[Karaoke] A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Songs by Gen Hoshino (21–30)
EurekaHoshino Gen
This is the song released by Gen Hoshino on January 28, 2025, which became the theme for the medical drama “Madoka, 26, I’m a Resident!” The overall vocal range is D3–A4, covering the lower-mid to upper-mid range, making it a comfortable key for male singers.
It may be easier to sing if you clip the ends of phrases in the A section and stay mindful not to rush the tempo.
Also, since the song has a calm tone, avoid straining your throat: keep your facial muscles lifted so your vocal folds vibrate freely.
Imagine projecting the voice toward the front of your eyebrows or slightly upward; for low notes, send the voice forward slowly, and for high notes, add a touch of accent and release the sound a bit quicker.
In both cases, make sure to use ample breath—breathe through your mouth and sing!
DoraemonHoshino Gen
As you can tell from the title, this song was created for the work and is sprinkled with phrases inspired by the anime Doraemon.
It was written as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Treasure Island and was later adopted as the opening theme for the TV anime.
The soulful rhythm conveyed through the sound is striking, and when singing, it’s important to focus on crisp diction and rhythm.
Because the melody doesn’t move much in pitch, be sure to sing in a way that keeps the words from becoming muddled.
The repeated “do” is also a key feature of this song, so clear enunciation may be important as well.

A medium-tempo track included on the album “YELLOW DANCER.” This song, with its gently seeping sense of transience, seems perfect for those moments when you want to stay calm at karaoke.
The vocal range and pitch are average, but since the bass line and the intro start on the higher side and there’s falsetto toward the end, it might help to approach it with the idea of keeping your voice slightly higher overall.
The tempo is steady throughout, which makes it feel easier in that respect.
Its slow, stylish vibe makes it a great pick for adult listeners as well.
