THE DAYPorno Graffitti
PornoGraffitti is famous for their high vocal range, and I think “THE DAY” is one of their highest songs, especially at the top end.
The tempo is quite fast too, so if you’re going to sing it, it’ll be tough to keep up unless you really memorize the song first.
Also, vocalist Okano mostly uses chest voice and belts the high notes in his natural voice, but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is in falsetto.
That switch is so cool, isn’t it? Since the song is up-tempo, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of starting in the original key.
Rather than focusing on pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in just getting the notes out, but don’t forget to breathe!
weedVery Good Man
An electrifying cheer song from Berry Goodman! No matter how many times you get knocked down, you rise up and face forward—its energetic message lights a fire under an indomitable spirit and resonates in your heart.
It shakes the listener deeply, reminding us that not just the result, but the journey to get there is what truly shines.
Released as a digital single in August 2022, the track also became beloved by many baseball fans as the theme song for Asahi Broadcasting Radio’s “ABC Fresh Up Baseball.” It’s a masterpiece that powerfully pushes forward everyone striving toward their goals—and the high school ballplayers chasing the white ball.
The Great Time KillerLovely Summer-chan
How about a number that makes your body move, infused with the scent of ’90s British rock? In Lovely Summer-chan’s work, the shift in mindset from breaking free of everyday claustrophobia to taking a step back out into the world is deftly portrayed.
The theme that asks, “Is life a grand way to kill time?” resonates deeply with listeners.
This track is the lead song from the mini-album Music For Walking (Out Of The Woods), released in January 2025.
It could be a perfect pick for bands who want to feel that live sense of unity.
Go for a distorted, thick guitar tone on the intro riff; keep the verse tight with crisp, light cutting; then open up with expansive strumming in the chorus.
The guitar solo in the interlude is another highlight.
Keep the groove front and center as a band, and have fun playing it.
THE SEQUELNidaram (Namidaruma)
It hits you with a piercing sense of realism and a beat that creeps up and takes over.
It’s a track by the hip-hop crew Nujabes (Namida Dama), released as a single in June 2025 and included on the album “GODBREATH BUDDHACESS (THE RE-UP EDITION)” released the same month.
This album is a reassembled version of the acclaimed 2019 release “GODBREATH BUDDHACESS,” now featuring this new track.
The members’ deeply personal experiences are etched into the lyrics, intertwining with rich, weighty production that grips the listener and doesn’t let go.
If you want to feel the true air of the streets, don’t miss it.
The RumblingSiM
An awe-inspiring metalcore sound that brilliantly captures the world of Attack on Titan.
Amid the intense roar woven by heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals, the protagonist’s inner conflict and resolve are vividly portrayed.
The lyrics convey a desire to protect loved ones while avoiding violence, and a determination to move forward even after losing everything.
Featured as the opening theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 from January 2022, the track also reached No.
1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.
A highly recommended song for those who want to experience SiM’s signature heavy sonic textures and profound message.

The Revenge Of Kero KeroeX-Girl
eX-Girl, who claim to hail from Planet Kerokero and enjoy a cult following thanks to their unparalleled musical style and performances, are a truly unique act.
Formed in 1997 under the production of Hoppy Kamiyama, they developed an experimental sound that fused psychedelia, noise, and prog.
Despite having almost no prior musical experience, they released their debut album “Heppoco Pou” in 1998, performed at SXSW the following year in 1999, and drew attention with the album “Kero! Kero! Kero!”.
Their handmade, eccentric costumes and intense live shows even earned praise from overseas artists.
