Surely, alwaysSano ibuki

Sano ibuki is a singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity with his orthodox songwriting.

If you’re a male in your teens to early twenties, you’ve probably heard his songs at least once.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Kitto Zutto.” It’s a classic, straightforward J-pop ballad without any quirks, and because there are very few parts where you have to belt and no serious long tones, it’s very easy to sing.

There aren’t any irregular progressions either, so simply focusing on pitch should be enough to aim for a high score.
