Southern All Stars’ classic song “Kotodama of Love ~Spiritual Message~.” Many people have probably heard it often at karaoke but didn’t know the title.
Among Southern All Stars’ songs, this one boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges.
Not only is the range narrow, but it also centers on the low-to-mid register where male voices are most comfortable, so you’re unlikely to find it difficult from a vocal production standpoint.
The vocal line is gentle with little ups and downs, so be sure to give it a try.

Natsu (I Can’t Say Anything…
Summer), is the summer version of Nani mo Ienakute from their 1990 album.
Plenty of people likely admire Koichi Nakamura’s husky voice—radiating mature charm and allure—and sing it at karaoke.
