Sukima Switch is a popular duo that has energized Japan’s J-pop scene for many years.

They still release new songs consistently, and you can always spot them around the middle of the charts.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Gyakuten Trigger.

It fully showcases the duo’s charm: bright, uplifting messages and melodies.

Despite its high energy, there are plenty of spots to breathe and the vocal range isn’t wide, so most male singers should be able to handle it without any trouble.

voiced mark (dakuten)Ofisharu Higedan Dism

A track from the album “Rejoice,” written and composed by vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara.

Its hallmark is the symbolic title “Dakuten,” which expresses human imperfection and contradiction.

It’s a song where Fujiwara’s signature high tones are absent, and he basically sings in a calm manner.

The melody and rhythm are simple, so it’s easy to remember as a song.

There are parts where he emphasizes the vowels and sings like a sigh, so imitating that when you sing would work really well! You’ll use a lot of breath and might feel short of air, but that’s proof you’re using your breath correctly—once you get used to it, it becomes easy to sing!

This is singer-songwriter Kaze Fujii’s 12th digital single, released in October 2022.

Over a mechanical four-on-the-floor beat, the freely bouncing piano and smooth vocal melody make it a very pleasant listen.

When you sing it at karaoke, keep that four-on-the-floor beat firmly in mind, but also try not to lose the horizontal continuity and flow of the melody.

The melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so it’s fine to sing it lightly, as if you’re humming.

choB-DASH

B-Dash is a band known for its unique lyrics made up of chaotic strings of characters.

At their live shows they improvise one-off lyrics every time, and somehow it always sounds like a foreign language—and it’s cool every time.

It’s music you can enjoy not for the lyrics, but for the sound itself.

Banzai ~ I’m glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

Ulfuls released their 10th single in February 1996.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Goddess of Victory.” The song’s charm lies in its very simple, unadorned vocals.

This might be an inappropriate thing to say as a vocal coach, but you don’t need to think about “proper vocal technique” or any of that complicated stuff to sing this song! Belt it out to your heart’s content—strongly and joyfully! One of the fascinating things about singing is that “proper technique” and “proper singing” don’t always sound the most compelling.

It might even be a great song for people who haven’t sung much before to use as an “entry point” into singing.

Released as a digital-only single in 2009, this song is characterized by its calm, steady melody line.

Because it lacks complex inflections, it’s one of the more popular Sakanaction songs for karaoke.

The highest notes are sung in falsetto, which also makes it easier to sing.

This is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015.

It was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.

drama “5→9: The Monk Who Fell in Love with Me” and won the Best Drama Song at the 87th The Television Drama Academy Awards, so many of you have probably heard it.

Sung by vocalist Iyori Shimizu, whose high notes are wonderfully beautiful, it may intimidate some people into hesitating to try it at karaoke after just one listen—but there’s no need to worry! It’s true that, for a male-vocal track, the original key is set quite high, but the vocal melody itself is relatively simple.

If you adjust the key to suit your range, many people should be able to aim for a high score.

There are sections with some pitch leaps, such as in the latter half of the chorus, but if you prepare in advance—practicing transitions between chest voice and falsetto and paying attention to vowel and consonant articulation in the lyrics—you can take on the challenge with confidence.
