globeYonezu Kenshi
This is a song that expresses, through music, the sentiments embedded in director Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
Kenshi Yonezu spent four years creating it, and it was released in July 2023.
The lyrics, which delicately yet powerfully portray the joys and sorrows of life, as well as growth and hope, are striking and resonate deeply with the film’s themes.
The music video, filmed against the beautiful natural backdrop of Yakushima, further enriches the song’s world.
This piece is recommended both for those who wish to reflect on the meaning of life and for fans of Miyazaki’s works.
Why not try singing it at karaoke?
IBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a band supported by a wide range of listeners, from people in their 30s down to teens.
You might not associate them with low vocals, but they actually have many low-register phrases, making a lot of their songs easy to sing for men with deeper voices.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “I.” This song has a narrow vocal range, and the A and B sections are mostly in the low to lower-mid range.
The chorus features falsetto; if that part is difficult, try either raising the key to make the falsetto easier, or lowering the key and singing it in mixed voice.
The Zero Sense10-FEET
This is 10-FEET’s 22nd single, released in November 2022 as a digital-only single.
It was selected as the ending theme song for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.
It’s crafted as a very cool medium-to up-tempo rock song! The vocal melody is simple and easy to follow, so to sing it well, I think it really comes down to projecting as powerfully as you can and staying firmly locked into the rhythm of the backing track to keep the sense of groove.
Don’t sweat the small details—belt it out with strength and enjoy riding the rhythm as you sing! If you also pay attention to the rests between phrases, it’ll feel even better, so definitely experiment and fine-tune your approach.
cold; curt; blunt; unfriendlyRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS wrote “Sokkenai” as the theme song for the dating reality show “Okami-kun ni wa Damasarenai” (“Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf”).
The song portrays the romantic push-and-pull and the wavering of emotions that unfold in the show.
Its melody is simple, centered around the piano.
This not only expresses emotional delicacy but also serves to highlight Yojiro Noda’s vocals.
As a result, singing it at karaoke should allow you to deliver a clearer vocal performance.
However, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so the overall difficulty shouldn’t be high.
