Ghost of the SeaKenshi Yonezu30rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Spirits of the Sea

Theme song of the film “Children of the Sea.” The original features a grand orchestral arrangement and vocals layered with multiple effects, but honestly, reproducing that at karaoke is… quite difficult.

Try focusing on capturing just the pitch and expressing your own individuality as you sing.

The key is how smoothly you can transition into the falsetto in the chorus.

The song itself is simple, so concentrating on that should raise the overall quality.

A heartwarming story of friendship woven together with the gentle tones of the ukulele.

Dai Hirai’s music is filled with a tenderness that feels close to the listener’s heart.

This work was released in July 2019 and included on the album THE GIFT.

It was also used as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Chronicle of the Moon Exploration, capturing the hearts of many.

Through this song, Dai Hirai conveys the miracle of encounters and the preciousness of cherished memories.

Its gentle vocals and soothing melody are perfect for deepening bonds with friends or expressing gratitude to someone special.

Kenshi Yonezu – Plazma

As the theme song for ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-‘, it’s a track where the synthetic machine-like sounds really stand out! Kenshi Yonezu handled everything himself—lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, and even the artwork—making it one of his most dedicated works of 2025.

The vocal range is C3 to C5, which I think is a comfortable height for men to sing mainly in chest voice without strain.

There are falsetto parts here and there, but they’re used in those signature “this is the moment!” spots typical of Yonezu, so make sure to align precisely with the pitch bar.

For the fast sections, avoid mumbling and pronounce the vowels clearly.

Also be careful not to over-enunciate.

Approach it like a tongue twister: articulate the initial consonants cleanly and focus on locking in with the rhythm.

Super☆Ultra Dragon Soul

This is a song by Takayoshi Tanimoto, irresistible for its dynamic sound and powerful vocals.

Featured as an insert song in episode 41 of the anime Dragon Ball Kai, it serves as Son Goku’s theme song.

“Go beyond your limits and become stronger!”—it’s packed with a fiery message.

It ignites the listener’s fighting spirit and gives the courage to face any challenge.

It’s a motivational anthem that gives you a push when you need to take that one last step.

It’s a rock number with a distinctive atmosphere, highlighted by its striking piano tone.

Created by singer-songwriter Vickeblanka from Aichi Prefecture, it was released digitally in January 2020.

It serves as the opening theme for cour 10 of the anime Black Clover.

As you’d expect from a pianist, one of its charms is a musicality that blends style and coolness.

It’s highly addictive.

Carrying messages like “facing hardship” and “never giving up,” it’s a cool-feeling anime song that perfectly suits a fantasy battle series.
