Walking with youNovelbright

It’s a pretty difficult song that jumps straight into the chorus from the very beginning without any intro.

It’s up-tempo and very band-like, so it looks cool if you can sing it! The overall vocal range is G3–E5, and the melody moves up and down a lot.

The vibe of the A and B sections in verse 1 and verse 2 changes a bit, too.

There’s a lot to memorize, right? (lol) Even if you can get through the first verse smoothly, many people stumble on the second! My students also started by memorizing the English at the beginning of the second verse! Also, when there are lots of words, try keeping the rhythm with your hands while you sing.

There are almost no breaks in this song, so it’s pretty tough, but if you tackle it one melodic section at a time, you’ll definitely be able to sing it! You’ve got this!

PornoGraffitti is famous for their high vocal range, and I think “THE DAY” is one of their highest songs, especially at the top end.

The tempo is quite fast too, so if you’re going to sing it, it’ll be tough to keep up unless you really memorize the song first.

Also, vocalist Okano mostly uses chest voice and belts the high notes in his natural voice, but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is in falsetto.

That switch is so cool, isn’t it? Since the song is up-tempo, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of starting in the original key.

Rather than focusing on pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in just getting the notes out, but don’t forget to breathe!

This song powerfully urges you not to think with logic, but to trust your own intuition.

It’s the lead track from the album “THE ONE,” released in November 2012, and a soulful number that was honed live—performed on an arena tour even before its release.

With the question “Who are you living for?” it teaches the importance of sticking to your own style.

Many listeners have likely found encouragement in its defiant message.

It’s an anthem to play when you need the courage to follow the voice in your heart.

Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.

This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.

The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.

To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.

That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.

It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!

Penthouse is a band with both male and female vocals.

They describe their style as city soul and excel at producing glamorous, sharp tracks.

Their new song, Nonsense, showcases just that.

Along with powerful shouts, it features a variety of techniques that evoke elements of Black music like R&B and soul—such as ad-lib-style “feints” and funky falsetto.

The falsetto in the chorus is especially challenging, as it requires a sudden leap in pitch from chest voice, making it quite difficult.

The powerful message of “Take action now” resonates deeply.

Dissatisfaction with myself and those around me who won’t face forward, a tangle of complex thoughts—this song vividly depicts the feelings of someone who kept putting bandages on their emotional wounds and ran from truly facing them.

Written in March 2024 as the ending theme for the MBS/TBS drama “If You Fall in Love, the Second Time Is Better,” the track reflects Ayumu Imazu’s own experiences and underscores the importance of shedding doubt and moving forward with courage.

It’s a song that gently nudges those who, even while burdened by hesitation and regret, want to take that first step.

Up-tempo and irresistibly rhythmic, it makes you tap along.

An awe-inspiring metalcore sound that brilliantly captures the world of Attack on Titan.

Amid the intense roar woven by heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals, the protagonist’s inner conflict and resolve are vividly portrayed.

The lyrics convey a desire to protect loved ones while avoiding violence, and a determination to move forward even after losing everything.

Featured as the opening theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 from January 2022, the track also reached No.

1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.

A highly recommended song for those who want to experience SiM’s signature heavy sonic textures and profound message.
