Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

Amid the rush of work and studies on weekdays, this is a cheer song about heading out on the weekend to see the person who makes you shine—an emotion anyone can relate to.

Its refreshing sound expresses the determination to keep going, even in tough times or when you’re close to giving up, because you want to meet the hero who lifts you up.

Released in February 2017 on the album “SHISHAMO 4,” the track was also featured the same year as the CM song for NTT Docomo’s “Docomo Student Discount,” which helped boost the band’s popularity.

It was additionally adopted as a support song for Kawasaki Frontale, with the music video filmed at their home stadium, Todoroki Athletics Stadium.

It’s a perfect song for anyone who wants to belt it out while thinking of that special presence in their heart.

Sketchaimyon

AIMYON – Sketch [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon’s new song “Sketch.” Lately, many of Aimyon’s tracks have leaned toward a more dramatic feel and tended to be challenging in terms of vocal lines.

This one is different.

Crafted as a classic J-pop ballad that could be seen as a return to her roots, it features a relaxed tempo and a relatively even vocal line, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

There are virtually no difficult sections, so it’s a song well worth adding to your repertoire.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento

Live – Kento over here and “Yes, with pleasure.”

This is an innovative song distinguished by its bright, refreshing melody and catchy, Morse code–like sounds.

While delivering a message that encourages listeners to face mental health with courage, it also carries the uplifting vibe of a pep song that energizes its audience.

Released by Kocchinoken-to in May 2024, the track broke into the top 20 on the Billboard JAPAN charts and led to winning the Best New Artist Award at the 66th Japan Record Awards.

On social media, the “Giri-Giri Dance” became a hot topic, and a collaboration with Sanrio characters was realized.

With its upbeat, positive tempo, it’s a feel-good song to sing at karaoke—perfect for gatherings with friends.

Don’t cheat on me.Koresawa

Koresawa “Don’t You Cheat on Me” [Music Video]

Among female listeners, especially those in their 20s, singer-songwriter Koresawa enjoys overwhelming support.

Although she has built a considerable career since her debut, her sweet-and-sour style remains intact, and in “Uwaki Shitara Akan de” (“Don’t You Dare Cheat”), she delivers a cute message that literally warns her boyfriend not to cheat.

The vocal line in this track features very few long tones and stays within a narrow range.

Since Koresawa’s songs often sit in higher registers, this is a must-listen for women seeking an easier Koresawa track to sing.

Knock Knockpirafu seijin

Pilafian – Knock Knock

One of the most talked-about rappers in the current MC battle scene is Pilaf Seijin.

He has a lot of haters, but just as many fans, and his streaming numbers are exceptional for a rapper.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Knock Knock.

While it’s not a particularly low-range piece, the vocal line is simple, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

You know,Porukadotto Sutingurei

Polkadot Stingray “Ano ne,” MV

Polkadot Stingray is a band that keeps rolling out hit numbers with their catchy musicality.

Their new song “Ano ne,” is also showing signs of becoming a hit.

This piece tends to be perceived as somewhat high.

In reality, while there isn’t much in the low range, the ostensibly high parts often sit in the mid-to-high range, making it easier to sing than it sounds.

I think the toughest spot is the long sustained note at the end of the chorus, but since it’s also a peak moment, make sure to take a big breath during the rest right before it, and avoid pushing too much volume on the long tone.

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika’s latest song, “Hebi” (“Snake”).

Since releasing “Aporia,” Yorushika has continued putting out lower-key tracks, and this new song is also arranged within a narrow range that’s easy for anyone to sing.

This work doesn’t feature the extremely low phrases that are characteristic of Yorushika.

Rather than being a “low” song, it feels more like a piece with a limited vocal range, and in keeping with that, the vocal line is crafted to be gently shaped with minimal rises and falls.

Because the instrumentation is somewhat subdued, be mindful of fade-outs and breathing when singing so the vocals don’t stick out awkwardly.
