ORIONNakajima Mika
It’s Mika Nakashima’s 27th single, released in November 2008.
It’s a very simple ballad, so if you sing each note carefully, I think it’s relatively easy to score high at karaoke.
Rather than focusing on “singing well,” aim for a natural delivery and you’ll likely get a good score.
If there’s a tricky part, it would be the switch to falsetto at the end of the chorus.
Practice making the transition between chest voice and falsetto sound natural.
SoupFujihara Sakura
Sakura Fujiwara, a singer-songwriter who played the heroine in the 2016 TV drama “Love Song” starring Masaharu Fukuyama.
This was her debut single and also the drama’s theme song.
Imitating her distinctive vocal phrasing might be challenging, but the required vocal range isn’t that wide, and if you learn the melody well before performing, you should be able to aim for a high score.
Try EverythingDream Ami
“Try Everything” is the theme song for the Japanese version of Disney’s animated film Zootopia, while the original version is sung by Shakira.
The Japanese version was released in April 2016 as Dream Ami’s second single.
As befits a Disney anime theme, it has a bright and very cute melody, making it easy to learn for karaoke and a good choice for aiming at a high score.
If you can produce clear, resonant high notes with the same transparency as Dream Ami herself, it’ll be perfect.
Be careful not to let your voice crack on the high notes.
White LoveSPEED
This is SPEED’s fifth single, released in October 1997.
It was a massive hit, selling a total of 2 million copies.
True to the 90s J-pop classics, where being popular at karaoke was practically essential for a hit, it features a very easy-to-remember and singable melody.
The Japanese lyrics fit the music beautifully as well, so if you sing it carefully, it should be relatively easy to score high.
And if you can nail those high notes head-on without switching to falsetto and let them soar straight through, that’s the best!
Marigoldaimyon
It’s Aimyon’s fifth single, released in August 2018.
Some women may find the low notes a bit challenging to sing, but if you can get past that, you should be able to aim for a high score with this song.
Also, the way the lyrics fit the melody is quite unique, so you may need to memorize where to breathe and sing accordingly.
Staying faithful to the original—such as how the rests are placed—is also key to getting a high score, so be sure to learn that well.
And don’t forget to sing the high notes with power!
DESIRENakamori Akina
It’s Akina Nakamori’s 14th single, released in February 1986.
Showa-era J-pop often features straightforward melodies, and this song is no exception.
It’s also a track that’s relatively easy to score high on in karaoke.
However, there are many low-pitched parts, so be sure to project properly so your voice doesn’t get buried.
If you can produce a slightly gritty, weighty low tone like Akina Nakamori’s, that would be perfect!
Love isKato Miria
This is Miliyah Kato’s 10th single, released in June 2007.
At first listen, many people might feel it seems quite difficult to sing, but the underlying chord progression is the classic “canon progression” often used in ballads—in fact, the arrangement is more like placing a vocal line over Pachelbel’s Canon.
So if you tackle it without hesitation, you should be fine.
When you reach the high notes near the end of the chorus, be mindful not to let the falsetto burst out too sharply; try to sing as gently as possible and give it a go.
