Yurina Hirate “Eenie Meenie Miney Mo” MUSIC VIDEO

Since leaving Keyakizaka46, Yurina Hirate has been forging her own path as a solo artist, active in music and acting, with every move she makes drawing attention.

Released in March 2025, “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe” puts tech-house elements front and center, blending coolness and pop sensibility to superb effect, and the striking visual image Hirate presents in the music video also drew a lot of buzz.

Melodically, it isn’t particularly difficult and sits in a range that men can sing as well, but with this kind of track, simply singing it can feel too flat.

It’s best to immerse yourself in the song’s world and perform with the mindset of becoming Hirate herself.

Fujii Kaze – “masshiro” (pure white) [Official Audio]

Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, his music is striking for its foundation in Black music genres like R&B, soul, and neo-soul, but this work is characterized by a dream pop-like finish.

The vocal range is on the narrower side for his songs, which alone makes it quite easy to sing, but the most distinctive feature is the vocal line.

In this track, the vocal line moves very gently in pitch, and the groove isn’t heavily emphasized either.

Among his songs, it’s one of the easiest to sing, both rhythmically and in terms of the vocal line.

Kenshi Yonezu – Spinning Globe

The theme song for The Boy and the Heron, the 2023 film by Studio Ghibli master Hayao Miyazaki, said to be his final work.

Kenshi Yonezu wrote this song specifically for the movie.

In tandem with the film’s complete secrecy, the song Spinning Globe takes on added depth, as if the piece itself were shrouded in a veil of mystery.

The lyrics are protean, open to interpretations that differ from listener to listener—about the course of a life, or about loving someone.

It’s a song I hope will endure for decades; it also seems perfect for singing at karaoke and basking in the emotion.
