to youMONGOL800
Despite never being released as a single, this signature song by MONGOL800 has been featured in a variety of places, including insert tracks that color a film’s final scene, drama opening themes, and commercials.
In 2001, the album MESSAGE—featuring this track and the well-known classic Chiisana Koi no Uta—was released and became a huge hit, cementing Monpachi’s popularity.
Its straightforward lyrics about love and its fresh, powerful sound give courage and energy to both singers and listeners.
Why not sing it while reminiscing about a page from your youth?
I hope it’s sunny.DREAMS COME TRUE
The song “Haretara Ii ne” was created with the scenery of Miwa Yoshida’s hometown, Ikeda Town in Hokkaido, in mind.
Released in 1992, it became one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s popular numbers, chosen as the theme song for an NHK drama and reaching No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
As you’d expect from a DCT song, the range is slightly higher at mid1 G to hi G, but since the verses sit mainly in the low-to-mid range, it shouldn’t feel too difficult overall.
The hi C should preferably be sung in chest voice with solid power rather than falsetto, so make this a focal point in your practice.
Ballad of a SingerKishidan
It’s a famous song by Kazuyoshi Saito that many artists still cover today.
Personally, I have a faint, romantic memory of falling for it after seeing a senior lead a band and sing it at my high school culture festival.
Its gentle melody and relaxed tempo are truly captivating.
Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
A highly popular love song by Shonan no Kaze.
Since it’s not a heartbreak song, you can sing it brightly at a relaxed tempo.
There’s a rap part as well, but it’s not too difficult, and if you sing it to someone special, it’s sure to make them happy.
ff (fortissimo)HOUND DOG
“ff (Fortissimo)” is a high-energy rock song that’s very popular.
At live shows, it’s so loved that fans often sing an entire chorus together.
In karaoke scoring, imitating Otomo’s shouts will actually cost you points, so just follow the pitch bar honestly.
The melody is quite simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing! If you listen closely to the band’s snare drum and match your rhythm with its timing, it’ll be easier to sing.
Be careful not to cut the sustained notes in the chorus too short.
Basically, sing confidently and make sure your voice goes solidly into the mic—that should help you get a high score!
Grateful, thrilled, and overwhelmed like a stormarashi
It’s a heartwarming Arashi number filled with the desire to support someone and gratitude toward loved ones.
Released as a single in November 2000, it was used as the opening theme for the drama “Namida o Fuite,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya.
It’s often performed toward the end of concerts and is cherished as an important song that connects the fans and the members.
The contrast between the rap part and the melodious chorus is pleasing, making it easy to naturally fall into the rhythm.
With its overall catchy melody, it’s easy to remember and perfect for getting everyone excited together at karaoke.
Joyfulikimonogakari
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!
