Figure

A masterpiece whose refined and calm musicality evokes the night, “Sugata.” In terms of genre, it’s an orthodox J-pop piece, and the vocal line is crafted simply to suit the Japanese vocal range.

While the melody is generally steady with few dramatic shifts, a slightly higher falsetto appears in the chorus, so take care there.

Singing higher is fine, but if the key is set too low, producing the falsetto becomes unnecessarily difficult.

Be sure to determine the appropriate key and sing accordingly.

Aimyon Bleach full version

Aimyong’s classic “Bleach” features an impressive acoustic melody.

It begins with a verse in the low or lower-mid range, then gradually raises the intensity, so the overall vocal range is somewhat broad.

A wide range can feel challenging, but that doesn’t mean everything is difficult.

Since the highest parts sit within the upper-mid range—borderline high at most—once you identify the right key for you, it’s actually easy to sing.

If anything, the song spans more of the low range, making it especially recommended for women with lower voices.

Youth and youth and youthaimyon

Aimyon – Youth and Youth and Youth [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

The song “Youth and Youth and Youth,” with its languid, retro atmosphere, leaves a strong impression.

While its melody could be classified as folk, the instrumentation occasionally evokes Hawaiian music and old-school surf tunes.

The vocal line is extremely simple, with no complex rises or falls in pitch.

Since most of the song sits in the low to low-mid range, it’s easier to sing if you match the lower register rather than aiming for any higher notes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

back number - “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” Music Video (Theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love”)

An emotionally moving medium-tempo ballad that portrays the complex feelings of unrequited love—from the faint expectations on the eve of a birthday to the ache of emotions that never reach their destination.

In contrast to the happiness of a birthday, the loneliness and the sorrow of being unable to express one’s feelings straightforwardly resonate with a delicate melodic line.

Released in February 2019, the song was featured as the theme for the TBS drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love,” and was also included on the album “MAGIC.” With vocals that gently embrace the bittersweet emotions of love that everyone has experienced, it’s a song well-suited for karaoke, where it can be performed in a calm, composed manner.

Important thingsback number

Daijinakoto

A warm ballad that gently depicts the misunderstandings, conflicts, and the importance of trust between lovers.

The relationship—born of strong feelings for the other person—that can bring about anxiety, hesitation, and sometimes arguments is portrayed from a down-to-earth perspective.

Released as a coupling track to the single “Hanataba” in June 2011, it was also chosen as the ending theme for NHK’s documentary program “Mirai e no Tobira.” With its calm melody line, this song is considered relatively easy to sing among back number’s tracks.

Because it invites heartfelt singing even at karaoke, it’s a perfect choice when you want to think of your partner or someone dear to you and convey your honest feelings.
