BetelgeuseYuuri
Yuri’s “Betelgeuse” is a song that many of my students, regardless of gender, practiced a lot.
The more I taught it, the more I thought, “This song is tough,” so it’s perfect for those confident in their vocal ability! The overall range is D3–D5, with sustained high notes.
The hardest parts are, as expected, the chorus and the C section.
Once you start singing, there’s no break, you can’t find spots to breathe, and many struggle to switch to falsetto like Yuri does.
Since most of Yuri’s songs have almost no rests once they begin, it’s crucial to balance how much volume you use—at what “percentage” you’re singing.
For breath placement, if you sing everything legato and hold notes too long, you’ll definitely lose your breathing spots.
Try cutting the word endings to create small gaps.
If you want to switch into falsetto, relax and let the sound float upward lightly; it will naturally shift into falsetto—give it a try!
F.E.A.R.B’z
A hard rock number with that signature B’z flair—defined by its heavy sound and ominous worldview! Just being able to handle B’z at karaoke is already impressive, but if you can really nail this one, you’re basically a rock star.
“F.E.A.R.” spans everything from Inaba’s low spoken parts to high-pitched shouts, demanding both expressive range and precise vocal control.
The guitar riff stands out prominently, so keeping the rhythm of the vocal line steady can be tough.
Also, it’s easy to rely on your throat for the shouts, but that can blow your voice in one go—make sure to engage your vocal cords properly.
Place a finger in the hollow between your collarbones and sing as if you’re projecting the sound from there!
will-illTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
An emotional rock ballad where despair and beauty intertwine.
It’s the ending theme for the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion 15th anniversary rebroadcast project.
If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a song that lets your expressive power shine as if you’ve lived in the world of Code Geass! I’ve written a lot about TK’s appeal in my karaoke articles, but I even find his death growls beautiful.
In particular, “will-ill” is tough to learn to begin with, and I’m really struggling with it myself.
There are multiple sections with death growls, and compared to other songs, the tone of the growls is different, making it quite difficult to sing well.
In any case, focus on your vocal cords and try not to use your throat as much when you sing!
Run Away[Alexandros]
![Run Away[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hWiki8UOImY/sddefault.jpg)
An emotional rock number that portrays the will to push forward while still affirming the choice to run away! If you can nail it at karaoke, it’s a song that lets you embody the strength to stay true to yourself.
With the triple challenge of high notes, long sustains, and fast phrasing—especially in the chorus—it’s a battle between your throat and your mental game! Since [Alexandros]’s vocalist, Mr.
Kawakami, uses plenty of beautiful falsetto high tones, it’s highly recommended for those who are good at falsetto-leaning vocals.
The overall range of the song sits high as well, spanning A3 to F#5.
Open your throat well, add speed to your breath, and sing in falsetto.
If you send a thin stream of sound straight upward from the top of your head, you should be able to produce falsetto effectively.
It might also help to imagine your head being pulled upward from above!

Sunny dropNovelbright
A number known as a challenge piece for its wide range and continuous high notes.
The high leaps in the final chorus are especially an S‑tier difficulty point.
The overall vocal range spans roughly C#3 to F#5, which is quite wide, and you should pay particular attention to the switch into the high tones in the chorus.
Of course, if you just belt recklessly, you’ll wreck your throat, so be mindful of resonance placement and aim to let the highs come out comfortably.
In any range, keep the image of ringing the space behind your head, and as the pitch rises, increase your explosiveness.
Before singing, don’t forget to warm up with lip rolls, humming, and similar exercises!
FAKE STYLEFAKE TYPE.
A signature song that could be called the origin of FAKE TYPE., where electroswing collides with ultra-fast rap! If you can nail it at karaoke, you’ll definitely earn the title of Tongue-Twister Monster! There’s no official tie-in, but it went viral on YouTube and Nico Nico Douga, boosting its popularity.
It fuses retro and modern elements, creating a unique world where a swing-jazz-style track is layered with ultra-speed rap and humor.
When singing, you’ll be tested on breath control for the nonstop fast rap, enunciation, sense of rhythm, and lyric memorization.
It’s packed with an enormous number of words, so focus on accents to keep your mouth moving smoothly!

This song gives me the impression of a ballad that really lets the listener sink into it.
To sing it with a beautiful, breathy tone like vocalist Fujiwara’s, lung capacity, diaphragmatic breathing, and bodily awareness are all important.
You might think, “There’s so much to keep in mind…,” but don’t worry! First, make sure to really listen to the backing drums when you sing.
If you match your phrasing to the drum accents, it becomes easier to keep the rhythm and to hit the high notes.
By the way, even my female students have struggled with this song, saying “It’s so high!”—but I think the key lies in how you produce the sound.
If you sing with the image of resonating in the back of your head, the overall tone becomes softer, bringing you closer to Fujiwara’s gentle voice.
There are also soaring long tones, so try finding the placement that feels comfortable for you and sing from there.
