SignalSaitō Kazuyoshi
Although it sings of lingering attachment to a finished romance and a farewell, the piece somehow feels refreshingly light.
“Signal” is a track from the 21st album, “55 STONES,” released in 2021.
The easy-on-the-ears band sound meshes beautifully with the lyrical world.
You can feel the sadness and loneliness, yet by the end it leaves you with a dry, clear aftertaste.
This holds true for many of Saito’s other songs as well, but since there are almost no parts that require belting, it’s very easy to sing.
Don’t cry, Glory Moon.Saitō Kazuyoshi
Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito has been active for many years, and he continues to release new songs without changing his style.
His latest track is “Naku na Glory Moon.” Although it’s crafted as a refreshing rock piece, its vocal range is quite narrow and is largely centered in the mid-to-low register throughout.
If you slightly lower the pitch and aim for a fuller tone at the start of each section, you can emphasize the depth and richness of your voice.
Give it a try as a reference.
Otona Blueatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu
Right now, the idol group attracting the most attention is ATARASHII GAKKO! (New School Leaders).
They’ve become popular for their distinctive personalities—unlike conventional idols—and a nostalgic musical style that fits the revival boom.
Among their songs, one that’s especially easy to sing is OTONABLUE.
Since it features elements of old-school kayōkyoku, it has a relaxed tempo and a mature, singable melody, much like songs from the past.
It’s centered in the mid-range, which also makes it easier for men to sing.
North Wind ~May It Reach You~Makihara Noriyuki
“North Wind ~May It Reach You~” is one of those songs you want to listen to as winter approaches, featuring the charming, gentle vocals of Noriyuki Makihara.
While many of his songs sit in a higher key and can feel difficult for male singers, this track doesn’t span a very wide range, making it relatively easy to sing.
Its pure-hearted lyrics are so warm they might make you forget the winter chill and melt listeners’ hearts.
Even men with lower voices will find it worth a try—so go ahead and give it a challenge!
Far, far awayMakihara Noriyuki
Even though it was never released as a single, one of Noriyuki Makihara’s most famous numbers is “Tōku Tōku” (“Far Away”).
It was first included on his 1992 album Kimi wa Boku no Takaramono and has since appeared on many best-of compilations.
In 2006, a newly recorded version was produced and used in an NTT East Japan commercial.
The lyrics, which capture the feelings of a protagonist striving far from home, really resonate.
The melody moves at a steady pace and is easy to sing, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to learn.
While some parts have slightly complex pitch lines that leap up and down, give it a try and sing it at karaoke!
Another SaturdayHamada Shogo
It’s a bittersweet song that portrays episodes of a possibly unrequited love and the intensifying emotions that come with it.
Released in 1985 as the B-side to the single “LONELY – Ai to Iu Yakusokugoto,” it gradually became one of Shogo Hamada’s signature ballads despite not being the title track.
The progression, centered on piano with layered strings, accentuates the heartache and poignant atmosphere.
Its gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing; conveying emotion while delivering it quietly and tenderly is key.
Harmony at the End of SummerTamaki Kōji
A classic with a gently soothing tone, “Natsu no Owari no Harmony” (Harmony at Summer’s End).
Created by Yosui Inoue and Koji Tamaki and released in 1986, it remains beloved even among younger generations today.
It’s also a very singable piece.
Most notably, there’s no use of falsetto at all.
While many of Koji Tamaki’s songs span a wide vocal range, this one—partly due to its lyrics—keeps to a calm melody throughout.
However, because it features many long sustained notes, when you actually sing it, try not to overengage your diaphragm; ease up slightly and sing with a bit less volume.
