Romantic In Lovedeep crimson
It’s a pure, heartwarming love song that sings, “No matter what happens, I’ll keep on loving only you.” The track is by the Vocaloid producer Karakurenai, known for hits like “Sphinx” and “Ryotei Banrai,” and was released in June 2023.
Its gentle charm comes from a band sound colored by piano and strings.
As the title suggests, you can sense the sweet, romantic relationship between the two protagonists.
Miku’s calm vocal delivery matches perfectly.
Be sure to give it a listen with your partner.
Lonely Beachy StoryHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s classic “Lonely Beachy Story” is rich with reggae elements.
The drums place accents on the third beat of each measure, and there are also accents on beats two and four in 4/4 time—features that are quintessentially reggae.
The rhythm can be a bit challenging for Japanese singers, but you should be able to sing it as long as you really feel the groove.
However, since the song uses a lot of falsetto, adjusting the key is necessary.
Because much of the falsetto sits in the lower range, raising the key to make the falsetto easier to produce is actually recommended.
Lost UmbrellaInabakumori
This song is known for its somewhat ennui-tinged worldview and addictive melody.
It’s a track packed with Inabakumori’s distinctive sensibilities, released in 2018 and included on the album “Anti-Cyclone.” It became a big hit that drew attention from overseas Vocaloid fans as well.
Despite its driving tempo, it manages to sustain a bittersweet mood throughout—that’s what’s so remarkable about it.
I recommend listening to it on a rainy day while gazing out the window.
It’s sure to be a moving experience.

The 1977 anime theme song sung by Kumiko Osugi, known for her clear and beautiful voice, is a classic that refreshingly conveys a heartwarming tale of friendship.

The gentle lyrics, filled with gratitude to God and pure friendship, resonate deeply with listeners.

ROCKET DIVEhide with Spread Beaver

4 on the Oricon charts and earned Double Platinum certification.

Opening with a powerful beat, this song vividly conveys a message of self-transformation and growth, carried by Masami Okui’s resonant vocals.
The protagonist’s strong resolve to overcome a parting with someone dear and carve out their own path is embedded in the memorable melody.
Her commanding voice gives listeners the courage to take that first step forward.
