RADWIMPS’s “Tamamono,” chosen as the theme song for NHK’s morning drama series Anpan that has been airing since March 2025, is a track packed with an astonishing density of information in its roughly 4 minutes and 50 seconds—so much so that a single listen isn’t enough to grasp its full picture.

It weaves in elements reminiscent of Showa-era pop, rhythmically rapped vocals laced with falsetto, and even sections that feel like children’s songs.

The restless, fast-evolving arrangement gives the impression that the band has reached a new level.

That said, it’s obvious the song would be extremely difficult to sing at karaoke.

The vocal range is wide, the rhythm is tricky, and if you don’t memorize the structure precisely, you’ll be left behind.

So until you get a handle on the whole piece, it’s best to listen to it repeatedly.

Take It BackReiko

Born in 2002, REIKO—born in the Philippines and raised in Aichi Prefecture—is a promising young singer-songwriter who, despite narrowly missing out in SKY-HI’s audition program “THE FIRST,” was later recognized for his talent by SKY-HI himself and debuted as a solo artist.

Released in April 2025, the track “Take It Back” consciously channels New Jack Swing, reviving the style in a modern way and shaping it into a killer tune that fully showcases REIKO’s superb vocal ability and outstanding sense of rhythm.

Beyond the melody line that moves across a wide vocal range, songs like this demand a strong rhythmic feel while singing; simply hitting the notes as written will never capture the vibe.

Listen closely to the track and try singing with the song’s inherent groove in mind.

kaiju (giant monster)Sakanakushon

Kaijū, which drew attention as the opening theme for Chi: About the Movement of the Earth and was released in February 2025 as Sakanaction’s first new song in about three years, topped the Oricon chart and already feels like it has cemented its place as one of 2025’s defining tracks.

While it has a straightforward, classic J-pop structure, the clever arrangement gives it a dramatic and even complex feel, showcasing advanced technique.

That said, the melody line itself isn’t particularly difficult, and there aren’t any extreme high notes, so it seems relatively easy to sing.

If you pay attention to the contrast between the rhythmic sections and the more sustained, expansive parts, you can highlight your “singing skill” even more!

After-school[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] is a rock band popular primarily among people in their teens and twenties.

While they’re known for a wide range of musical styles, they have a particular reputation for punchy, sharp-edged rock.

Their song “After School,” however, differs from that approach and leans more toward an indie rock aesthetic.

The vocal line has little dynamic variation and a very narrow range, so male singers should be able to handle the original key without difficulty.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

CYMBillyrrom

If you want to aim for a perfect score with a stylish, high-sense track, we also recommend “CYM.” It’s a Black music–style piece centered on funk and disco, featuring a bouncy bassline that stands out throughout.

The vocal line adds color to the track, often coming in on the backbeat.

While the rhythm has a bit of difficulty, the vocal melody is relatively flat and monotonous, making it a song where aiming for 100 points should be easier.

If you want to aim for a perfect score with an emotional ballad, we recommend Kataomoi.

This song by the popular band SUPER BEAVER features straightforward, catchy musicianship typical of a classic band sound.

There’s relatively frequent vibrato, but there aren’t many sustained long notes belted at full volume, and the melody doesn’t move up and down quickly, so it’s easy to keep your pitch on track.

There’s a section with a slightly spoken delivery partway through, so just pay extra attention to the pitch there while you sing.

Recently, the band YUTORI-SEDAI has been steadily gaining popularity in the Japanese rock scene.

They excel at classic ballads much like back number, and since becoming a three-piece, their momentum has really picked up.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Watashi datte,”.

The vocal range is about average and includes some falsetto, but the vocal lines have a traditional, orthodox ballad feel, making it an ideal choice if you’re aiming for a perfect score.
