“Y.M.C.A.” has become a staple cheer song at school events and sports competitions.

The arm-swinging choreography went viral—these days, it feels like there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know it! With an intro that instantly lifts your spirits, doesn’t it just make you smile? That smiling expression is really important: when your facial muscles naturally lift, your voice comes out more easily, making it much easier to sing! Plus, doing the choreography helps your body relax, which also makes projecting your voice easier.

Above all, the best thing is to just have fun singing it!

A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.

It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.

Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.

For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.

Light humming is also recommended.

This is the song that became famous as the commercial jingle for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Chocolate,” and I think it left a strong impression on anyone who watched those ads back then! It’s a rhythm-focused song, so you don’t have to worry much about pitch—just get into the groove and it’s a lot of fun! It’s perfect for karaoke beginners or when you want to liven up the mood! There may be a part from the middle where the melody feels a bit high if you sing it in chest voice… but don’t worry! For the high notes, just crank up your energy and project your voice as if you’re aiming far away, and the sound will come out.

Engaging your facial muscles and using gestures is important too.

Above all, have fun!

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

HONEY [15th L’Anniversary Live]
HONEYL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.

I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.

The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.

If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.

When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.

And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!

I love youSuiyōbi no Campanella

This is the second opening theme for the TV anime Ranma 1/2.

Because the lyrics prioritize catchy wordplay, including mahjong terms, you’ll need to learn the rhythm and wording, but once you lock into the groove it’s very easy to sing! The key itself isn’t high, so it’s recommended for people who like rap-style songs or aren’t comfortable with big, belted melodies.

When singing, focus on listening to the bouncy backbeat—you’ll find your body naturally moving with it.

The combination of Shihou from Wednesday Campanella on vocals and a Chinese-inspired vibe is a perfect match, so be sure to enjoy the music video as well!

It’s a cheer song imbued with the message, “No matter the era, don’t forget to smile and keep looking forward.” It was used as the theme song for the 69th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen and also as the theme music for Nippon TV’s broadcasts of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

As you listen, you’ll notice the melody stays relatively low from start to finish, so it’s recommended for singers who are strong in the low to mid-high range.

In the low notes, be careful not to let your voice get muffled so you can maintain good balance.

Rather than forcing your voice, make sure to use your breath well as you sing.

Also, lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows will brighten the tone of your voice, making it less likely to get muffled and easier to sing.

Singing with a smile versus with a blank expression gives a completely different impression, so be sure to try it.

YOASOBI’s famous song “Haruka.” For female students living in the Reiwa era, this piece could be considered a staple graduation song.

True to YOASOBI’s style, it still features drastic pitch shifts, but since there are relatively few syllables set to the main melody, it can be considered easy to sing in terms of wordiness.

However, the vocal range is quite wide—from mid1 G to hi F#—and the highest notes are fairly high, so you need to sing with a clear focus on keeping the pitch accurate.
