Can I call it magic?Hirai Ken
This is Ken Hirai’s 40th single, released on June 22, 2016.
It’s a slow ballad composed only of acoustic guitar and vocals, and that simple arrangement lets you fully enjoy Hirai’s exceptional vocal ability.
The most important point when singing this song is, as expected, the technique of freely controlling the voice by switching naturally and smoothly between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto.
Of course, to sing this gentle, intimate song, it’s not just about vocal technique—expressive ability based on a deep understanding of the song and its lyrics is also crucial.
That said, all of it ultimately rests on being able to switch registers freely.
If you choose this song as practice material and master it brilliantly, there’s no doubt you’ll gain tremendous expressive power as a vocalist!
Beautiful SunsetKazuahara Ryuto
A digital single by Ryuto Kazuhara, a member of GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE, released in August 2022.
The vocal melody itself—like the overall feel of the song—has a gentle, slightly heartwarming tone, so accurately tracing and singing it shouldn’t be very difficult.
However, for many Japanese singers, the biggest hurdle will likely be faithfully reproducing the slightly bouncy rhythm and sense of groove.
Practice so that you can keep the beat buoyant without letting the rhythm rush.
I think a key tip for improvement is to listen closely to the drum part in the backing track as you sing.
It’s an ideal song for developing your sense of rhythm and groove.
CubeHoshino Gen
A digital-only single by Gen Hoshino, released on October 8, 2021.
It was written as the theme song for Shochiku’s film “CUBE: Once You Enter, There’s No Going Back.” The most important factor in performing this song is, without a doubt, whether you can sing without being thrown off by the highly distinctive and complex drum pattern that stands out on first listen.
If you don’t firmly feel the melody’s rhythm within yourself as you sing, your vocals will be swallowed by the drums.
Prioritize that point and practice with it as your top focus.
In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen
This is Gen Hoshino’s first single, released in March 2011.
It came out as a maxi single with four tracks.
It’s a song that lets you fully enjoy Hoshino’s gentle-toned vocals, making it an ideal practice piece for those who want to develop a soft singing style.
Singing gently doesn’t mean lowering your volume; try to project properly while softening the airflow (the speed of your breath/voice) as you sing.
With a gentle, soft approach, you’ll still cultivate a voice that clearly reaches listeners.
PerfumeEito
This is Eito’s first digital-only single, released in April 2019.
It’s a very simple song made up of just acoustic guitar and vocals.
Because it doesn’t rely much on showy vocal technique and is sung in a very straightforward, natural way, I feel there’s a lot you can learn from it as practice material.
Be sure to listen closely to the fine details of his singing and use it to broaden your own expressive range.
In the higher parts, such as the latter half of the chorus, take care not to strain your throat and cause injury.

Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
Fukuyama Masaharu’s 27th single, released in August 2011.
Many of the songs don’t go very high in pitch, so it’s highly recommended as practice material for men who have just started vocal training and aren’t yet comfortable with the higher range.
If you focus on singing softly, you’ll surely be able to deliver it nicely.
M eighty-sevenYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 12th single, released on May 18, 2022.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film Shin Ultraman, so many of you have probably heard it in the movie’s commercials.
At first listen, it’s a beautiful ballad with a thoroughly mature mood—so much so that you might not even think it’s an Ultraman theme.
Precisely because it’s such a “grown-up ballad,” Yonezu’s vocals here are also of a very high caliber, making it a tough yet ideal piece to practice for improving your karaoke skills.
From the chorus on, the melody features big interval jumps—sharp contrasts in pitch—and frequent shifts in vocal technique throughout.
I’m sure you’ll gain a lot once you can sing this song properly.
It’s a slightly advanced pick, but if you’re aiming to level up your singing, definitely give it your best and learn to sing it!
