Heralding springyama
Yama’s “Haru wo Tsugeru” suddenly drew a lot of attention.
Some of you might recognize the opening phrase.
However, when you actually try singing it, it’s known for being difficult due to its dramatic jumps in pitch.
The rhythm is crucial and the tempo is on the faster side, so it’s best to learn it slowly, step by step at first.
YouTube lets you change the playback speed, so I recommend using that.
When you sing, try not to push on the high notes; if you stay relaxed, you’ll be able to use your falsetto effectively.
It might help to practice singing lightly, with a bit of bounce.
As you get a feel for the melody line, you’ll naturally figure out where to place accents and where to cut off your voice.
Once you’re comfortable, try using a bit more breath—switching between chest voice and falsetto should then feel more natural.
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!
AWAKEHoshimachi Suisei
Suisei Hoshimachi is one of the most active VTubers in Japan right now.
Her nationwide hit “Bibideba” is probably still fresh in your memory.
She continues to release hit numbers, but the one I especially want to recommend is “AWAKE.” This track leans more toward dance music, featuring vocals that demand smoothness within their power.
There’s a fair amount of falsetto and a wide vocal range, so it’s a song that calls for solid overall singing ability and a strong sense of rhythm.
A world where the sun does not riseAimer
This song, which is also the theme for “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc The Movie Chapter 1: Akaza Returns,” spans about E3 to E5, so I think it’s quite challenging to sing on a first try.
When I first listened, Aimer’s English-like pronunciation made me wonder, “Is this a Western song?” but it was solidly in Japanese (lol).
In the A section, the phrases are sung one by one in the lower range, but from around the B section it gradually becomes more emotional.
There are plenty of high notes, but rather than belting them in chest voice, using a stronger head voice brings out both the poignancy and the power, which better matches the song’s mood.
From low to high parts, try singing with your eyebrows raised to help keep the pitch stable!
beautiful womanchanmina
Chanmina is one of Japan’s leading female rappers.
She has many hit tunes, but the song I especially recommend is Bijin.
The toughest part of this track is definitely the final chorus.
Usually, a final chorus is just a variation of the main hook, but here it functions more like a bridge (C melody), unfolding a melody that’s completely different from the earlier choruses.
That’s where the mixed voice comes in—and it’s extremely difficult.
Maintaining high notes with power is tough, so if you’re confident in your vocal skills, give it a try.
Fighting My WayHatsuboshi Gakuen, Giga, Hanami Saki
This is a character song from the game “Gakuen Idolmaster,” commonly called Gakumas, and it’s the solo track of Saki Hanami, whom my student called the final boss! I tried singing this song at karaoke myself, but it’s absolutely not something you can sing just from casually listening to it! The tempo is fast, and the melody keeps coming at you in waves, so unless you really listen carefully and get to the point where you can hum along, it’s pretty tough to pull off at karaoke…
In fact, Gakumas features a lot of songs made by Vocaloid producers, so most of them are apparently quite challenging.
It’s a fun song just to listen to, and if you can sing it, it’s both cool and super satisfying! I recommend humming when you’re trying to memorize the song.
Don’t push from your throat—try humming lightly so the resonance sits around your brow/forehead area.

Feel fine!NEW!Kuraki Mai
Mai Kuraki’s signature song “Feel fine!” The title means “feeling good” in English, and it’s a perfect early-summer pop tune that was used in the 2002 SEA BREEZE commercial.
A hallmark of Mai Kuraki’s singing style is her breathy delivery, where the breath comes before the voice.
If you practice as though you’re singing with the “h” sound, you’ll be able to use more breath and should find high notes easier to sing.
Rather than power, aim for an overall light touch.
Since it leans toward an R&B groove, it might work well to sing with a smile while taking light steps!
