I play Electone, piano, and piano with vocals, and I upload performance videos to social media like YouTube! I’ve loved Disney music since I was little and have played many pieces on the Electone. I’ve been a fan of GLAY since junior high, and from there I started listening to all kinds of music, both Japanese and international. In Western music, I like Avril Lavigne♫

After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

It’s like a small light.Sanketsu Shoujo Sayuri

Sanketsu Shoujo Sayuri 'It’s Like a Small Light' MV (Short ver) Anime 'ERASED' Ending Theme

It’s Sayuri, the oxygen-deprived girl, like a little light.

Sore wa Chiisana Hikari no You na by Sayuri (Sanketsu Shoujo Sayuri), the theme song for the 2016 anime ERASED (Boku dake ga Inai Machi).

The anime features a boy who experiences a phenomenon called “Revival,” where time rewinds only for him.

Its appeal lies in the depth of both its story and its central gimmick.

As the theme for an anime with such a distinctive worldview, the song also carries a unique and singular atmosphere.

How you incorporate this track into your performance is where you can truly show your skill.

DADDY! DADDY! DO! feat. Airi Suzuki Masayuki Suzuki

It’s so sophisticated you wouldn’t believe it’s an anime song.

This track was used as the opening theme for the anime Kaguya-sama: Love Is War? The brilliant minds’ romantic brain battle.

It’s sung by the King of Love Songs, Masayuki Suzuki, and was released in 2020 as his 40th single, featuring model and singer Airi Suzuki.

Take inspiration from the outfits in the music video, dress extravagantly, and sing it with a super funky vibe—that’s my recommendation.

It’s a pretty high-difficulty song, but if you can pull it off perfectly, you’re guaranteed a thunderous round of applause.

This song, used as the ending theme for the TV anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, features vocals by three cast members: Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya, Minori Chihara as Yuki Nagato, and Yuko Goto as Mikuru Asahina.

Since it has choreography, it would probably be a hit to dance to it in cosplay at year-end or New Year’s parties.

It’s totally fine for guys to dance it, too.

Love CirculationKana Hanazawa

Kana Hanazawa “Ren'ai Circulation” Full Size (Live Video) [COVER]

Ren'ai Circulation Hanazawa Kana

The song used as the opening theme for episode 10 of the anime Bakemonogatari is Kana Hanazawa’s “Ren’ai Circulation.” It’s a very popular anime song, with many “tried singing” videos posted online.

Since it’s a soft, cute tune, how about forming a girls’ group and dancing with your own original choreography? If you sing it while getting into idol mode, it’s sure to get everyone excited.

It could also be fun to deliberately speed up the tempo when singing or dancing!
