Ketsumeishi “Wagamono-tachi yo” Lyric Video

A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.

It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.

Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.

For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.

Light humming is also recommended.

Ikimonogakari 'Joyful' Music Video

This is the song that became famous as the commercial jingle for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Chocolate,” and I think it left a strong impression on anyone who watched those ads back then! It’s a rhythm-focused song, so you don’t have to worry much about pitch—just get into the groove and it’s a lot of fun! It’s perfect for karaoke beginners or when you want to liven up the mood! There may be a part from the middle where the melody feels a bit high if you sing it in chest voice… but don’t worry! For the high notes, just crank up your energy and project your voice as if you’re aiming far away, and the sound will come out.

Engaging your facial muscles and using gestures is important too.

Above all, have fun!

Sakanaction / New Treasure Island -Music Video-

Released in 2015 as their 11th single, it was also used in the film score for the movie Bakuman.

Inspired by the film’s story about two young men striving to become manga artists, “Shin Takarajima” was created with the theme of “drawing lines” and incorporates retro elements.

It’s a simple, easy-to-remember song.

Vaundy - 'GREAT MAN' / Music Video

This is an inspiration song for the NHK Taiga drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky.” It’s interesting that the piece was created, inspired by the life of Eiichi Shibusawa, who is depicted on the 10,000-yen bill.

“Iseijin” is a song with a lively tempo, and the vocal range is set in a key that’s comfortable for male singers.

There are some passages where the pitch moves subtly at the ends of phrases, but I think it’s best to sing straight through at first without worrying too much about that.

Rather than forcing your pitch to match, focus on proper vocal production using your vocal cords; that will make it easier to sing in tune.

Try lifting your eyebrows and consciously projecting your voice clearly!

Lemon piemakaroni enpitsu

Macaroni Empitsu “Lemon Pie” MV

With a tempo of 102, Macaroni Enpitsu’s “Lemon Pie” is characterized by being easy to catch the rhythm—not too fast and not too slow.

The overall vocal range of the song is D3 to A#3, which is relatively narrow for a male song.

The verses (A-melo to B-melo) are sung in a conversational style, so you don’t need to worry too much about precise pitch.

The beginning of the second verse is rap-like, and as long as your words lock into the rhythm there, it shouldn’t be a problem either.

If you keep humming the chorus over and over, you’ll likely find it very singable.

For the chorus, try practicing with humming.

The key is to hum lightly without engaging your throat too much.
