RosenfeldROSENFELD
This is a signature track bearing their own name, recorded on the demo tape “B” that ROSENFELD—who dominated Osaka’s thrash metal scene—distributed in April 1989.
The sound, where razor-edged guitar riffs slice like metal and sky-piercing high-tone shouts attack in unison, is nothing short of overwhelming.
Their true essence lies in a style that fuses aggressive metal with a refined, dramatic aesthetic reminiscent of the visual scene of the era.
Through themes of war and violence, their stance of hurling their very existence against the world grips many listeners by the heart.
It’s a song brimming with pure early impulse that leads into their later hallmark work, “Pigs of the Empire.” When you’re ready to break through something, this ferocious energy will give you a powerful push forward.
Log outsasaki
An irresistibly funky slap bass grabs you right from the start—this is a highly addictive Vocaloid track.
Released by sasaki in July 2025, the song rides a sharp electronic sound while voicing a mind that’s fallen into a tangled mess.
The blurring sense of self it portrays is something many teens, especially, may relate to.
The dynamic, finely tuned sound design pairs perfectly with Teto’s cool vocals! It’s great for getting hyped, or for sinking into your thoughts as you listen.
Romeo Cosmic PicnicTHE ALFEE
This is a grand picnic song set in space, included on THE ALFEE’s classic album “GLINT BEAT,” released in September 2001.
Some of you may remember that the album reached No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart.
The lyrical world, crafted by Toshihiko Takamizawa and lyricist Yukinojo Mori, is uniquely charming—heading out to the edge of the universe on a sparkling airship for a picnic.
The song captures the protagonist’s excitement for a futuristic date with their loved one through a floating melody and dramatic song structure.
With their signature rock foundation layered with diverse sounds, the cyber-pop vibe really lifts your spirits.
It’s a perfect track not only for a picnic under blue skies, but also as a great companion for a drive.
RONOVEGIVEN BY THE FLAMES
GIVEN BY THE FLAMES, a Japanese gothic metalcore band formed in 2013, captivates with a worldview that beckons listeners into the darkness.
They have established a distinctive style that fuses heavy sound with dark, majestic melodies.
Notable tracks include “RONOVE” and “PURGING NIGHT,” and in 2020 they released their first full-length album, “13.” Their intense yet beautiful, dramatic sound is perfect for listeners who want to immerse themselves in a weighty, atmospheric world.
LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song is included on the 5th album “ANTENNA,” released on July 4, 2023, and it conveys Ms.
Omori’s strength and gentleness.
The overall vocal range is C3–D5, but there aren’t many high notes in the song; it mostly sits around G3, so I think it’s a piece you can sing almost entirely in chest voice.
That said, there are spots where falsetto appears—switch lightly into head voice, aiming for a gentle head resonance.
The chorus is where the emotion really surges and you can feel the power.
Keep a solid sense of rhythm and hit the first note cleanly.
Also, when the melody changes, be mindful of pitch.
If your singing style shifts drastically, you may tense up or strain your throat, so keep your facial muscles lifted to prevent the pitch from dropping.
Try to maintain the sensation of resonance around the glabella (between the eyebrows) throughout.
ROCKIN’ MY HEARTEikichi Yazawa
A cool, mellow slice of West Coast rock that blends into the flowing scenery of the nighttime highway.
Despite its sophisticated sound, it sings of the loneliness and longing of a city dweller thinking of a lover far away.
You can picture the glittering city lights only heightening the sense of solitude.
Released in October 1982 as the 13th single, it was featured in a commercial for a Pioneer stereo system and became widely known.
It was also released in the United States, earning high praise from Billboard magazine—a song that symbolizes Eikichi Yazawa’s challenge to take on the world.
Roppongi HeartbreakAnn Lewis
For women in their 50s, when you think of female rock singers, Anne Lewis is probably the first that comes to mind, isn’t she? Among her songs, the one that boasts overwhelming popularity and singability is Roppongi Shinju.
The vocal range of this piece is mid2D to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.
Because many of the pitches suit a male vocalist’s range, it’s easy for men to sing, while women will need to adjust the key.
However, there’s plenty of room to shift the key both up and down, so this shouldn’t be a barrier.
Singing it with a rough, gritty edge will heighten the excitement, so give that approach a try.
