When people think of songs that feel great to sing, many might imagine tracks with high-key long notes, but I also recommend songs like this one that feel amazing when you lock into the rhythm perfectly! Just like riding a wave while surfing, there’s a special satisfaction in delivering the lyrics rhythmically in sync with the accompaniment.
Of course, nailing the occasional high notes in falsetto that appear within the melody is guaranteed to feel great too.
Overall, it’s a challenging song, but if you pull it off well, it’s one that can captivate your listeners.

The song spans a wide vocal range from low to high and features a bouncy rhythm, making it challenging, but once you master it, it’s a lot of fun to sing.
Another distinctive feature is that the chorus appears four times, each with a different melody, so you can enjoy singing it to the end without getting bored.
It’s a well-known track that listeners will enjoy too, making it a great choice for karaoke.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “Sunday Night Is About This Much…,” starring Nana Seino, offering uplifting energy to many people who feel worn out by everyday life.
With lyrics themed around the determination to face adversity and the spirit of self-acceptance, it encourages an optimistic attitude of “whatever will be, will be.” It’s a perfect song for those who want to belt it out at karaoke to release their feelings and relieve stress, for anyone in the midst of a challenge, and for those looking to boost their self-esteem!

The theme song of the hugely popular drama that aired in 2020 and became a major talking point, “Anata ga Iru Koto de.” Every episode, as it approached the final act, this song would play, adding color to many moving scenes—truly a classic ballad! It’s sung by singer-songwriter Uru, whose clear, beautiful, and cool voice is incredibly captivating.
The arrangement is simple, letting her exceptional vocal ability shine to the fullest, so belting this song out should feel wonderfully cathartic.
