loadTHE toraburyū

THE Toramaru Dragon “Road” FULL Music Video

A massive hit that sold over two million copies in total.

Its poignant lyrics about heartbreak and parting deeply resonate with men in their 50s, making it a karaoke classic! It might feel a bit too mellow when actually sung at karaoke, but it’s perfect for when you want a break.

When singing, pay attention to breath flow and expressiveness for a better performance.

The song builds toward the chorus, so if you sing each phrase of the chorus with the image of growing intensity, it will add expressiveness and enhance the atmosphere.

The key is to sing carefully and delicately—avoid singing roughly at all costs!

Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki

Hideaki Tokunaga – The Broken Radio

This was his 10th single and one of Hideaki Tokunaga’s signature songs.

It reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and became a huge hit ballad, selling a total of about 360,000 copies.

He also performed it at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2006 and 2009, and it continues to be loved across generations.

Many people do impressions of Hideaki Tokunaga, but when you sing it at karaoke, I hope you’ll sing boldly in your own voice! The overall vocal range of the song is F#3 to A4, which may be comfortable for many male singers, but the chorus stays on the higher side, so if you’re not familiar with the song you might end up straining your throat.

It’s very important to keep your throat open and direct your breath toward the notes! Lift those facial muscles and sing with expression!

Emeraldback number

back number – Emerald

It’s a digital-only single released on October 12, 2020, and it’s the theme song for the drama “Dangerous Venus.” “Emerald” emphasizes expressive power, blending delicate romantic feelings with a dark elegance.

It’s recommended for men who want to refine their control of range, emotion, and rhythm.

Another key point is how beautifully you can sing the ad-libs when the melody shifts.

The vocal range is D#3 to B4, which feels relatively restrained for back number.

It’s tough to sing unless you can switch smoothly from chest voice to falsetto, and since the key modulates upward in the last chorus, you’ll likely project better if you use more breath and sing with raw emotion.
