Songs with titles that start with “Ri”

Travel is better with companions.Official HIGE DANDism

Tabi wa Michizure, included on the major first album Traveler.

It was used as the CM song for Suzuki Swift, and its funky guitar and beat create a happy atmosphere that really lifts your spirits.

For a HIGE DANdism song, the vocal range isn’t that wide, so the difficulty is relatively low; however, it features fast melodies carried by a bouncy shuffle rhythm, so be mindful to articulate clearly.

Once you learn it slowly, it’s an easy song to sing at karaoke—so why not give it a try?

rinsePapaya Paranoia

Papaya Paranoia, led by bassist and vocalist Yumiko Ishijima, is a girls’ band that gained popularity in the 1980s indie scene with a powerful individuality and outstanding musicianship.

They began in 1983 under the predecessor band Neko Odori, and in 1985 they made a full-fledged debut by contributing a track under the name Papaya Paranoia to the omnibus release As in the City Where the Rain Falls, produced by Koichi Makigami of Hikashu.

In their early days, all members wore kimono; starting with Yumiko Ishijima, who sang while executing intricate bass lines, the sound crafted by these highly skilled musicians was entirely unlike conventional rock, yet somehow irresistibly catchy.

Alongside Rinse—the song featured here—tracks like Catcher in Isetan showcase lyrics born from a uniquely offbeat perspective.

Their recordings are relatively easy to find, and they’re a highly recommended band!

With vocals tinged with an ennui-laden atmosphere, a simple yet catchy, ear-grabbing bass line, and a prominent, noisy guitar, it’s a song whose unique sound—different from straightforward flashiness—becomes addictive.

ReunionRADWIMPS

This song depicts a reunion with a “friend” you might meet somewhere, someday.

You don’t need to know what the definition of a friend is; if this isn’t it, then I don’t need it—such candid feelings are woven into the track.

Included on the acclaimed album “X to O to Tsumi to,” it was released in December 2013.

It’s a quintessential RADWIMPS piece, striking a perfect balance between introspective sound and accessible lyrics.

Yojiro Noda’s delicate vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

If you listen while thinking about your friends or companions, you’ll surely find something that lingers in your heart.
