to clear up (weather)Yorushika
This is Yorushika’s 17th digital-only single, released in January 2024.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, broadcast on the Nippon TV network.
The most important key to singing this song well is how effectively you can express dynamics between the chorus and the other sections.
To put it very simply: aim for a firm, powerful delivery with strong projection in the chorus, and in the non-chorus sections, keep the tone soft yet never weak.
In practice, this kind of vocal expression is quite challenging, but if you pull it off, you’re sure to earn praise from those around you.
In the final a cappella part, sing even more attentively and dynamically, okay?
Feel fine!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!

UNDEADYOASOBI
YOASOBI is a music duo that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
If you’re a woman, chances are you’ve got at least one YOASOBI song in your karaoke repertoire, right? Among their many popular tracks, the one I especially recommend is UNDEAD.
It features hallmark YOASOBI traits: a fast-paced song structure and a vocal line that interweaves chest voice and falsetto.
It doesn’t demand much in terms of techniques like vibrato or shouting, but the pitch control is extremely challenging—so definitely give it a try.
idolYOASOBI
It’s YOASOBI’s 19th digital single, released in April 2023.
It’s used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko.” The original vocal track features a distinctly Vocaloid-like singing style and sound processing.
When singing this at karaoke, the key point is how well you can reproduce that “mechanical feel.” Study the original carefully and practice balancing the “human touch” in the spoken-style lines with the melody’s “mechanical quality.” Of course, precise pitch and rhythm are essential, so it’s quite challenging—but if you can pull it off, you’re sure to draw attention from those around you!
Medianochezutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
This song was released for streaming on January 29, 2026, and the music video was handled by TV♡CHANY, who also worked on “Hippocampal Growing Pains” and “Can I Meet You With Cream?”.
The term “Medianoche” generally refers to a Cuban hot sandwich and is said to mean “midnight.” Among fans, it’s even called “the hardest song in Zutomayo’s catalog,” and when you listen, it’s packed with so many elements that you probably won’t be able to memorize it in one go.
In any case, it’s a song where you have to pay attention to switching between chest voice and falsetto, the rapid-fire sections, sense of rhythm, and breathing timing.
Until you get used to it, I recommend listening at a slower playback speed.
hyururira-pappatuki.
Singer-songwriter tuki., who gained nationwide popularity with “Bansanka,” continues to turn out hit numbers one after another.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Hyururirapappa.” This track is built around a Japanese-style melody and is characterized by a fast tempo.
A fast song on its own might still be manageable to sing, but this one also features repeated sections that switch back and forth between falsetto and chest voice.
In terms of pitch control, it’s an extremely challenging piece, so I encourage you to give it a try.
ObsoletemeatSatsuki
Satsuki, a Vocaloid producer who commands overwhelming authority in the high-register realm.
Active since 2019, Satsuki is especially well known for Mezmerizer, which is still fresh in many people’s minds.
I bet plenty of you have tried tackling it at karaoke, right? Their new track is Obsolmeat.
As with their previous works, this piece is arranged to spotlight the high range.
Beyond the extreme pitch, it’s a tough song that demands stamina, since the high parts run from start to finish.
