Go Go Ghost ShipYonezu Kenshi
This is a song by Hachi, who gained attention for tracks made with VOCALOID, included on the album ‘diorama’ released under the name Kenshi Yonezu.
Among Yonezu’s songs, which often feature distinctive melodies and rhythms, this track is popular for not having a high key and being easy to sing.
POISON ~ A world where you can’t even say what you want to saySorimachi Takashi
This is actor and singer (currently on hiatus from singing) Takashi Sorimachi’s fourth single, released in July 1998.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama GTO, in which Sorimachi himself starred.
With a medium-to-up tempo that’s easy for anyone to sing and groove to, the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, and the tune is very easy to remember and sing.
So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s a must-pick when you want to aim for a high karaoke score.
It might be fun to get together with friends and hold a one-song scoring battle with this track.
Try producing your voice as if you’re aiming it toward your lower jaw inside your mouth and sing with a strong chest voice—you’ll likely get an even better vocal tone, so give it a try.
Gather the Windhappiiendo
This is a song by Happy End, the band that included Haruomi Hosono of YMO and Eiichi Ohtaki, known for songs like “Saraba Siberia Tetsudō” (Goodbye, Siberian Railway).
With a sensational melody and lyrics as profound as contemporary poetry, it’s hard to believe it was written 40 years ago—you’ll find yourself humming along.
Since it doesn’t feature difficult melodic lines, it’s an easy song for anyone to sing.
loveHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s ninth single, released in October 2016.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS TV drama “We Married as a Job!” (original title: “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu”), in which he starred.
The “Koi Dance,” performed by Hoshino and ELEVENPLAY in the music video, was covered by the drama’s cast in the ending sequence and became a huge craze.
Many of you have probably heard the song or seen the dance.
It’s a catchy track with a brisk tempo, and the melody is very simple and easy to remember, so I highly recommend it as a karaoke pick for those who aren’t confident singers.
In the original key, it might be a bit tough for men with lower voices, so be sure to pay close attention to the key settings.
CORAZONDA PUMP
This is DA PUMP’s 14th single, released in April 2001.
By the way, the title “CORAZON” is Spanish for “heart.” The melody is simple and the tempo is an easy-to-sing medium pace, so I think many men will find it comfortable to sing.
The rap part is delivered a bit fast and almost rattled off, so you might need to be careful there.
If you’re not confident in your sense of rhythm, it could be a good idea to leave the rap part to a friend!
MeribaPEOPLE 1
PEOPLE 1 is a pop band that has been active since 2019.
In Japan’s rock scene—where high, thin vocals are common—their thick, loud vocal tone is especially appealing.
Among their tracks, I particularly recommend Meriba.
Because it uses a lot of falsetto, it might feel difficult.
It’s true that sung as-is, it’s challenging, but the song’s range isn’t actually that wide.
If you lower the key by about two semitones from your comfortable range, you’ll be able to sing most parts in chest voice—so give it a try.
Bedroom TalkOfisharu Higedan Dism
A song by Official HIGE DANDism (hereafter, HIGEDAN), released on August 18, 2021.
It’s built on a very simple and catchy melody—very much a HIGEDAN-style track.
The tempo is slow, but the rhythm and melody have a slight swing, so when you sing it, be sure to maintain that “swung feel.” Satoshi Fujihara, HIGEDAN’s vocalist, is a singer with exceptional technique and expressive power, and in this song he uses a variety of vocal tones and expressions to deliver a highly engaging performance.
That said, as mentioned earlier, the melody itself is simple and easy to follow, so even humming it casually like a little tune is more than enough to enjoy it!
