When it comes to rock bands from the ’90s, Elephant Kashimashi is sure to be mentioned.

Their signature song “Koyoi no Tsuki no Yō ni” exudes a passionate, masculine energy.

The key to singing it well is to deliver it powerfully like the vocalist Hiroji Miyamoto, while enunciating clearly.

It’s definitely a song I’d love for you to try singing!

Wine Red Heartanzenchitai

Wine Red no Kokoro, a signature song that could be called Anzen Chitai’s breakthrough.

Lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Koji Tamaki—looking back, what a luxurious lineup.

While the chorus includes some higher notes, the song is fundamentally written in a range comfortable for male singers.

It has a mature atmosphere, so you’ll want to sing it coolly and smoothly.

When performing, switching between spoken-like delivery and full-throated singing will make it more captivating.

I definitely want you to belt the chorus! The vowel “i” and the M-line consonants can be tricky.

If you stretch “i” too horizontally, tension builds in the throat and you’ll struggle to ascend in chest voice.

Recall the sensation of humming and let the sound resonate lightly in the head.

As for the “m” sounds, since they resonate nasally, they become easier if you project the voice with some firmness.

Get Along Together — Because I Want to Give You LoveYamane Yasuhiro

Get Along Together — Because I Want to Give You LoveYamane Yasuhiro

This is a love song that Yasuhiro Yamane himself wrote for a friend who was getting married.

It became his biggest hit, continuing as a long-running success and selling over a million copies.

It also won the 26th Japan Cable Awards Best New Artist and the 35th Japan Record Awards Best New Artist, and it remains a beloved classic that’s hugely popular for karaoke.

The Fourth Avenue CafeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many hit numbers, The Fourth Avenue Cafe is renowned as a hidden gem.

It’s a piece that carries a subtle sense of emotion beneath its brightness, distinguished by vocals that appeal to the listener’s feelings.

The song’s range is quite broad, from mid1C to hiD#.

While it includes some lower notes and also reaches fairly high, which might make it seem difficult, the pitch movement isn’t very drastic, so it’s a song that’s relatively easy to keep in tune.

An emblematic work of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s 2000s era, characterized by a strong pop-rock flavor, Jiyū e no Shōtai.

Released in 2004, it has maintained enduring popularity thanks to its catchy melodies and expansive, soaring phrases.

With a vocal range of mid2A to hiE—quite wide even among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s songs—it tends to be difficult for those with a narrower range.

However, the pitch movement isn’t overly drastic, and many phrases emphasize sustain, making it relatively singable for those with higher voices.

Children, who have produced many hit ballads since the ’90s, are an artist everyone in their 40s knows when getting together for karaoke.

In particular, many people likely feel a special connection to “Dakishimetai” (I Want to Hold You).

It’s a relaxed ballad in a key that’s easy for the average male singer, so take your time and sing it with feeling.
