McDonald RomanceKing Gnu
King Gnu, known for their musicality that incorporates a variety of genres such as jazz and funk, present “McDonald Romance,” a work that draws on neo-soul—a genre close to R&B that was trendy in the 1990s.
Neo-soul is less about showcasing vocals alone and more about delivering the entire package, including the instrumentation.
This track shares those characteristics; because there are fewer spotlight moments for the vocals, the overall difficulty is relatively low.

SorrowsKing Gnu
Among King Gnu’s works, the track “Sorrows” particularly emphasizes the bassline.
While King Gnu generally builds on a mixture style that incorporates various genres, this piece strongly showcases characteristics of alternative rock.
As a result, there are fewer complex vocal lines, making many parts comparatively easier to sing.
That said, it’s still a King Gnu song: the vocal lines are challenging in their simplicity, and there are many high-register phrases, so a certain amount of practice is necessary.
In particular, because the song features many long sustained notes, be sure to use diaphragmatic breathing so you can produce thick, sustained tones.
You are a mirage.King Gnu
King Gnu’s iconic track “Anata wa Shinkirou” stands out for its electronic textures.
It features a decadent vocal line and lyrics, with heavily processed vocals.
The most singable aspect of the piece is that the vocal line stays in the low to mid range.
The high parts of the chorus are generally handled by backing vocals, so you don’t need to belt to sing it.
However, the key changes in the chorus can be a bit tricky, so it’s worth practicing repeatedly to get comfortable with the modulation.
poofKing Gnu
King Gnu, as a mixture rock band, incorporates a variety of genres, and among their songs are some harder tracks.
One of these is Doron.
King Gnu’s songs are generally difficult to begin with, so compared to typical tracks they’re already quite challenging, but this one has a pretty rough tone, which means it can still work even if sung a bit crudely.
When singing it at karaoke, it might be a good idea to raise the mic gain to add some distortion in order to effectively capture that rough feel.
humorKing Gnu
King Gnu has released songs across a variety of genres.
While many of their tracks are powerful, they also have groovy, danceable numbers.
One of these is Humor.
As it’s a groove-focused piece, the vocal lines are relatively understated.
Correspondingly, there are fewer tricky vocal passages, making it one of the more singable songs in King Gnu’s catalog.
That said, the overall range sits in the mid-to-high register, so a certain level of vocal range is required.
Raw LoveKing Gnu
Srv.Vinci, the band that later became King Gnu—pronounced “Server Vinci.” Since the production was handled by Mr.
Tsuneta just like with King Gnu, I’ll introduce this work as a special case under King Gnu.
This piece features a lot of key changes, so many people may feel it’s hard to sing.
It’s certainly far more challenging than typical J-pop, but the vocals don’t start immediately after each modulation.
There are a few beats of rest before the singing begins, which should make it easier to handle.
