Chronostasiskinoko teikoku
When it comes to a cool track that conjures the image of two people strolling slowly down a night road, Chronostasis comes to mind.
It’s known as a signature song of Kinoko Teikoku, a band indispensable to any discussion of Japanese shoegaze and alternative rock.
The band’s performance, highlighting dreamy guitar and synth tones, creates an urban atmosphere.
The key is to sing in a relaxed state, matching the laid-back rhythm of the song.
With its soft, airy melody, it’s a number that turns a karaoke room into a chill space.
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
Contrary to the desire to meet, this back number song vividly evokes a man fretting over the distance between him and the person he likes.
Many people relate to the earnest lyrics that, while self-deprecatingly assuming he doesn’t stand a chance, still wish for a miraculous encounter.
Released in June 2013, the track is captivating for its contrast between a sense of driving speed and an awkward, tender love.
It was later used in a Kirin Beer commercial, so the melody should be familiar to everyone.
Sing it at karaoke and listeners will be drawn in by its straightforward emotion.
Why not win over the heart of someone you’re interested in with a choice that’s a little different from the usual standards?

sparklingmosao.
A one-sided love song featuring lyrics from a woman’s perspective and Mosa-o’s gentle singing voice.
For karaoke, the range is relatively narrow and easy to sing, making it a song where you can focus on expressiveness.
The overall vocal range is E3 to A#4, which is comfortable to handle, and there isn’t much falsetto.
It’s recommended to sing clearly with a chest-voice focus.
There are occasional unique rhythms, so it’s important to thoroughly go over the melody line.
Also, the key modulates in the final chorus and the pitch goes up, so rather than forcing chest voice, skillfully switching to falsetto is a good tip for hitting the notes accurately!
It doesn’t meltmakaroni enpitsu
Mokenai (Won’t Melt) has become familiar as the tie-in song for the Seventeen Ice web commercial.
It’s a coming-of-age song that Hattori wrote based on personal experiences.
The first half gently sings about the sadness of youth coming to an end, while the second half shifts gears and delivers a rap-style depiction of inner conflict.
You’ll feel as satisfied as if you had listened to two songs.
You’ll probably struggle more with the faster-tempo latter half, so focus your practice there.

A rock band that delivers a one-of-a-kind sound blending Western and Japanese music, [ALEXANDROS] released “Tsukiiro Horizon” in 2019.
The lyrics, which candidly portray the anxieties and struggles of youth, are striking.
Their message about finding the courage to move forward—even when you’re troubled or come to a standstill—really resonates.
The passionate energy also comes through in the rock sound, which is both heavy and exhilarating.
It’s a great song to sing to liven up the middle to latter part of a karaoke session.
Try delivering a cool performance that masterfully handles the lyrics mixing Japanese and English.
1.15 Million Kilometers of FilmOfisharu Higedan Dism
The song “115 Million Kilometer Film,” whose lyrics liken days spent with a loved one to movie film, strikes a chord.
It was included on Escaparade, the album released in 2018 by Official HIGE DANDism, a band leading the J-pop scene.
Over a sound with a jazzy vibe, rhythmic vocals unfold.
The lyrics honestly express the feelings of today’s youth, conveying a message that is both heartrending and heartwarming.
Because the song spans a wide vocal range, it’s a good idea to practice it in parts.
Try singing with attention to how you place accents and to the moments where you showcase high notes.
I want to tell you how I feel (my love)aimyon
Aimyon’s song “I Want to Tell You I Love You.” It’s a pop track with an urban, stylish vibe.
Its slightly languid atmosphere comes from a chord progression known as the “Maru-Sa progression,” which became famous through fellow female singer-songwriter Sheena Ringo’s “Marunouchi Sadistic.” Incidentally, the “Maru-Sa progression” is said to originate from the jazz classic “Just the Two of Us,” so dropping this bit of trivia might make you seem even more musically savvy!
