Grandfather’s ClockHirai Ken
This song is famous in Japan as a children’s song, and the version I’m introducing here is Ken Hirai’s cover.
The only differences from the original are that part of the second verse doesn’t have a chorus, and in the third verse the last part of the chorus is sung twice.
Ken Hirai is renowned for his vocal ability, and his performance is nothing short of outstanding.
Since the piece itself is based on a nursery rhyme, even those who aren’t confident singers should find it approachable.
If you feel the original nursery-rhyme backing track isn’t quite your style, try singing with the karaoke track from Ken Hirai’s version.
IdeaHoshino Gen
This is a song by Gen Hoshino released in August 2018, which served as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series “Half, Blue.” It’s a track that conveys the importance of living positively, carrying a powerful message about using the strength of ideas to forge a path even in difficult situations.
Its distinctive sound—where a pop, catchy melody is beautifully balanced with electronic beats and acoustic elements—leaves a strong impression.
It’s a song that gives you the courage to carve out your life with fresh ideas, especially when you’re feeling emotionally worn out, making it perfect for relieving stress.
It’s highly recommended for karaoke when you want a boost of energy, need to face forward and do your best, or are ready to take on a new challenge.

SquallMatsumoto Eiko
A love song from a woman’s perspective that captures the fresh thrill of romance, like the beautiful sky after a passing shower.
It’s a gem of a ballad where a warm, relatable poetic world of bittersweet feelings blends perfectly with a gentle, translucent melody.
Eiko Matsumoto’s vibrant voice vividly conveys the delicate emotions of a woman falling in love.
Released in September 1999, the song drew attention as an insert track for the Fuji TV drama “Perfect Love!” starring Masaharu Fukuyama, reaching No.
7 on the Oricon charts and selling 400,000 copies.
It was also included on the album “From The First Touch” and is known for Masaharu Fukuyama’s self-cover.
monologueHata Motohiro × Matayoshi Naoki
The work “Hitorigoto,” a collaboration between popular singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata and Naoki Matayoshi, winner of the Akutagawa Prize.
In this piece, Matayoshi wrote the lyrics and Hata composed the melody, resulting in a captivating blend of exceptionally deep literary expression—rare in mainstream Japanese music—and a delicate melody.
Throughout, the vocal line is simply structured with no sudden leaps in pitch.
In addition, the overall range is on the narrower side, making it a very singable song for teenage males with lower voices.
SAKURA (Prod. Taka Perry)Aile The Shota
Aile The Shota, a highly skilled artist recognized by SKY-HI, is known for his style that skillfully blends R&B and other forms of Black music into pop, earning strong popularity especially among young women.
Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is SAKURA (Prod.
Taka Perry).
While it features a stylish melody, the R&B elements are relatively light, so you won’t encounter advanced vocal techniques like melisma or other embellishments.
There are no parts that require belting either, making it a song you can handle well with just solid basic technique.
The Oden SongFusee
Fusee is a band gaining popularity for lyrics that portray real, human psychology.
Their powerful melodies are also a draw, and they’re steadily building recognition in the Japanese rock scene.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Oden no Uta.
Despite the unique title, the melody and lyrics are straightforward.
The melody in particular features an emotionally charged vocal line, yet the surprising thing is that the range is relatively narrow, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.
There, thereKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a band that continues to produce many great songs even now.
Lately, they’ve been bringing a playful spirit into their sound, with a freewheeling musicality reminiscent of the old Unicorn—one of their big appeals.
Among KANA-BOON’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Horarara.” It might seem a bit high, but in reality the range isn’t that wide.
The vocal line is simple, but if you don’t breathe properly, you might run out of steam during the chorus, so just watch out for that.
