DiplomaTHE BOYS&GIRLS
A rock band based in Sapporo, Hokkaido, THE BOYS & GIRLS.
Let me introduce “Graduation Certificate,” a track from their album Things We Want to Cherish.
Written with the hope that the song would serve as proof of the youth they spent, it pairs intense rock sounds with lyrics that bid farewell to school.
The highlight is how it captures feelings everyone can relate to—anticipation and anxiety about the future.
The music video, which features a performance at a school, is also a helpful reference.
SO YOUNGTHE YELLOW MONKEY
The Yellow Monkey’s “SO YOUNG” is a song about the love of two people who were too young.
Released as a single in 1999, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was used as the theme song for the film “trancemission.” Composed in London during an overseas tour and recorded in New York, it’s said to be a particularly special track for Kazuya Yoshii, who wrote the lyrics and music and serves as the vocalist.
The lyrics remind us that “the present exists thanks to the past,” and the melancholic, wistful sound leaves a strong impression.

Formed in 2014, this three-piece band has drawn attention for artistry that transcends the boundaries of rock.
In 2015, they released their debut EP, “Instant Hawaii.” Their appearances at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL and the Ringo Music Festival became talking points, and their musicality has been highly praised both in Japan and abroad.
With albums like “from JAPAN” and “With Love from the 21st Century,” they continue to captivate fans with every release.

KanadeUru
A love song originally from a man to a woman, covered by the female singer Uru.
She sings it tenderly with piano accompaniment.
Uru’s unadorned voice suits “Kanade” perfectly.
It’s a wonderful cover—highly recommended for all the ladies.
Sou-shoku MelodicVarious
This is a song that begins with an intro like, “I remember the time when simply having fun together felt complete.” Perhaps because of the gently yet fiercely colored piano melody line, I can’t help but turn my thoughts to both the present and the past.
Memories that were always vividly colored, and the new moments that will continue to take on fresh colors from here on—such scenes are portrayed.
soramimiVaundy
The track “soramimi,” included on the 1st album “strobo.” It’s a memorable number featuring decadent lyrics set to a driving four-on-the-floor beat.
While there are many challenging parts—such as the fast-paced rap sections and the suddenly leaping melodies—it’s catchy, easy to memorize, and sits in a lower key, making it relatively approachable for karaoke.
However, because there are spots with pronounced dynamic shifts, I recommend practicing thoroughly so you don’t miss pitches or lose confidence in your tone.
lantern carousel (literally “revolving lantern”; also used metaphorically for a life-flashing-before-your-eyes montage)Vaundy
Vaundy, whose mellow tunes are also popular, has many fans who love his languid, ennui-tinged songs.
For those listeners, we recommend the track “Sōmatō” (“Revolving Lantern”).
This piece blends elements of indie rock and indie pop, characterized by a laid-back feel throughout.
While the chorus requires a powerful delivery, the long tones use a “fall” technique—gently dropping the pitch—which makes it easier to sing even for those who aren’t confident with their breathing.
