Your umbrellaKimura Kaera

Kaela Kimura’s “Kimi no Kasa,” released for streaming on October 29, 2025, is the theme song for the film “Sumikkogurashi: The Sky Kingdom and the Two Kogurashi.” Listening to the track, you can tell it’s structured in a way that makes the build-up easy to grasp, and you can sing it solidly step by step in the order of verse A → verse B → chorus.
The chorus does include some high notes, but there’s no need to belt them out.
It’s perfectly fine to use falsetto for the high notes to evoke the gentle world of Sumikkogurashi.
Also, while the chorus may feel high, if you think you’re tone-deaf, you’ll likely find the higher notes actually easier to produce—so sing out with confidence!
Excuse me for intruding.aimyon

This is a guitar-forward track by Aimyon, released on October 22, 2025, as a coupling song with “Venus Belt.” It’s neither fast nor slow, and once you learn it, it should be very easy to groove to! The chorus sits in a key that’s comfortable for women to sing, so even if you think you’re tone-deaf, you’ll probably be able to sing it! If you sing with a blank expression, it’s harder to hit the right pitches, so lift those facial muscles and have fun singing.
Also, swaying side to side while you sing makes it easier to keep the rhythm and fits the accents nicely, so it’s just right.
It’s a perfect vibe for karaoke too, so definitely give it a try!
CRAZZZYAooo

CRAZZZY, released exclusively via digital distribution on September 30, 2025.
The lyrics and composition were handled by Tsumiki from NOMELON NOLEMON, and the song really showcases Tsumiki’s signature style.
While CRAZZZY has a relatively fast tempo, the rhythm stays steady, so once you lock into the tempo, you’ll definitely be able to sing it well.
The vocal range sits in the mid to slightly high register, so either adjust the key to a comfortable range or keep your resonance forward in your head to project without straining your throat.
As long as you’ve got groove and momentum, you can make it sound cool! I’m a fan of this artist too, so if you want more tips for singing it, I’d be happy to give you advice!
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon

Released in 2015 as their 11th single, it was also used in the film score for the movie Bakuman.
Inspired by the film’s story about two young men striving to become manga artists, “Shin Takarajima” was created with the theme of “drawing lines” and incorporates retro elements.
It’s a simple, easy-to-remember song.
In conclusion
We introduced recommended songs for beginners by instrument part—did you find any you’d like your band to cover? If you go through this article together as a group while choosing songs, I think you’ll be able to pick ones at just the right difficulty.
If you’re unsure—like “the guitar is easy, but the drums are hard…”—I also recommend simplifying certain sections so they’re easier to play.
Wishing you a wonderful stage debut!
