Magical Syndromeyama
The special MV theme song for “Magical Chiikawa,” titled “Magical Syndrome,” was released as a digital-only single on October 22, 2025.
The music video is also available on YouTube, featuring elements related to Chiikawa and receiving high praise from viewers.
The vocal range of “Magical Syndrome” might be a bit high, but since it’s basically sung in falsetto, if you can produce a light tone, you should be able to get proper frontal resonance and find the pitch more easily! To activate that resonance between the eyebrows, use humming.
This humming is crucial—if you tense up and force your throat, you won’t be able to stay on pitch.
Start at a volume so soft it’s almost only audible to you.
Once you get used to humming, try alternating between humming and singing; if you can sing with the same consistent sensation, you’ve got it!
Live, brilliantlyikimonogakari
This song was written as the opening theme for the sixth season of the TV anime Kingdom, and the phrase in the title, “Ikite, Sansan,” really sticks in your ears.
The range isn’t too high or too low; it sits comfortably in a register that’s easy for women to sing.
It’s also easy to catch the tempo, so it’s highly recommended for those who think they’re tone-deaf! The melody isn’t difficult either, so it’s best to sing each phrase carefully.
Rather than keeping a blank face, try raising your eyebrows and using expressive gestures, as if you’re tracing the pitch with your hands.
Also, if you sing the beginning of the C section a bit more strongly, your voice will project well and it should feel great to sing!
i love youchanmina
This is a song released in October 2025, written as the theme for the TBS Friday drama “Fake Mummy.” If you’ve been watching the show, it’ll sound familiar—you might even remember the melody! Although this track doesn’t feature any rap, it still conveys Chanmina’s world through its R&B and hip-hop elements.
The song isn’t about belting; it mainly uses a breathy, whisper-like vocal.
Even if you feel you’re tone-deaf, if you can control your breath, you can definitely sing it stylishly! First, the basic technique for singing is diaphragmatic breathing, so relax, breathe, and let your voice out.
If your chest rises when you inhale, that’s chest breathing, and you won’t be able to take in enough air.
Overall, staying loose and relaxed is key!
My subjectsKetsumeishi
A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.
It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.
Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.
The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.
For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.
Light humming is also recommended.
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!
