Sense of Wondersumika
How about this number by sumika when you want to get pumped up in a poppy, fun way? This track was used as a commercial song for Shinken Zemi.
Written in a masculine tone, the lyrics carry a message of support: “From here on out, don’t worry about a thing—just charge ahead as yourself!” It’s not a sweaty, overbearing pep talk; it keeps things poppy and light, which might make it easier for guys who aren’t great at being straightforward to accept.
It’s perfect for karaoke when you want to fire yourselves up with your male friends and go, “Let’s do our best!”
cloudy skyDOES
As the opening theme for the fifth season of the TV Tokyo anime Gintama, a lot of people probably think of Don’ten when they hear Gintama! DOES is a band whose lower registers resonate more than the high ones.
It’s a rock track popular with men for karaoke, where stable low notes and a raw expressive style are key to high scores! The song itself is short at about three minutes.
Even first-time listeners can pick up Don’ten easily, and it’s highly recommended for rock fans! The trick to low notes is to use your breath well and release your voice slowly straight ahead.
If you push your voice out, the low notes resonate more and you can hear your own singing better.
That, of course, makes it easier to stay on pitch.
It’s important to get your voice solidly into the mic when you sing.
