Watch me!YOASOBI
It’s such a cheerful, bright song and ikura’s voice is super cute! It’s fun to listen to, but since the range is G3–F5, it’s really tough to sing.
While some parts have very clear, easy-to-follow rhythm, there are also Vocaloid-like melodic lines that are very YOASOBI.
Especially in the A section and the chorus, which sit in a higher register, you’ll want to make the attack of the opening words crisp and clear.
Try singing with a little squeeze in your glutes so your voice doesn’t wobble.
The B section has fast melodies, so I recommend memorizing the lyrics before singing.
It’s a cute song, so it’s important not to go expressionless—keep your facial muscles lifted! Sing with a smile so your pitch doesn’t drop!
Answer keyŌmori Motoki
This is a solo song by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, and as you might expect, it features a lot of high notes.
The range is G#3–B4, so it may be easier for women to sing.
One remarkable thing about Omori is that he switches between chest voice and falsetto far more frequently than other artists.
If you keep your eyebrows raised while singing, the transitions become smoother.
My students often say, “Omori’s eyebrows are always raised!” so please use that as a reference.
Also, since the phrases in this song are on the longer side, I recommend deciding your breath points before singing.
If you don’t have enough breath, your voice can drop out in the falsetto sections, so be sure to focus on proper diaphragmatic breathing.
It’s challenging, but it’s a cute song—once you get used to it, try singing it in a cheerful, bouncy mood!
IS THIS LOVEXG
XG, whose all-Japanese lineup recently made history as the first to close out a stage at the world-renowned Coachella 2025, continue to prove their cross-genre “X-POP” with songs built entirely on English lyrics since their debut, showcasing exceptional rap, vocal, and dance skills across the board.
The track we’re highlighting, “IS THIS LOVE,” is included on their mini-album AWE released in November 2024; it was later released as a single with an accompanying music video.
It’s a standout song with a mellow yet cool beat that lets you fully savor their vocal prowess.
The melodious rap and the soaring beauty of the chorus are especially noteworthy, but to be honest, the fact that the lyrics are all in English makes it quite a high bar for karaoke.
The catchy chorus might not be too difficult if you stick to the main melody, but if you want to recreate XG’s signature harmonies and backing vocals, try singing with multiple people and divide the parts according to each person’s strengths.
So AddictiveWashio Reina
A digital-only track by Reina Washio, former member of the Japanese female dance and vocal group E-girls, released in February 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Five Ways to Socially Destroy Your Husband.” While the song features a very striking jazzy arrangement and backing track, Washio’s wonderful vocals shine through and hold their own against the acoustic-only instrumentation.
With its complex melodic development, smooth shifts in vocal delivery to match, and the firm incorporation of a jazzy beat, it’s a very challenging song to sing.
Precisely because of that, if you can pull it off at karaoke, you’re sure to draw attention.
It’s a track I highly recommend to those confident in their singing.
Just be careful not to let your sense of the beat flatten out—doing so would ruin the effect—so pay close attention to that as you sing.
LaughobiaMINAKEKKE
MINAKEKKE is the solo project of Yui Minako.
Characterized by a sound rooted in goth, new wave, acid folk, and trip-hop, it has earned high praise from hardcore music aficionados.
The new track “Laughobia” blends acid folk and trip-hop, boasting a very wide vocal range.
Although it’s sung with a downbeat, moody delivery, the abundance of long tones likely demands more diaphragm and breath control than one might expect.
