emptiness/void (kara)Presto
Perhaps everyone has moments when they “somehow feel empty.” That’s exactly when I’d like you to listen to “Kara/Kyo (Emptiness/Void).” It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer Presto, created using Hatsune Miku.

Because I like you.RADWIMPS
Included on the album “RADWIMPS 2: Hatten Tojo” is the song “Sorya Kimi ga Suki Dakara.” It’s a rock track with a distinctive guitar sound.
While repeating the title phrase, it portrays someone trying to convey their love to the person they’re interested in.
The intense sound and rapid-fire sections might make it seem difficult, but the first half and the chorus are mid-tempo, so it should be relatively approachable.
Another nice point is that the overall vocal range sits on the lower side.
