Let off some steam with karaoke! A special selection of songs that make you feel refreshed (31–40)
chantAdo
It’s the official theme song of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event—the one that became famous for the zombie dance! It’s an extremely challenging song packed with high-pitched shouts, low, spoken parts, and rap-like sections.
I learned it together with my students during lessons, too! Of course, once you can sing it well, it’s incredibly fun and satisfying! Some of the lyrics use difficult words, so I recommend listening to the original and memorizing them carefully one by one.
The tempo is very fast and you have to keep singing one line after another, but if you push too hard, you can wreck your throat, and if you hold back too much, it loses impact.
If you use your breath well and project your falsetto strongly, you can sing with a cool, powerful tone! Also, since it’s a dance track, once you feel more comfortable, try moving your body or swaying as you sing—you’ll lock into the rhythm, your voice will come out more easily, and it’ll be easier to add accents!
Starting OverJohn Lennon
This is a song John Lennon created as a solo artist after leaving the Beatles.
It was released as a single from his collaborative album with Yoko Ono, Double Fantasy.
After John’s death, it climbed the charts and became his biggest hit.
In Japan, it has also been widely used in TV dramas and commercials.
Fighting My WayHatsuboshi Gakuen, Giga, Hanami Saki
This is a character song from the game “Gakuen Idolmaster,” known as Gakumasu, and it’s the solo track by Saki Hanami, whom my student called the final boss! I’ve tried singing this song at karaoke myself, but it’s definitely not something you can sing just by casually listening to it! The tempo is fast, and the melody comes at you in rapid succession, so unless you really listen closely and get to the point where you can hum along, it’s pretty tough to handle at karaoke.
In fact, Gakumasu has a lot of songs made by Vocaloid producers, so most of them are said to be quite difficult.
It’s a fun song to listen to on its own, and if you can sing it, it’s super cool and feels great! I recommend humming when you’re learning the song.
Don’t hum by pushing with your throat; try doing it lightly so the resonance hits between your eyebrows!
