Nagagutsu BoyJIJIM

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.

red-yellow fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans)Fujifaburikku

This is Fujifabric’s third single overall, released in September 2004.

The vocal melody doesn’t cover a particularly wide range, and the singing itself is pleasantly unadorned in a good way, so even people who aren’t used to singing can easily pick it up and give it a try.

In the high notes and such, it doesn’t really sound like the original vocals are perfectly projected either, so just be careful not to strain and hurt your throat—if the high tones feel tough, try lowering the key.

As a keyboard player myself, I thought the organ solo in the song was really cool!

The veteran comedy duo Tunnels’ Noritake Kinashi has a solo track, “GG STAND UP!! feat.

Takahiro Matsumoto.” Its funky sound leaves a strong impression.

While it’s groovy, the parts other than the rhythm are relatively low in difficulty, making it surprisingly easy for beginners to sing.

Ketsumeishi is a four-member music group that has been producing hit songs for many years.

They specialize in catchy tracks that blend hip-hop and J-pop, and they continue to consistently release hit numbers today.

“Nōnai Samba” is one of their most singable songs.

Although the title mentions samba, the rhythm itself is the kind commonly found in orthodox J-pop, so you won’t have trouble with the intro.

In addition, the vocal range isn’t wide, so most men should be able to sing it without difficulty.

Ready?Iwatatakanori

A track by Takanori Iwata, performer from Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE, included on his first full solo album “The Chocolate Box,” released in October 2022.

It was pre-released for streaming in August 2022 ahead of the album.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, and the tune itself is crafted to be easy to hum, so what feels most crucial when singing this song is how well you can reproduce its groove.

It’s probably best to learn it together with the dance performance and enjoy the whole package!

You Go Your WayCHEMISTRY

CHEMISTRY “You Go Your Way” Official Video
You Go Your WayCHEMISTRY

Released in October 2001 as CHEMISTRY’s third single.

It’s a beautifully bittersweet rock ballad.

When you hear “ballad,” you might think “Isn’t it hard to sing?” and tense up, and it’s true that this song does require a fair amount of expressive ability to pull off.

However, the melody is very simple and easy to grasp—in a good way—so don’t be afraid to give it a try.

If possible, memorize the lyrics and really understand their meaning; that way you’ll be able to express the song nicely when you sing it!
