Cool Songs That Men Will Look Awesome Singing (21–30)
poofKing Gnu
King Gnu is a band that has gained popularity for its highly original musicality.
While they have many tastefully crafted songs, they’re also known for having plenty of difficult ones.
Among their catalog, the track I especially recommend is Doron.
Known as the theme song for the film “Stolen Identity 2,” it has a gritty atmosphere and a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A# to hi A#.
On top of that, the melodic leaps up and down are quite intense, but the most challenging parts are the chorus and the C section.
When the chorus and C section hit, the tempo jumps up all at once, leaving few breathing points; combined with the sharp rises and falls in pitch, it makes nailing the intonation extremely difficult.
VanillaGACKT
It was GACKT’s second single and one of his signature songs.
It’s characterized by sexual, provocative lyrics and a distinctive sound that incorporates ska rhythms.
It reportedly reached No.
4 on the Oricon weekly chart and sold about 250,000 copies.
It might be hard to imagine for people who mainly know songs from the Reiwa era, but GACKT has a very wide vocal range and outstanding singing ability.
In Vanilla, the range spans B2 to C5, so many people actually trying to sing it will probably think, “It’s low and it’s high!” The tempo is fast, and the key modulates in the final chorus, pushing the pitch even higher, so it may be tough to nail on a first try.
Make sure to resonate solidly in your chest so you can sing it powerfully!
IKAROSKing Gnu
IKAROS by King Gnu, a song driven by an indie-style melody that sparked a boom from 2022 to 2023.
While its very relaxed tempo and expansive falsetto and mixed voice are striking, the truly challenging aspect of this piece actually lies in the low notes.
The highest note is hi C#—not extraordinarily high—but partway through the song, low-note phrases suddenly appear.
The lowest note there is low C#, which is quite difficult even for the average male singer, so it’s fair to say this song ranks at S-class difficulty.
familieMrs. GREEN APPLE
A song that portrays the bonds with family and loved ones has arrived from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Also featured as the commercial song for Honda’s new FREED, this track is marked by a refreshing melody and a powerful beat.
It warmly sings of life’s journey, inner struggles, and the ties with family.
Released in August 2024 as the finale of five consecutive monthly releases, the song showcases the band’s musical evolution.
It’s perfect for moments when you want to feel your connection with someone important, or reflect on your own growth.
Why not sing it at karaoke for someone you cherish and reaffirm how much you mean to each other?
To new loversback number
This work, which sings of a bittersweet love, captivates with its sweet, aching melody and lyrics that resonate with the heart.
Chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Umi no Hajimari” (The Beginning of the Sea), it beautifully conveys the protagonist’s complex emotions.
It weaves in a variety of feelings toward those who watch over you by your side and those you want to cherish.
Released in July 2024, this song is a gem packed with back number’s appeal.
Recommended for anyone who wants to reflect on romance and family bonds.
Try singing it to the important person right in front of you.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is known for their falsetto and mixed voice.
A song that perfectly fits this theme is definitely “Bokuno Koto”! It was chosen as the support song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
When you sing it, if you switch between parts sung entirely in falsetto and parts delivered powerfully with mixed voice, you’ll add impact and really impress those around you.
One thing to watch out for when switching vocal qualities is that if you change the place where you produce the sound, your balance will suffer and the transitions between chest voice and falsetto won’t be smooth.
Keep focusing on producing the sound from the vocal folds at all times.
The impression of your voice changes depending on whether you project it forward from the vocal folds or direct it backward.
Try different approaches, and when you sing while sending your voice in the direction that feels easiest for you, you’ll be able to produce both falsetto and mixed voice comfortably!
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism’s hit “Mixed Nuts,” best known as the theme song for the popular anime SPY×FAMILY, is one of their most beloved tracks, yet it contains several elements that make it quite challenging despite its catchy melody.
Most notably, the vocal range: including the falsetto parts, it spans from mid1 D# to hihi A#, which is extremely wide, and the chorus repeatedly hits hi C#.
The song stands out for its overall high tessitura, making it a piece that demands strong vocal stamina.
