, with Miyuki Kawanaka’s emotionally rich vocals resonating deeply.
Using as its motif a plant where two flowers bloom side by side, it sings of the importance of caring for and supporting each other through life.
Combined with her gently enveloping voice, the piece is heartwarming, conveying deep love and connection.

Parody of “240 Million Eyes”: “240 Million Retirements”Hiromi Go
Here’s an idea for a parody of Hiromi Go’s classic hit, “240 Million Eyes,” titled “240 Million Retirements.” It tackles Japan’s well-known issue of a declining birthrate and aging population.
Everyone grows old after they’re born, but this song turns anxieties about old age—like small pensions and having to take part-time jobs just to get by—into laughter through sheer momentum.
There’s a poignant line that says, “About the only pleasure on a small pension is a public bath,” yet even with such themes, it has a curious charm that makes you raise your voice and get hyped for the final “Japan!”

The protagonist likens herself to a doll and expresses her resolve to overcome lost love and rediscover who she is.
It topped the Oricon chart for three consecutive weeks and earned the Vocal Performance Award at the 11th Japan Record Awards.
Her powerful yet delicate voice beautifully conveys the song’s melodic and lyrical world.
Many artists across genres, including Megumi Asaoka and Hideaki Tokunaga, have covered it.
It’s a song that resonates when facing a farewell with someone dear or taking a step into a new chapter of life.
