Songs that make you sound good at karaoke (51–60)
Hero SyndromeSochic
This is a track released on July 2, 2025 by Sochic, a male singer-songwriter based in Tokyo.
It’s a mid- to up-tempo song with clear dynamics, so it should be relatively easy to score well on.
Highly recommended if you like upbeat songs and higher vocal ranges! The A and B sections sit in the mid range and feel settled, so be careful not to let the pitch drop too far into your throat.
You’ll generally want to focus on the vocal cords and the area between the eyebrows; try singing with the image of letting the voice come forward slowly from the vocal cords.
The chorus has many words and goes higher, so if you sing each phrase carefully, both pitch and rhythm will lock in more easily.
Project your voice powerfully as if sending it far from the vocal cords—you’ll find it feels great to sing.
If you touch the dip between your collarbones, you can feel the vibration and it’s easier to grasp, so keep that in mind.
Suzume feat. ToakaRADWIMPS
The song “Suzume feat.
Toaka,” released as the theme for the film Suzume, is a grand and beautiful piece that emphasizes its worldbuilding.
Even in 2023, it continues to enjoy enduring popularity, and the key point of this track is, above all, the pitch.
Compared to typical pop music, the arrangement is extremely restrained.
As a result, even slight pitch deviations can ruin it.
However, since techniques like vibrato or ad-libs aren’t used, you could say the difficulty of the vocal line itself is relatively low.
Because you are hereUru
The first digital-only single, “Anata ga Iru Koto de,” was written as the theme song for the TV drama ‘Theseus no Fune’ (Theseus’ Ship).
The lyrics weave a message about wanting to protect someone important to you—something many listeners may find themselves relating to.
Although the song stays in a generally high register, the melody has few notes and the range isn’t very wide, so you can sing it through if you focus on hitting each note accurately.
Once you can sing it comfortably, try adding dynamics and a whispery tone to enhance your performance.
Complicitytsubakiya shijuusou
Tsubakiya Quartet, the legendary band that thrived in the 2000s.
Among their many songs, “Accomplice” is one of the sexiest.
It’s rock at its core, but it defies clear genre labels and overflows with individuality.
There’s even a rap-like section, and the vocal line is arranged in a very approachable way, so it tends to sound good at karaoke.
If you can pull this off, most women will probably fall head over heels.

Night MusicMrs. GREEN APPLE
With its very wide vocal range, Nachtmusik is a song my student—who loves Mrs.
GREEN APPLE—had been practicing for a long time.
They were originally good at falsetto, so they were thrilled, saying, “It’s gotten easier to use my chest voice, and my falsetto comes out more smoothly now!” I recommend it as a practice piece, too! First, about the range: it spans G#2 to G5, which is very wide, but the average pitch of the song is around F4 and it’s sung mostly in falsetto.
The range feels wider because there’s a section in the first verse’s A-melody that’s sung an octave lower.
Since breath control is crucial for this song, relax your body so you can use diaphragmatic breathing.
If your shoulders rise when you inhale, you’ll slip into everyday chest breathing and won’t be able to take in air as you intend.
Keep your shoulders relaxed at all times! And be sure to turn the air you inhale into actual singing when you exhale.
It has a beautiful tone, so please give it a try!
