IYKYKXG
XG, rumored to be the most skilled Japanese girl group right now.
If you’re a woman who likes K-pop, you’ve probably heard of them.
Their hit track “IYKYK” features exceptionally demanding vocal lines and rap parts that are rare in Japan’s girl-group scene.
The difficulty is on par with K-pop, with every section incorporating Black music-style expressions such as ad-libs, falls, and other embellishments.
Feverish Demonzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The vocal range is A#3 to E5, so it’s a generally high-pitched song, but if you sing gently with a falsetto-like tone, it should be easier to hit the notes and you might be able to aim for a perfect score! If you rely only on falsetto, you might get wobbly and tired, so make sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and keeping your core stable so your voice doesn’t waver.
The rap-like part before the chorus might not even have a pitch bar, but it’s a cool section, so enjoy it and ride the rhythm as you sing! Since the tempo is fast, don’t forget to take breaths, and give your falsetto your best shot!
DIGNITYAdo
This is Ado’s 19th digital-only single, released in September 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film The Silent Service, which premiered in September 2023.
By the way, the songwriting was handled by B’z members Inaba and Matsumoto.
If you want to recreate this song in karaoke, the most important point is how well you can reproduce Ado’s own dynamic vocal style.
Even in the quieter sections, keep your voice steady and confident; and in the high notes like the chorus, be careful not to tighten your throat and produce a thin, constricted tone.

Saviortsukuyomi
This is the 13th digital single from Tsukuyomi, the music project by Vocaloid producer YurryCanon, released in July 2023.
Amid a fiercely intricate, up-and-down vocal melody, vocalist Yue delivers a wonderfully dramatic performance, expertly switching among a wide array of high tones.
If you can nail this song coolly at karaoke, you’ll definitely draw everyone’s attention! That said, it’s a pretty difficult piece to sing, so please be careful not to strain your voice.
sad to sayJASMINE
JASMINE is a female singer-songwriter known for her powerful, realistic lyrics.
Many of you may already know her, as global R&B singer Ne-Yo has also taken notice of her work.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “sad to say.” In addition to its inherently challenging vocal lines, it features R&B essentials like vocal runs, frequent use of falsetto, and very few break points—subtle elements that make it deceptively difficult to sing.
If you call it loveUru
Uru’s singing voice is known for its great delicacy and airy whisper tone.
This singing style is difficult for those who aren’t used to it; if you try to imitate it right away, you may run out of breath, your voice may become unstable, or you might even feel lightheaded, so a solid foundation in diaphragmatic breathing is essential! Also, instead of singing the A and B sections loudly, try delivering them as if you’re speaking to someone—you’ll evoke a vibe closer to Uru’s.
It’s fun when you can sing quietly without your voice getting hoarse, and it also broadens the range of songs you can perform!
filamentUru
This song, which features a piano accompaniment, matches beautifully with Uru’s heartrending vocals.
From the second verse, the band comes in, changing the atmosphere and intensifying the emotions, giving a heart-stirring impression.
Even though it’s the same chorus, the number of instruments in the backing changes between the first and second verses, so the level of excitement is completely different! The key point when singing this part is dynamics.
Try holding back your emotions in the first verse and then fully releasing them in the second, singing freely and comfortably in your sweet spot.
Uru also switches between head voice and chest voice, so be sure to listen closely for that!
