The title Fantastipo is also the title of a movie starring TOKIO member Taichi Kokubun and KinKi Kids’ Tsuyoshi Domoto.

Sparked by this film, they formed “Toraji & Haiji” under their character names and released the song.

It’s a very upbeat track, so you can sing it at karaoke without hesitation.

One-Sixth Dream TravelerHiguchi Ryōichi

It’s the ending theme of the local TV show “How Do You Like Wednesday?”.

After the over-the-top, suspenseful preview of the next episode during the chaotic journeys of Oizumi and Mister, this refreshing song always plays—it’s a staple.

It perfectly evokes the kind of “travel” that is so them, with a breezy, exhilarating feel, and it’s also great for karaoke.

It’s a song produced for NHK’s program “Minna no Uta,” released as EXILE ATSUSHI’s seventh single in February 2015.

Partly due to ATSUSHI’s distinctive vocal phrasing, many people who aren’t confident singers will probably find it “difficult!!!” Indeed, if you try to sing it exactly like the original, there are plenty of challenging points, such as the phrasing and switching vocal tones.

That said, the tempo is slow and the gentle melody is very pleasant, so it’s definitely a song I’d love for you to try tackling if you can.

You might want to lower the key a little.

This is a handsome duo formed by Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi, brought together by co-starring in the drama “Nobuta wo Produce.” The chorus choreography is unique yet easy to imitate, which made it hugely popular especially among high school and college students, and many people still sing and dance to it at karaoke.

Since it’s a Masaharu Fukuyama song known for its rich, deep low range, if sung well, it might be one of the best choices for men with lower voices to really shine.

Throughout the piece, I don’t think there are any spots that will be a problem even if you’re not good at high notes.

However, because it has a ballad-like feel, try to sing each word of the lyrics carefully with as gentle a tone as possible.

For the occasional higher notes, avoid belting—letting them out softly and lightly will help you capture the mood even better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

This is a song by back number, a band that has released numerous love songs and resonates with many young people.

Aside from a portion of the chorus, the vocal range should be manageable even for men who struggle with high notes.

Plus, since it’s a slow-tempo ballad, you can carefully check each rhythm and pitch as you sing, making it highly recommended!

Words of FarewellKaientai

Kaientai, led by Tetsuya Takeda, released their 16th single in November 1979.

As many of you may know, it was the theme song for the first season of the smash-hit TV drama “Mr.

Kinpachi in Class 3-B,” which began airing that fall with Tetsuya Takeda in the lead role.

It’s also become something of a standard at graduation ceremonies, so many of you may have sung it at your school’s graduation.

Musically, the melody doesn’t feature any extreme leaps, and Takeda’s vocals—quintessentially those of a “Showa-era middle-aged man,” for better or worse—make it a piece that even people who aren’t confident singers will likely find approachable.
