Let yourself go with the flow of timeNEW!Teresa Teng
Her 16th single, “Toki no Nagare ni Mi o Makase,” released in February 1986, is a landmark of Showa-era kayōkyoku that deftly incorporates a canon progression.
With lyrics by Toyohisa Araki and music by Takashi Miki, the song stands out for being written in a major key, in contrast to its predecessors “Tsunogai” and “Aijin,” which portrayed heartache in a minor mode.
The chord progression in the A section employs a variant of the classic canon progression, and its smooth motion from tonic to subdominant harmonizes beautifully with the lyrics’ theme of surrendering to fate.
It reached No.
6 on the Oricon Weekly chart and No.
1 on cable radio, won the Gold Award at the 28th Japan Record Awards, and achieved the unprecedented feat of taking the Grand Prix for three consecutive years at the 19th Japan Cable Radio Awards.
Sometimes, old storiesNEW!Tokiko Kato
Included on the 1986 album “MY STORY/Toki ni wa Mukashi no Hanashi wo,” this song is a folk-leaning ballad written and composed by Tokiko Kato herself.
Unfolding as a gentle waltz in 3/4 time, its chord progression is based on a classic canon progression, repeating around the A section to create a calm, conversational feel.
Chosen as the ending theme for the 1992 film Porco Rosso, it became widely beloved alongside the film’s worldview.
It’s a perfect piece to accompany a quiet moment of looking back on one’s youth.
Please let me pass.NEW!Nao Toyama
Sung by Nao Toyama, this is the opening theme for the TV anime Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi II.
Released in November 2025, the song was written and composed by Masayoshi Oishi.
It’s a fast-paced pop tune with a Japanese flair that musically depicts human connections and a sense of belonging, set in the otherworld of Kakuriyo.
A lively, celebratory anisong!
Tonight the Streets Are OursNEW!SHANK
It’s not just about momentum—this is a track brimming with expansiveness and exhilaration.
Featured on the December 2013 album “Baitfish Attitude,” this song is a cover of an original by British singer-songwriter Richard Hawley, rearranged brilliantly by SHANK into a melodic hardcore style.
Carrying a message of fearless feeling and the sense that tonight this town is ours, Shohei Ihara’s clear, soaring vocals deliver it with power.
Among an album packed with intense melodic hardcore, this track brings a positive sense of release.
Its breezy rhythm makes you want to race through the city, and it’s full of the kind of appeal that makes you want to sing along with everyone at a live show.
reasonable; natural; proper; fault; especiallyNEW!yuzu
Released in August 2025, this is a rock ballad chosen as the theme song for the TV anime “Pokémon: Episode Mega Evolution,” powerfully singing about the meaning of life and the resolve to live! The Japanese flavor you feel right from the intro is a great touch too.
Since it’s by Yuzu, the vocal range is fairly wide at F3–B4.
However, there aren’t any excessively high notes, so as long as your timing is on point, it’s a song you can sing entirely in chest voice.
Avoid straining your throat—lift your soft palate and keep the breath flowing steadily.
When you make a surprised face, do you feel the space opening toward the back of your mouth? That’s your soft palate.
Momentum matters, so take a solid breath and project your voice without hesitation! It’s also recommended to ride the rhythm and sing with higher energy to boost the vibe.
TwinkleStartNEW!Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu’s “Twinkle Start” is set for release in 2025, and it feels like a song that gently speaks of hope for the future.
Its relaxed tempo is striking, and it evokes an image of earnestly reaching out to each listener’s heart.
The lyrics, which depict how one wants to spend time with someone special, are also memorable, conveying a sense of savoring happiness.
The song is featured in a Pokecolo Twin commercial starring group members Hiyori Sakai and Aki Sugata.
It expresses the excitement of the moment when the two’s story begins.
aconiteNEW!Utsu-P
An aggressive yet beautiful duet where a heavy metal sound fuses exquisitely with the clarity of synthesized vocals.
Created by Utsu-P and released in November 2025, the track features a call-and-response structure between two voices: Miyamai Moka from Synthesizer V 2 AI and Bon Soyogi from the project involving voice actor Yuki Kaji, each showcasing a distinct character.
Over roaring low-end guitar riffs and high-velocity drums, lyrics themed around highly poisonous plants oscillate between sweetness and peril—truly breathtaking.
The loud, driving soundscape expresses an inner urge for self-destruction and twisted emotions in turmoil.
Utsu-P has previously released albums such as “Akuasobi” and “RENAISSANCE,” and this song follows in that lineage.
Recommended for those carrying a sense of lingering gloom or anyone who wants to be shaken by intense music!
