[For Men] These Songs Will Make You a Better Singer! Effective Tracks for Karaoke Practice (161–170)
yellowback number
This is back number’s 21st single, released on September 29, 2021.
It was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s original romance reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf (Niji to Ōkami wa Damasa Renai).” The vocal melody features significant jumps in pitch, so to sing it well at karaoke, it’s important to first trace the melody accurately and memorize it.
As mentioned, because the song has a very wide melodic range, being able to switch smoothly between your natural voice and falsetto—just like the original singer—is essential.
In that sense, it’s an ideal song for practicing smooth transitions in vocal production.
cherry blossomKobukuro
This is Kobukuro’s 12th single, released in November 2005.
After its release, it was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ns’ Aoi” (aired from January to March 2006) and went on to become a long-running hit through the spring of 2007.
Its gently flowing melody makes it a very pleasant, classic piece to listen to.
The vocal line doesn’t have extreme pitch changes, and the rhythm is very simple, so I think it’s also an ideal practice song for those whose vocal production is not yet stable.
Throughout the entire song, try practicing by singing each word of the lyrics clearly and carefully, so that your voice doesn’t become rough.

My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars released this as their third single in March 1979.
It’s astonishing that it’s been re-released on CD many times and has remained a long-selling hit for over 40 years! That said, since it was released in the ’70s, the melody and song structure follow the classic lineage of Showa-era kayōkyoku and the contemporary “new music,” making it very easy to sing as a karaoke number.
However, Kuwata’s vocals are extremely distinctive and unique, so it’s important to be careful not to slip into an imitation.
With Kuwata’s voice, even slightly strained high notes can sound appealing, but that charm comes from his own vocal qualities.
When you sing it at karaoke, try to avoid making it sound like an impression and sing it in your own way.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
It’s the eighth single by Spitz, released in April 1994.
The original is arranged for a band, but at amateur live shows it’s often performed as a solo guitar-and-vocal piece, and even now, nearly 20 years after its release, it remains a popular song.
Both the melody and chord progression are simple, making it easy for anyone to sing and ideal as a song for practice.
That simplicity is likely one reason it has stayed popular for so long.
Since it has a gentle tone, try to sing it with a soft voice.
Off The MaskYuuta
Yuta, a Japanese member of the hugely popular K-pop group NCT, is well-known even among many male listeners in Japan.
His solo track Off The Mask showcases a loud rock sound you don’t usually hear in the group, featuring repeated shouts throughout.
It has a catchy rock vibe, so the vocal lines themselves are relatively easy to sing.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to improve the quality and stamina of their shouts.
Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
Otomo Tamio’s sixth single, released on June 21, 1996.
It’s a mid-tempo rock song with a relaxed, roomy groove, but actually expressing that kind of expansive feel through singing is surprisingly difficult when you try it.
I think this track is an ideal piece of material for developing a rock-style sense of rhythm and groove.
If your vocal phrasing leans ahead of the backing track, it can ruin the song, so practice until you can faithfully reproduce this big, laid-back groove!
HouyouKawaharada Shinichi
Japanese actor Shinichi Kawaharada’s second single, released on October 21, 2020.
And in fact, this song is one I worked on—I handled the arrangement and sound production, vocal direction, and keyboard performance.
I aimed to make it a generally mid-tempo, easy-to-sing piece, but there are a few deliberate twists, such as how certain phrases resolve melodically.
Please pay close attention to pitch and vocal delivery in those sections when singing.
