May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
Released in February 2009 as JUJU’s ninth single.
It’s a rock ballad with a beautiful, very memorable melody that’s easy to pick up, so if you’re reasonably confident in your singing, it’s a song where you can definitely aim for a high score.
In the intro A-melody, there’s a line that uses a lot of chromatic (semitone) movement, so be careful not to let the pitch get vague there.
Also, if you sing with a clear contrast in dynamics between the chorus and the other sections, it will sound even better.
However, even in the stronger parts, make sure it doesn’t turn into singing “by brute force.” Skillfully using a stronger mixed voice seems to be the key to making it sound good.
If I could become a constellationkessoku bando
Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.
Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.
The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.
Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.
The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!
rainbow-coloredayaka
It’s Ayaka’s 13th single, released first digitally in April 2014 and then on CD in June of the same year.
When you think of Ayaka, you probably think of a powerhouse vocalist, so many people might hesitate to sing her songs at karaoke.
But Nijiiro has a very friendly, easy-to-remember melody, so if you don’t focus too much on imitating her vocal style, I think it’s not that hard to score high.
Try singing it while keeping the song’s light, brisk feel and being careful not to make it too heavy.
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!
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.
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.
