Official HIGE DANDism – Line Up Before Love [Official Video]

Released on April 22, 2015, “Koi no Maenarai” is a representative early track.

It’s a refreshing pop-rock tune with both lightness and warmth, and its march-like rhythm makes it very easy to get into! In their early days, HIGE DAN didn’t stack tons of high notes, and the keys are set in a range that’s relatively singable for the average male vocalist.

If you like HIGE DAN but feel their songs are too high to sing, definitely start with their early work.

There are plenty of songs that feel distinctly HIGE DAN without requiring soaring high notes! That said, there are still some higher parts, so it might help to sing with your facial muscles lifted and imagine resonating in your head throughout.

The Departure of LoveOfisharu Higedan Dism

This is a heartbreak ballad included on the album “MAN IN THE MIRROR.” The overall vocal range spans E3 to F5, and although the higher notes appear more in the latter half and may feel high, the clear, band-driven drum sound makes it very easy to groove to.

The B section initially shifts into an odd meter, so it might make you go “huh?” at first, but if you deliver the lyrics straightforwardly, you’ll be able to ride the melodic line.

When singing, keep a lightly bouncing feel at all times—imagine you are the drummer and lock in the rhythm firmly, and you should find it easier to sing.

An immersive UTAU track soaked in cool, pristine electronica.

Created by Vocaloid producer Noriko Sato, it was released in November 2025 as an entry for the anonymous submission event Colorless Transparent Festival 3.

This piece portrays the majestic sight of fish swimming grandly across the sky—an essential image for Tango no Sekku (Children’s Day).

With lyrics by Miyako Kondo, it’s a song included in a 1913 collection of school songs.

Selected by the Agency for Cultural Affairs for the “100 Best Japanese Songs,” this classic features lyrics in which the father black carp and the children red carp swim together in harmony, evoking the warmth of family bonds.

The key is to sing with a gentle three-beat rhythm, swaying your body from side to side.

If you layer voices in a round, as if chasing each other, it creates a unified feeling like many fish swimming through the wide sky.

As you share nostalgic memories of the festival, try creating a heartwarming harmony together with older adults.

Hideaki Tokunaga – The Broken Radio
Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki

This was his 10th single and one of Hideaki Tokunaga’s signature songs.

It reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and became a huge hit ballad, selling a total of about 360,000 copies.

He also performed it at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2006 and 2009, and it continues to be loved across generations.

Many people do impressions of Hideaki Tokunaga, but when you sing it at karaoke, I hope you’ll sing boldly in your own voice! The overall vocal range of the song is F#3 to A4, which may be comfortable for many male singers, but the chorus stays on the higher side, so if you’re not familiar with the song you might end up straining your throat.

It’s very important to keep your throat open and direct your breath toward the notes! Lift those facial muscles and sing with expression!
