Official HIGE DANDism – Mixed Nuts [Official Video]

This song by Official HIGE DANDism is striking for its disjointed yet fast-paced feel, packed with a variety of tones.

It was written specifically as the opening theme for the anime SPY×FAMILY, and a key point is how the story of the series comes through in the music itself.

The strongly resonant bass and the bright, brassy sound evoke the atmosphere of classic spy works.

Another major feature is the lyrics, which convey the content of the series by depicting people living each day with secrets and their feelings for those they cherish.

It’s a fun, lively track that seems to pack in both a showy, bustling everyday life and family love.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Singing the latest hits can show you’re on trend, but classic anthems are still essential for getting the crowd going at karaoke.

That’s why we recommend “Hai Yorokonde.” It’s often seen as high and difficult, but that’s only if you try to replicate the falsetto in the chorus; the highest chest note is mid2 F#, which isn’t particularly high.

The song is guaranteed to hype up the room, but since it has many rapid-fire lyrics, make sure you identify your breathing spots in advance.

Its nostalgic atmosphere and lyrics that portray complex emotions—love, friendship, regret, and inner conflict—will resonate with adults who feel a fond longing for their school days.

The song received high acclaim, ranking No.

2 on several Billboard JAPAN weekly charts.

For high school students, it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped when sung at karaoke.
