Become my boyfriend and be gentle with me.Okamura Yasuyuki
Yasuyuki Okamura is a singer-songwriter who was active in the 1980s and 1990s and has recently been drawing renewed attention.
Influenced by the great artist Prince, he’s known for a genre-defying musical style and a distinctive, well-regarded vocal delivery.
His classic track “Become My Boyfriend and Be Kind” is perfect for learning about groove.
Blending funk and hip-hop into a kind of disco music, this piece is ideal for practicing how to catch the feel with your instincts rather than through theory.
Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko
This was Kiyohiko Ozaki’s second solo single, released on March 5, 1971.
The greatest appeal of Ozaki’s singing lies in his richly resonant, canzone-like vocal style, which can be fully appreciated in this song.
In particular, the high notes in the chorus showcase that charm to the fullest.
Also, considering that, unlike today, it was impossible back then to apply pitch correction to recorded vocal tracks, his superb intonation is nothing short of astonishing.
While it may be quite difficult to acquire this kind of vocal production and pitch sense through self-study alone, I believe this song is an excellent practice piece for anyone aiming to improve their singing.
For your next step up, be sure to cultivate vocal skills that approach Ozaki’s own!
KusushikiMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s masterpiece “Kusushiki.” This song has been selected as the theme for the popular anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” and, along with the anime’s success, it has been drawing a great deal of public attention.
In terms of melody, it’s in the energetic major key that Mrs.
GREEN APPLE excels at, spanning from the mid-low to high vocal range.
Not only does it feature falsetto and mixed voice, but it also delivers a powerful presence throughout, so using this piece as a practice song will significantly boost your vocal skills.
HeavenMrs. GREEN APPLE
The hot-topic hit “Heaven” is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s latest release.
Unlike their usual clear and lively vibe, this track features an emotionally charged melody that really conveys a distinct world-building feel.
The vocal line is highly challenging: it employs a wide range of techniques including whisper voice, falsetto, and mixed voice, as well as moments where the voice is powerfully projected and others where it’s deliberately restrained.
It’s a song packed with the appeal of a high-register artist—definitely worth checking out.
LOST IN PARADISE feat. AKLOAli
ALI is one of Japan’s leading funk bands.
Their sound is characterized by a blend of funk and jazz, and lately they’ve often collaborated with hip-hop artists and rappers.
Among ALI’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is LOST IN PARADISE feat.
AKLO.
While it spans a wide vocal range, it emphasizes groove even more, making it perfect for anyone looking to sharpen their sense of rhythm.
Be sure to check it out!
FateOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s third single, released in July 2019.
The most important point when singing this song is, of course, how well you can control and deliver the high notes.
If you tighten your throat and end up using a so-called “throat voice,” you’ll likely crack or become breathy more often.
Practice supporting your upper body firmly with your core and producing high notes without squeezing your throat.
To keep the power in the high notes, work on delivering thick, full high tones.
globeYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 14th single, released in July 2023.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the film “The Boy and the Heron” (How Do You Live?).
Over a simple yet grand piano-centered backing track, you can fully enjoy Yonezu’s gentle yet powerful vocals.
In particular, the use of a chest-leaning mixed voice in the A section should be very instructive for those aiming to master mixed voice.
For the upper-middle range of the vocal melody, try singing so that the sound resonates broadly against your upper palate.
