Sing of springback number
A track from Japanese rock band back number’s first mini-album, released in February 2009.
Although it’s from their indie debut album, a music video like the one introduced here was also produced.
It’s sung by the band themselves, but perhaps because it’s from their indie era, for better or worse it has less of that polished “professional” feel compared to their current vocals.
With this vibe, even someone who isn’t very confident in their singing could probably do a pretty good job with it at karaoke.
There are a few spots where you need to switch to falsetto, but if that worries you, lowering the key a little at karaoke should be fine.
I think this is a song where the most important point for making it sound good is to prioritize expressing the song’s world and atmosphere over singing it perfectly.
Set aside any anxiety about singing and give it a try!
From my perspectiveOkuda Tamio
A song by Tamio Okuda, released digitally on September 15, 2021.
It also drew attention for being completed through a public recording session.
The track is quintessentially Okuda—big, groovy, and in a sense exuding a very “masculine” feel.
His unadorned, down-to-earth vocals truly shine here, and debating whether the singing is technically good or bad feels pointless.
If you pick this for karaoke, just enjoy belting it out.
I’m sure it’ll feel great!
Goodbye, Humanitytama
The debut single of the Japanese band Tama, released in May 1990.
It’s a very comical and fun song, so there’s absolutely no need to feel self-conscious about your singing when performing it.
If you simply enjoy “singing” and “using your voice” in line with the song’s warm and easygoing vibe, you’ve already won! I think it’s widely regarded as a so-called “novelty song,” so don’t sweat the small stuff—just have fun! Of course, as a piece of music it’s very well crafted, but for something like karaoke with friends, there’s no need to worry about it that much.
Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS’ seventh single overall and their fourth since their major-label debut, released in July 2006.
When singing this at karaoke, the key will be whether you can smoothly switch from the laid-back vocals in the intro to the energetic singing in the chorus.
Also watch out for the slightly rap-like fast part in the second verse’s A-melody so your tongue doesn’t get tied.
You’ll likely have trouble keeping up if you’re reading the lyrics as you go, so it’s best to memorize them beforehand.
If high notes are tough for you, try lowering the key a little.
Come, come, come.go!go!vanillas
The band go!go!vanillas is highly regarded in the industry for their diverse musicality.
Their roots are broad: while their core is garage and other white music like country, they’re also influenced by funk and R&B, which gives all their works a complex musical character.
“Rai Rai Rai” is one such track.
Although the musicality is complex, the vocal line isn’t that difficult.
There are plenty of key changes, but also many spots to breathe, making it easier to sing than it sounds.
The rough-and-ready style of the song also makes it easier to perform.
Sleeping BeautySEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s third major-label single, released in May 2012.
It’s a bright song with an impressive, beautiful string arrangement that makes you feel happy just by listening! The vocal melody is very gentle throughout, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.
When you actually sing it, try to place the sound so it resonates against your upper palate; that way, your voice will match the song’s sparkling quality.
Christmas songback number
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.
