unravelTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE

Among TK from Ling tosite sigure’s songs, the masterpiece “unravel” is renowned for its exceptional difficulty.

Known as the theme song for the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul, many people may have discovered it through Ado’s cover as well.

The most challenging aspects of this song are, above all, its vocal range and expressive breadth.

The range spans an extraordinarily wide mid2 A# to hihi A#, with repeated hi G notes in the chorus.

On top of that, it demands a wide variety of vocal techniques, including scream-like phrases and trembling lines that make use of whisper voice.

Its level of difficulty is among the highest even within Japanese rock.

Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE has produced many refreshing songs, with countless hits to their name.

For the film “Ao-Natsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-nichi” (Blue Summer: The 30 Days I Loved You), they wrote “Ao to Natsu.” It’s a song that portrays a youthful summer romance, resulting in an irresistibly fresh and uplifting sound.

Singing it is sure to energize the atmosphere in an instant.

It also spans a wide vocal range, making it perfect for warming up.

Try using this song to warm up both the room and your voice.

It’s a full-on, high-energy uptempo track that’s so typical of Choutokkyuu, and it really gets the crowd going at live shows, with lots of call-and-response parts where everyone can shout together! The overall vocal range is two octaves, from C#3 to C#5, but thanks to the headbanging sections and the many unique lyrics sprinkled with otaku terms and internet slang, you’ll find the high notes come out easily if you sing brightly and keep the hype up.

Don’t worry about pitch—just have fun singing, that’s the most important thing! By the way, I love Ryoga’s funny faces during the song and I always burst out laughing, lol.

Definitely check out the video!

StaRtMrs. GREEN APPLE

This is a song by the band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, who made their major debut in 2015.

It’s the first track on their mini-album “Variety.” The song was also used in a commercial for “Merit.” While it’s pop, it also shows hints of rock, making it an uplifting track.

Vocalist Motoki Omori’s high-tone voice is really pleasant, too.

The rhythm is easy to catch, and it’s a joy to listen to.

When you get together with fellow band music fans, why not kick things off with this song? It’s a track that raises the energy to just the right level.

YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA

An insert song from the drama “If You Turn Around, He’s There.” It’s very well-known—practically every adult knows it.

The chorus repeats the same phrase, making it easy to sing.

With both its popularity and singability, it’s perfect for karaoke.

Raise your fist like CHAGE and ASKA and sing it with lots of energy!

U.S.A.DA PUMP

A comeback hit by DA PUMP that popularized the term “so uncool it’s cool.” It’s easy for anyone to get into, and the choreography isn’t difficult, so it’s easy to copy! That said, since vocalist ISSA has a relatively high range, the song’s overall range is narrow at B3–B4, but the chorus stays high.

If you’re good at sustained high notes in chest voice, you’ll be able to sing the whole thing comfortably.

If high notes are tough for you, try moving your body while you sing—matching your movement to your timing should help you lock in those high notes more and more.

If you want to kick off karaoke with a song that feels like a fresh breeze blowing through, definitely try singing “HELLO”! It’s one of the signature singles by Masaharu Fukuyama, released in 1995, a musician behind many hit songs.

Even the title “HELLO” just feels like a perfect opener, doesn’t it? The band sound that starts with a lively acoustic guitar and the soaring melody are a delight.

The high notes are striking, yet it’s relatively easy to sing, which is a nice bonus.

The lyrics charge ahead into a dream-filled world, capturing the excitement of love.

On top of being refreshing and universally approachable, it’s guaranteed to get an even bigger reaction from those who grew up with it!
