Songs That Make You Sound Good at Karaoke (41–50)
Adult Chick Childrenyama
This song was released for streaming on October 3, 2025, and is used as the opening theme for the TV anime “SANDA.” It’s a band-driven track that really makes the most of yama’s vocal qualities! The chorus doesn’t go too high, so I think many of you will be able to sing it in chest voice.
What to watch out for when singing are the tempo and your breathing.
There are a lot of lyrics, and it’s the kind of song where you need to articulate each word clearly, so be careful not to run out of breath or get left behind by the tempo.
It might be better to first get used to the melody and tempo with humming or lip rolls.
For lip rolls, I recommend using enough air that you can feel your diaphragm working.
Once you can use your breath unconsciously, you’ll find it much easier to sing!
town/cityDōmoto Tsuyoshi
Tsuyoshi Domoto’s signature song “Machi.” From start to finish, even though he sings quietly, his voice keeps resonating, doesn’t it? That’s proof that it’s resonating through the body rather than just the throat—nasal resonance is very important.
The term “nasal resonance” might sound difficult, but it’s basically what I always call “humming” in my articles.
To put it simply, it’s like humming a tune through your nose.
If you love singing, don’t you often find yourself humming without thinking about it? In fact, once you learn to use your breath properly while humming, it becomes a shortcut to singing well.
The key is not to force sound out of your throat, but to use your breath to make the sound resonate in your head.
Once you get used to it, try opening your mouth and forming words while keeping the resonance in the same place.
You can listen to his music on streaming services under the name .ENDRECHERI., so be sure to check it out!
Active Three MinutesToukyou Jihen
Tokyo Jihen is a band centered around Seiji Kameda, featuring Ringo Sheena as the vocalist.
Although the band disbanded in 2012, they left behind numerous hit songs, so many people—even teens—are likely familiar with them.
While they’re known for their uncommon, complex chord progressions in Japanese music, the vocal parts are surprisingly on the easier side.
Since Ringo Sheena herself isn’t the type of singer who relies solely on vocal prowess, those who lack confidence in their singing should definitely look to her as a reference!
It’s Who We AreNulbarich
Nulbarich is a band centered around singer-songwriter JQ.
It’s pronounced “Nul-bah-rich.” Their sound has a stylish, dry vibe.
You can feel that personality in “It’s Who We Are” as well.
To put it simply, it’s like Gen Hoshino’s sound pushed all the way into chic.
It’s a cool, guitar-driven track, but surprisingly the vocals aren’t very difficult, so give it a try!
Biri MillionYuuri
Yuuri is a nationally popular singer-songwriter.
He’s known for being able to sing anything, from ballads to intense rock numbers.
One of his hit songs is Bilimillion.
While the arrangement has a somewhat ennui vibe, the vocal line is surprisingly rough, with shouts appearing at key moments.
If you can’t produce natural-sounding shouts like Yuuri does, try raising the key until the shouts come out more naturally.
