Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU
This is the 15th single by GMU, the idol group serving as sightseeing ambassadors for Aomori City.
The song incorporates elements of Baroque music and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.
I think it’s a track that can be performed solo and still sound cool and exciting! Listening from the A melody, it gives the impression of having quite a lot of low notes.
High notes can be easier to hit when you project your voice with energy, but low notes are the opposite: if you use plenty of breath and release your voice slowly, as if right in front of you, it becomes easier to stay on pitch.
There are many tips for this, but the most important is to let a “bundle” of breath out slowly in front of you.
I used to struggle with low notes myself, but as I studied vocal training and experimented, this method made it much easier for me to sing low notes.
Since we don’t often use low voices in daily life, it’s natural not to be accustomed to them.
When you sing, try to keep these tips in mind!

Please, Bach!Hinatazaka46
A bright song with a catchy chorus melody and an appealing sense of rhythm.
Since many parts aren’t too high and can be sung without strain, it’s a relatively easy idol song for women to sing! It’s a cheerful, energetic track characteristic of Hinatazaka, so it will definitely get the crowd going! There are sections with a lot of words, but instead of trying to articulate every single syllable, you’ll sing more rhythmically if you keep it light and ride the melody.
You might initially struggle with the rhythm in the B-melody, but if you stay calm and focus on the spacing, the rhythm will lock in—so don’t worry.
Keep the meter in 4/4, and imagine resting on the first beat before singing.
Once you get that space right, it’ll sound really cool! There’s also a touch of Bach in the latter half of the song, making it irresistible for classical music fans!
Museum of the FuturePerfume
It seems there are many people who say Perfume’s songs are so fast-paced that they can’t sing them! However, “Mirai no Museum” has a relatively slower tempo, so it’s easier to get into.
Also, among Perfume’s songs, the key isn’t too high, making it perfect as a first song.
It’s a bright, upbeat track, so it’s sure to get everyone excited.
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
The decisive battle is on Friday.DREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a very lively, up-tempo song, so I recommend it as the first track at karaoke.
How about everyone singing it together? Many people probably choose a bright song for the first number, right? This song doesn’t have any extreme ranges, so it’s easy to sing and highly recommended.
Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko
When you go to karaoke for work and everyone there is from an older generation, it can be hard to decide what to sing.
Songs by Seiko Matsuda are very famous, so everyone can sing along and get into it.
They’re a pretty safe choice, so I recommend them.
Message of RougeArai Yumi
It’s a song released in 1975, back when Yumi Matsutoya was still known as Yumi Arai.
The reason it hasn’t become just a nostalgic oldie and is still widely known is probably because it was used as the opening theme for the 1989 film Kiki’s Delivery Service.
The chorus features an all-star lineup including Tatsuro Yamashita, Minako Yoshida, and Taeko Onuki, and it’s said that their harmonies further elevate the song’s quality.
This timeless classic that never fades with age is also a great choice for everyone to sing together as the first song at karaoke!
