For men (11–20)
fireworks (launched into the sky)Yonezu Kenshi
Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.
In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.
If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.
To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.
Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.
Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.
Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!
RADWIMPSai ni dekiru koto wa mada aru kai
RADWIMPS’s “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” is a song released on July 19, 2019 as the theme song for the film Weathering With You.
Many of you are probably familiar with it.
The tempo is relaxed, and the melody line is easy to follow.
If you sing each phrase carefully, you won’t fall out of rhythm, making it easy to match the pitch bar as well.
The overall vocal range is C#3–F#4; it goes a bit high, but since it’s a gentle song, use your falsetto to sing with a soft feel.
Try to project your voice as if it’s resonating in your head, coming from the top of your head for both low and high notes.
When you focus on head resonance, your facial muscles naturally lift, and keeping them that way makes it easier to stay on pitch.
Around the chorus, adding an accent to the initial note helps your voice come out clearly and lets you sing comfortably.
It’s love.V6
A poppy, refreshing love song that represents V6 in 1997—and I just learned this myself—the composer is Koji Tamaki.
The overall vocal range is wide and high, from D#3 to D#5, and both the intensity and the range build steadily toward the latter half.
Because the tempo feels good, you’ll need to project your voice while staying in the groove.
As you approach the high notes before the chorus, keep a tight, small body rhythm to line up your timing, use your body to add momentum, and accent the phrase.
Be careful not to tense up on the “n” sound in the song title; focus on carrying it with your breath and try singing with that in mind!
Mr.ChildrenTabidachi no Uta
Released as a single on October 31, 2007, it was used as the theme song for the film “Koizora” and in an NTT East Japan commercial.
The hook, which is also the title of the song, feels very familiar, doesn’t it? “Tabidachi no Uta” spans the C3–A4 range, and you might think “it’s not that high,” but since vocalist Sakurai sings it entirely in chest voice, you’ll probably want to belt it out in chest voice too.
At the end of the chorus, where the range jumps up, if you push with brute force, you’ll completely wreck your throat.
As the pitch gets higher, focus on projecting your voice farther into the distance.
Raise your eyebrows firmly and try sending your voice from just in front of your eyebrows at all times! Also, breath and explosiveness are key—take in a lot of air and shoot it out like a beam with momentum, aiming far away! It might be tiring until you get the feel for it, but once you do, your voice will come out comfortably!
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This is actor Masaki Suda’s third single, released in February 2018.
It also served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kiss that Kills,” in which Suda himself appears.
The song was composed by Huwie Ishizaki.
While Suda is well-regarded for his vocal ability, Ishizaki—known for the distinctive melodies in his own songs—seems to have kept the melody here less complex and difficult than the ones he sings himself, perhaps taking into account that Suda isn’t a full-time singer.
So if you pay attention to pitch and rhythm when singing it at karaoke, I think it’s relatively easy to score a high mark.
Above all, what matters most when singing Masaki Suda’s songs is “passion!” Go all out and aim for that high score!
EXILEmichi
It’s a classic EXILE ballad! I’ve actually sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was shocked at how low they are.
Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s range is very much tailored to male voices.
Michi, with its relaxed tempo, sits around B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge feels a bit high.
That said, for karaoke scoring, singing in falsetto will almost always match pitch more accurately, so choose whichever approach you prefer! Key points: sing carefully overall to keep your pitch aligned, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.
If you focus on these three, a perfect 100 is definitely within reach! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressive delivery tends to add points, so give it a try!
For men (21–30)
Fujifabricakakiiro no kinmokusei
This is the third single by Fujifabric, released in 2004.
The song’s overall vocal range is A#3 to G#4, so it should be very comfortable for those who struggle with high notes.
With a tempo of 153, it’s easy to ride the rhythm and stay aware of the pitch bar.
The A and B sections focus on lower notes, so if you overuse your throat, you’ll end up singing the higher notes in the chorus with a throaty sound, making it harder to stay on pitch.
When singing, aim for a singing voice rather than a speaking voice, and make sure the sound comes correctly from the vocal folds.
Lightly touch the dip between your collarbones and try producing sound from there.
If the spot you’re touching vibrates slightly, that’s a sign you’re using your voice correctly.
Sing with the image of projecting the sound forward from that point.
For low notes, place the sound right in front of you; for high notes, aim farther away and use a quick, explosive release.
In all cases, produce the sound from your vocal folds.
