HouyouKawaharada Shinichi

This is the sixth single overall from Shinichi Kawaharada, who is also active as an actor, released in December 2020.

The warm, embracing melody of “Houyou” gently wraps around listeners.

Its universally approachable style suits any singer, making it a surefire candidate to grow as a karaoke staple.

If you sing it with heart, you’ll naturally feel a sense of connection with those around you.

Kawaharada’s sincere vocals draw you in, and singing along can even make you forget the fatigue of daily life.

Singer-songwriter Yu Takahashi, known for his catchy, emotionally impactful lyrics, has earned widespread popularity.

While his early work leaned toward orthodox rock, he’s recently been releasing many highly original tracks.

Among his catalog, Real-Time Singer-Songwriter is a standout recommendation.

Its vocal line is extremely catchy, and with a fair number of sustained notes, you can aim to rack up points with vibrato.

There’s a key change, so it has a bit of a quirk, but the vocal line itself is simple—definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Hilcrhyme is a hip-hop solo project by TOC.

Active since 2006, they’ve consistently released hit songs up to the present.

Among Hilcrhyme’s tracks, one I especially recommend is Drama.

Released as the theme song for the TV series Enjiya Re:act, this piece encapsulates Hilcrhyme’s signature pop-friendly, easy-to-sing rap style.

Despite the sharp, punchy melody, the vocal line is very simple—so give it a try.

It’s Sukima Switch’s seventh single, released in March 2006.

It seems it was produced as the theme song for the animated film Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur 2006.

Sukima Switch’s vocalist, Takuya Ohashi, is a singer whose voice has a charming, slightly unadorned quality, and that appeal is brought out to the fullest in this gentle ballad.

The vocal melody is straightforward throughout and easy to sing, but there are spots where you need to switch to falsetto.

If that’s not your strong suit, please practice so you can shift smoothly before giving it a try.

Nagagutsu BoyJIJIM

JIJIM is a six-member band from the Kanto region.

They’re fairly underground, but within the scene they’re getting attention for their stylish songs.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend as being easy to sing is “Nagagutsu Boy.” It’s built mostly around the mid-to-high range, so there are plenty of higher parts, but the overall range isn’t wide; if you can hit moderately high notes, you should be able to sing it without trouble.

If you like city pop-style tunes, this is a must-listen!

It was Sharam Q’s seventh single, released in 1995.

He’s now fully known as a producer who develops idols, but Tsunku’s knack for creating songs is incredible, isn’t it? It’s a perfect karaoke track and a song that a group can really get hyped to.

Song of DepartureMr.Children

Released as a single on October 31, 2007, it was used as the theme song for the film “Koizora” and in an NTT East Japan commercial.

The hook, which is also the title of the song, feels very familiar, doesn’t it? “Tabidachi no Uta” spans the C3–A4 range, and you might think “it’s not that high,” but since vocalist Sakurai sings it entirely in chest voice, you’ll probably want to belt it out in chest voice too.

At the end of the chorus, where the range jumps up, if you push with brute force, you’ll completely wreck your throat.

As the pitch gets higher, focus on projecting your voice farther into the distance.

Raise your eyebrows firmly and try sending your voice from just in front of your eyebrows at all times! Also, breath and explosiveness are key—take in a lot of air and shoot it out like a beam with momentum, aiming far away! It might be tiring until you get the feel for it, but once you do, your voice will come out comfortably!
