spring breezesumika

sumika / Spring Breeze [Music Video]
spring breezesumika

A track from Japanese rock band sumika’s first full-length album, “Familia,” released in July 2017.

It’s crafted as a very straightforward, catchy pop-rock number, so there’s no need to worry about whether you’re a good singer or not to perform it.

Just enjoy the straightforward, rocking vibe and give it a sing!

rainbowSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda 'Niji' (Rainbow)
rainbowSuda Masaki

This is actor and singer Masaki Suda’s fifth single overall, released on November 25, 2020.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “STAND BY ME Doraemon 2.” In terms of tempo, it’s a medium-to-slow ballad, and rhythmically I think it’s very easy to sing.

The vocal melody line is beautifully fluid, with no gimmicky twists, so in that sense as well, it’s probably easy for anyone to sing.

Suda himself delivers a very “masculine” vocal performance, and likewise, rather than trying to sing too politely, it might work to tackle the high notes with a slightly forceful nuance.

From my perspective as a vocal coach, it’s not a singing approach I’d particularly recommend (lol).

Motherkariyushi 58

This is one of the signature songs by Kariyushi58, an Okinawan band, in which they sing about their feelings toward their mother.

There are many words, but the tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing.

The melody is more like speaking than a song with rising and falling pitches, so it’s easy to remember.

Robert Akiyama, a multi-talented artist who even writes and composes his own songs, created a provocative piece in many senses with “SAY KOU SHOW.” The title is a pun on the Japanese word for “sexual intercourse,” and the song’s amusing structure has Akiyama posing somewhat awkward questions to his fellow Robert member, Yamamoto, in the same dorm.

The music video directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa also drew a lot of attention.

The melody is actually easy to remember, making it a great gag song to liven up karaoke, but be sure to enjoy it with care—and avoid singing it in front of people who aren’t into this kind of humor!

IBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN「I」(Official Audio)
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.

Kobukurotsubomi

Kobukuro’s 14th single, released in March 2007.

It’s a very beautiful acoustic ballad, and I think the difficulty is quite high if you try to express it seriously and sing it with full nuance.

However, the melody is very gentle, the tempo is slow, and there aren’t any parts where the lyrics are crammed in at a rapid pace, so if you’re just tracing the melody and lyrics at karaoke, I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

In that sense, it’s a song with great depth.

Some people may find the key a bit high, so it’s a good idea to check the key setting in advance.

ApolloPorunogurafiti

PornoGraffitti 'Apollo' (“OPEN MUSIC CABINET” Live in Saitama Super Arena 2007) / PornoGraffitti 'Apollo (Live)'
ApolloPorunogurafiti

It was Porno Graffitti’s major-label debut single, released in 1999.

I remember hearing it often in various settings, though it debuted at No.

84 on the Oricon charts and peaked at No.

5 weekly.

In the end, it became a hit, selling over 400,000 copies.

The rhythm might be tricky at first, but it’s a fast-paced song that’s great for karaoke.

Among Porno Graffitti’s songs, it’s not that high in pitch, so I think the key is comfortable for most men to sing.
