Watercolor MoonHata Motohiro
Hata Motohiro’s masterpiece “Suisa no Tsuki” is marked by its emotional melody.
Released after the nationwide hit “Himawari no Yakusoku,” this track has a notably acoustic and mellow finish.
Its vocal range is relatively narrow at mid1F to hiC, but the chorus features sustained high phrases up to hiC, making it harder to sing than it might sound.
If you have a high voice, you might try singing the falsetto parts with mixed voice.
Be sure to check it out.
Ghost of the SeaYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “Umi no Yuurei,” released in June 2019, features a distinctly Japanese flavor and a fantastical melody, even among his works.
The A and B sections are somewhat subdued, and the moment the chorus begins, the pitch movement suddenly becomes very dramatic—making the song quite challenging in a straightforward musical sense.
While the piece employs mixed voice, falsetto also appears very frequently, so rather than strictly matching the original, it’s better to switch between falsetto and mixed voice within your own comfortable singing range.
KanadeSukima Suichi
This was Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.
It was used as an insert song in the film “Rough” and as the theme for Night 3 of Fuji TV’s four-night drama series “Sotsu Uta.” It’s a classic piano ballad that stayed on the charts for over 100 weeks.
Because it requires switching between a soft chest voice and falsetto, it’s one of the best pieces for practicing vocal control.
In the latter half, during the D section, the chest voice key rises, so be careful not to sing harshly there.
If your goal is solely to refine your vocal production, you can stop before that part and don’t need to sing the entire song.
festivalFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s masterpiece “Matsuri.” While it makes full use of distinctly Japanese sounds, its arrangement throughout strongly evokes elements of Black music.
The key feature of this track is, above all, the abundance of vocal runs.
It’s not straight-up R&B, so the runs are simpler compared to authentic R&B, but even so, there’s plenty for Japanese listeners who aren’t used to Black music to learn from.
The vocal range itself isn’t especially wide, so this is a must-listen for anyone looking to hone their run/embellishment techniques.
Lovers AgainEXILE
A quintessential EXILE ballad, “Lovers Again.” The harmonies between the two vocalists are pleasant to listen to.
Since it’s not a song that requires belting, you can sing it comfortably without pushing for volume.
To produce that volume when needed, focus on resonating through your body.
If you place a hand on your chest while you sing, you’ll notice the vibration.
This resonance is crucial—when your body resonates, your voice carries clearly to both yourself and the listener, even without singing loudly.
Another key is using your breath.
If you just force your voice out nearby, your vocal cords won’t vibrate efficiently.
But if you project as though you’re sending your voice farther away, your vocal cords will vibrate better and you’ll sing more easily.
Keep these points in mind and enjoy mastering this ballad!
HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.
L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.
I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.
The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.
If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.
When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.
And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!
Fu re te Fu re ruTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
The B-side to “unravel,” which you could call TK’s signature song, is actually “Fu re te Fu re ru.” It features even higher notes and more explosive falsetto than “unravel,” and it’s one of my absolute favorites to sing at karaoke.
Rather than a clean falsetto, TK’s piercing, almost crying-scream falsetto stands out, so unless you can naturally hit high notes, it’s pretty tough to pull off… That said, it’s such a cool track that if you think of it as falsetto practice, I highly recommend it for rock lovers! It’s fine to start with a weak falsetto.
Just keep practicing using your breath over and over and gradually build your explosiveness—that’s the idea!
