A gemlike love song released in February 2025 that richly portrays the sweetness and ache of first love.
Carried by a gentle, companionable melody, the fragility and sorrow of love are delicately woven together.
Celebrating Midori Oka’s 20th anniversary since her debut, this work beautifully harmonizes Reiji Mizuki’s lyrics with Masato Sugimoto’s composition to sensitively express a woman’s heart swayed by love.
Like soap bubbles, a fleeting romance and the anxious feelings blown by the wind are tenderly sung in a clear, transparent voice.
A recommended track for those who want to empathize with tender yet bittersweet emotions.
Song of the Actor DogSARD UNDERGROUND
A noble and poignant ballad that weaves a sorrow-tinged tale.
Based on the true story of a stray dog who found success as an actor at a film studio, SARD UNDERGROUND portrays it with warmth and compassion.
Centering on a single dog whose fate shifts from stray to performer, the song tenderly sings of the bonds formed with the studio staff and the love he continued to believe in even after being abandoned for human convenience, set to a gentle, heartrending melody.
Released in September 2023, this piece is a track that firmly embodies SARD UNDERGROUND’s musicality and a message of animal welfare.
It is a gem that resonates deeply in the heart when the desire to cherish the ones you love grows strong.
Promise, see you!Kyoko Kishi
This is the ending theme of the 1994 film “The Secret Treasure of Buri Buri Kingdom.” It’s a cute song about vowing to reunite with someone you’ve been separated from.
It matches the message of the movie very well.
The tropical vibe of the music makes it a relaxing and pleasant listen.
Use a Spirit Bomb for the “ya” stuff!!Hironobu Kageyama
This is the ending theme of the movie “Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiyan Son Goku.” It features Hironobu Kageyama’s powerful vocals and lyrics sprinkled with technique names from the series, such as “Spirit Bomb” and “Kaio-ken.” It’s a track where a positive message that inspires courage and hope matches perfectly with an energetic melody.
Highly recommended when you want to try something new or boost your motivation!
A Soft DayKazuyoshi Saito
It begins gently with layered choruses going “pa-pa-pa-pa,” and though the acoustic guitar’s soft strumming keeps the sound unfolding softly, the lyrics are anything but soft.
Kazuyoshi Saito often takes everyday conversation and day-to-day happenings and suddenly steers them toward a big theme; this song follows that progression too, with its big theme being “an incredible love.”
YummyJustin Bieber
Blending pop and R&B into an upbeat track, the sexy, sweet vocals create a perfectly balanced harmony.
Sung by Justin Bieber with deep affection for his wife, this piece brims with an unforgettable charm thanks to its catchy melody and exhilarating rhythm.
Released in January 2020 as a lead single from the album “Changes,” it sparked major worldwide buzz and earned a nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards.
The fusion of bright, sparkling sonics with trap beats generates a dynamic energy that’s perfect for dance performances.
It’s an effective choice for group dance routines or event showcases where you want to captivate the audience.
Mischief SakeSachiko Kobayashi
This song, Yanchazake, is a single released by Sachiko Kobayashi in 1999.
It’s a major-key enka masterpiece that brightly sings of a woman’s heart supporting the man she loves.
It’s also very popular for karaoke, and if you like upbeat enka, you should definitely give it a try.
Both the lyrics and melody are very simple—classic, straight-down-the-middle enka—so while there are points to watch out for, such as enka-specific techniques and a wide vocal range, there shouldn’t be any issues if you’re used to singing enka.
For beginners, be sure to pay close attention to the contrast between low and high notes, and take extra care with your breathing so your voice doesn’t crack on the high notes in the soaring chorus sections.
