Rira Ikuta “Humming” Official Music Video

Although Rira Ikuta is known for her captivating high notes, Humming is, as the title suggests, a song you sing in a relaxed, humming style.

There isn’t much movement up and down in pitch, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Since there’s humming in the intro, I’d love for you to join in.

When you relax and hum, it becomes much easier to stay on pitch, and your vocal cords resonate properly rather than singing from the throat.

The trick is to take in plenty of air through your mouth and let it bounce lightly! One thing to watch out for is that if you end up making sound from your throat, your singing voice will stay throaty.

So, make a surprised expression and let the resonance lightly buzz between your eyebrows.

If you open your mouth just a little, the resonance will more easily travel to the area between your eyebrows.

The key is to keep it light and effortless, without tension.

The higher the notes get, the more breath you need, so it’s important to inhale and exhale for each phrase!

Nagisaimase

【imase】Nagisa（MV）

Singer-songwriter imase, whose track “NIGHT DANCER” recently became a global hit, is still fresh in our memories.

He also made waves by making his major debut just one year after starting his music career.

This song is a refreshing, danceable number inspired by 1980s city pop.

The retro synthesizer tones evoke the arrival of summer and feel so pleasant.

The lyrics feature a strong-willed woman who boldly pushes a romance forward, yet the nuanced shifts in his vocals convey her fragility too, making your heart skip a beat.

Released in May 2023, the track was also used as the theme song for the news program ABEMA Prime, so many listeners may find it familiar.

It’s a stylish song you’ll want to play on your way to school, and it’s included on his first album, Bonsai.

EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella

Wednesday Campanella “Edison”

Since the Reiwa era began, many “cute” songs have come out, but isn’t Wednesday Campanella’s “Edison” in a different league of cuteness? It was also the first mega-hit after Utaha took over as vocalist, and I think many people were surprised at the uniquely cute quality of her voice at the time.

Although a falsetto appears in the chorus, the pitch only goes up to hi C# and isn’t particularly difficult.

The chest-voice range is around mid2B to hi A, which isn’t especially wide.

Also, regarding the hi A notes, even if the pitch is a little off, it can help convey a youthful feel, so there’s no need to be overly strict about pitch.

More Berry SummerCUTIE STREET

[LIVE Footage] CUTIE STREET “More Berry Summer” 📍Makuhari Messe, International Exhibition Hall, Halls 9–11 (2025/7/21)

It’s a song packed with phrases about youth, friendship, and first love, so it really resonates with teenagers and is easy to sing in your own words.

It’s also performed at summer festivals and has lots of live-style callouts, so it should get everyone hyped at karaoke! The melody is catchy, and the vocal range doesn’t go that high.

Up to the chorus, there’s more call-and-response than “singing,” so enjoy it together with everyone, then switch to a “singing” mindset from the chorus to add dynamics and really bring the song to life.

For the high parts, try singing as if you’re sending your voice far away—your voice will come out more easily, so give it a try! And since the groove is key, the best way is to keep the rhythm with your body while you sing.

the worst communitytuki.

tuki. 'The Worst Community' Official Audio

This is a song by tuki., an active high school singer-songwriter, released on August 27, 2025.

The lyrics vividly portray the everyday struggles and the physical and mental tightness that teens often face—like packed trains, uniform skirts, social media, and stan culture.

The song has an up-tempo, rock-infused feel, so it seems perfect for karaoke when you want to “shout out your everyday feelings” and get the crowd hyped! The melody is simple, and the chorus repeats the same phrase, so get the people around you to sing along there.

Outside the chorus, there are lots of wordy parts.

Since the pitch sits low, avoid singing from the throat; keep your energy up, raise your eyebrows, and deliver it in a spoken style.

In the final chorus, let the flow carry you and project with momentum—you’ll lock into the rhythm and it’ll feel great to sing!
