Save YourselfONE OK ROCK
Released in June 2022, this track opens ONE OK ROCK’s album “Luxury Disease” and cranks up the energy with a powerful rock sound that feels like a return to their roots.
It portrays a relationship where deep love leads to mutual hurt, and the choice to walk away in order to save oneself.
That heart-wrenching sorrow and steadfast resolve are conveyed through Taka’s deeply expressive vocals.
Also featured in a Seiko Prospex commercial, this song is sure to inspire anyone struggling with relationships and seeking the courage to take a new step forward.
It’s a moving number that gives you the strength to value yourself.
Youth RhapsodyNaniwa Danshi
When it comes to Naniwa Danshi’s appeal, it’s definitely their bright and refreshing vocals, right? With that in mind, I recommend this song, “Youth Rhapsody.” The rapid-fire part appears right from the intro, so it might seem difficult, but it isn’t a flow-heavy rap—it’s a more monotonous, chant-like section.
As long as your enunciation is steady, you should be able to get through it without trouble.
The highest note is hi F, while the lowest is mid C#; so while the range reaches high, it isn’t very wide overall.
As long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.

This is a track by Tokyo Q Channel that captivates with its distinctly ’90s groove and stylish sound.
From the unique perspective of calling a birthday “an anniversary you don’t remember yourself,” it warmly sings of gratitude and celebration for being born.
The lyrics by vocalist Mayumi Sudo and the light, heart-lifting pop melody crafted by Yasuhiko Warita together create a lovely celebratory mood.
Released as a single in February 1995, the song was also beloved at the time as the ending theme for the popular TBS program “Doubutsu Kisou Tengai!” It’s perfect for when you want to send a message that’s not clichéd yet still heartwarming.
