Pink BlueRyokushokushakai
This song is included on Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s fourth studio album, Pink Blue, which was released in May 2023.
The track we’re introducing here, Pink Blue, serves as the album’s title track, and its music video was released ahead of the album.
When singing this song at karaoke, the key points are not only how precisely you can trace the vocal melody, which moves intensely and intricately up and down, but also whether you can deliver with a powerful, resonant tone across both high and low ranges.
Combined with the slightly up-tempo feel, it’s quite a challenging song to sing; however, for those confident in their vocals, it’s one you should definitely try.
Efficiently converting breath into voice is crucial, so study that aspect as well—and be sure to practice carefully so you don’t strain your throat.
unravelAdo
Ado is a female singer whose exceptional vocal ability has earned her high acclaim within the industry.
All of her songs are quite challenging, but the one I especially recommend is Unravel.
This work is a cover of a song by TK from Ling tosite sigure, and like the original, it features extremely advanced high notes.
It’s not just about hitting high pitches; you also need to deliver them with a scream-like tone, which demands a strong foundation in vocal technique.
If you’re confident in your singing ability and expressiveness, definitely give it a try.
ChocolakatabraAdo
Ado, a singer who enjoys overwhelming support from young people, is known for her outstanding vocal ability.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Chocolacatabra.” The toughest part of this track is definitely the chorus.
On top of a sudden key change from the pre-chorus, the sharply rising and falling melodies make it one of the most challenging pieces to sing.
In particular, mastering the falsetto sections in the chorus will likely require a great deal of practice.
Be sure to check it out.
No.5LANA
Singer-songwriter LANA, a driving force in Japan’s R&B scene.
She’s also the sister of rapper LEX, and together the siblings have had a major impact on Japan’s Black music landscape.
Among LANA’s songs, the one I especially recommend is her new track, “No.5.” It’s not flashy, but because it’s rooted in R&B, you’ll hear advanced vocal techniques like ad-libs and falls woven into the details.
For many Japanese singers, whose vocals can tend to sound monotone, this might be one of the most challenging types of songs.

My sincere heartAina ji Endo
After making her mark as a member of BiSH, Aina The End has been thriving as a solo artist as well.
Many people admire her unique vocal technique that makes full use of her husky voice.
Among her works, the one I particularly recommend is “Watashi no Magokoro” (“My Sincere Heart”).
This piece features a triplet feel reminiscent of soul music, a rhythm said to be quite difficult for many Japanese singers.
On top of that, it includes shouts and ad-libs, making it quite challenging for those who mainly sing Japanese pop.
Bluermilet
Singer-songwriter milet, known for her vocals inspired by Western music, has gained widespread popularity.
Among her many hit tunes, the one I especially recommend is “Bluer.” This track is one of her works with a particularly strong Western influence.
As a result, it features advanced vocal techniques—such as ad-libs and falls—that you don’t often hear in Japanese pop.
If you’re looking to level up your detailed techniques, definitely give it a try.
that bandkessoku bando
This is a digital-only single performed by the band “Kessoku Band,” which appears in the 2022 TV anime Bocchi the Rock!.
I love Kessoku Band’s rock songs too, and I often sing “Guitar to Kodoku to Aoi Wakusei,” but “Ano Band” has a fast tempo and a very distinctive rhythm—it’s really difficult! I recommend listening to the track carefully before trying to sing it.
The timing of cutting off words in the A-melody, the timing of sustained notes in the chorus, and the fact that there’s no real breathing room once the melody starts all make it tough, so rather than trying to memorize the whole song at once, I think it’s clearer to learn it bit by bit, melody by melody, to keep things organized in your head.
Also, for the high notes like D5 and C5 in the last chorus, don’t pull the sound back—project your voice forward! Aim to throw the note with a burst of energy—keep that in mind as you sing.
