unconsciously / without realizing itRyudo Uzaki
For men in their 60s, when it comes to no-nonsense male singer-songwriters, Ryudo Uzaki is likely the first name that comes to mind.
He has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Shira zu Shira zu no Uchi ni.
This piece is set within a relatively narrow range of mid1 B to mid2 C#, and the vocal line maintains a gentle, even contour.
However, because it calls for expressive elements like shouts and breath control, if you want to show appeal beyond just scoring points, I recommend mastering overtones that are effective in the low to low-mid range.
Shangri-LaDenki Groove
“A,” the album that became Denki Groove’s biggest hit.
Celebrated as a landmark techno record of the 1990s, it’s loved by a wide audience.
Thanks to the commercial smash “Shangri-La,” many people likely first encountered their music through that song.
The warm sound and elegant strings—pleasantly subverting the typical image of techno—are truly stunning.
At the same time, the album is packed with playful tracks like “Garigari-kun,” as well as cool, experimental cuts.
It’s a record where pop appeal and geeky depth coexist in perfect balance, letting you fully immerse yourself in Denki Groove’s unique world.

Even as she spirals into self-destruction, the moment she realizes there is a new life growing inside her, her world is transformed.

Released in July 2025, the track is a coming-of-age anthem that pairs the changing of the seasons with the renewal of the heart, giving listeners a gentle push forward.
The breezy sound arrangement, AKASAKI’s tender vocals, and the lyrics that reflect on the passage of time work together beautifully.

Shimanto no Yado (Inn of Shimanto)Yuko Oka
This is a renowned song performed by Yuko Oka, known as the “Singing Map of Japan” for her renditions of local songs from across the country, set against the clear currents of Kochi.
Included on a single released in 2016, the piece portrays a quiet love story unfolding at a hidden inn along the banks of the Shimanto River.
The scene evoked by the line “Resting my cheek on your shoulder / a roofed boat on the Shimanto River” is like a painting.
With the lively Yosakoi Festival as a backdrop, time flows gently for just the two of them.
Oka’s richly expressive, sultry voice perfectly matches the poignancy of their secret love and the serene ambiance of Kochi.
