jealousNakajima Kento
This song captures the ache of a long-distance relationship.
Released in December 2024 as a pre-release track from Kento Nakajima’s solo debut album “N / bias,” it expresses possessiveness and jealousy toward a lover through a pop sound and his refreshing vocals.
The frustration of not being able to express one’s feelings openly is so palpable it makes your heart skip a beat.
Why not listen to it while thinking of someone special?
It seems like it has to be you.Ōishi Masayoshi
Masayoshi Oishi is a singer-songwriter who has gained popularity, including through his interactions with Junichi Kato.
He is also known for his wide vocal range, and his high-register singing is highly praised by many fans.
In his famous song “Kimi ja Nakya Dame Mitai,” you can hear beautiful falsetto in key moments.
The transition from chest voice to falsetto is exceptionally smooth, so be sure to pay attention to those parts when you listen.
NEON TOKYOFUJIBASE
FUJIBASE is a multi-artist who does everything from track-making to drum performance.
Known for his highly sophisticated musicality, he’s often compared to Vaundy due to their similar style.
Among FUJIBASE’s songs, I especially recommend “NEON TOKYO.” While it features some falsetto parts, most of the chorus sits in the mid-to-low range, which helps highlight the richness of a lower male voice.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
YesterdayOfisharu Higedan Dism
This song was written as the theme for the 2019 animated film HELLO WORLD.
Set to a striking sound featuring piano and strings woven by Satoshi Fujiwara, it conveys the anguish of sacrificing something to protect family and friends, as well as the swell of budding romance.
Opening the acclaimed album Traveler, the track surpassed 300 million streams in February 2023.
If you can pull off this dramatic number at karaoke, you just might capture the heart of that special someone!
presentMarushii
A warm ballad by Marcy that strikes the heart with its straightforward expression of love.
The lyrics, crafted by Yukyo Yoshida, single-mindedly wish for the other person’s happiness, like a gift itself for someone dear.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and the enveloping vocals highlight the tenderness found in everyday life.
Released in September 2024, this heartwarming song resonates not only with lovers, but also with thoughts of irreplaceable people like family and friends.
Sing it at karaoke, and it will surely wrap the listeners’ hearts in warmth.
Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi
This song, notable for its gentle acoustic guitar tones, is included on Kenshi Yonezu’s album YANKEE.
Released in April 2014, it delicately portrays the joy of meeting someone precious intertwined with a poignant sense of sadness, along with feelings that defy words.
It was also used in a Tokyo Metro commercial, marking Yonezu’s first tie-in work.
If you can master conveying these complex emotions, you might just captivate everyone at karaoke.
accent colorBialystocks
The song “Sashi-Iro,” featured in the Namacha commercial, is a classic by the band Bialystocks, who had been drawing attention since their indie days, and it saw a revival hit thanks to the ad.
The real charm of the track lies in the chorus.
The falsetto that unfolds from the gentle vocals is incredibly soothing and brings an indescribable sense of bliss.
Beyond the pleasing high notes, the subtle touches of Black music influence are another key appeal of this song.
