studio (apartment)Novelbright
It’s one of the tracks on Novelbright’s first major-label three-song CD single, released in a kind of double A-side format together with “seekers,” which is included on the same disc.
It’s a beautiful ballad with a strikingly symphonic arrangement, and the production lets vocalist Yudai Takenaka’s highly expressive singing roam freely over the grand backing track.
The vocal melody isn’t straightforward, which is another distinctive and very appealing aspect of the song.
Takenaka’s performance here showcases all the elements needed to sing a ballad like this, condensed into one delivery.
As practice material, it’s probably geared toward advanced singers, but by the time you can master this song, there’s no doubt your singing will have leveled up several steps.

MAKAFUKARADWIMPS
This song is included on RADWIMPS’ eighth major-label album, FOREVER DAZE, which was released on November 23, 2021.
It also serves as the theme song for the smartphone game app Gran Saga.
It’s a beautiful piece, arranged in a highly symphonic style and finished as a grand ballad.
The melody is quite challenging to sing, so as a practice piece it might be more suitable for advanced learners.
However, there’s a lot you can learn from it, such as singing high notes without forcing your voice and keeping time within a slow-tempo track.
When you practice, focus on clearly enunciating every word of the lyrics and being mindful of the rests in the melody.
You’ll need a strong voice that can stand up to the grand backing track, but be careful not to let your voice or singing become unruly.
In some parts of the song, the vocal track seems to have effects that evoke a Vocaloid-like quality—please don’t try to imitate that.
I don’t want to let go.T-BOLAN
A single cut from T-BOLAN’s first album, released in December 1991.
It’s a song where you can enjoy a relatively masculine vocal tone, and since it doesn’t require extremely high notes, it’s ideal practice material for beginners who want to start working on singing.
However, if your voice becomes thin, you won’t be able to convey the song’s appeal, so you’ll need solid diaphragm support even in the midrange.
Please use it as practice material to strengthen your midrange voice.
single bedSha ran Q
This was Sharam Q’s sixth single, released in October 1994.
I don’t mean to diss him at all (lol), but Tsunku, the vocalist, isn’t exactly a full-on powerhouse singer—he’s more of the “guy who’s pretty good at karaoke” type.
So for men who have some confidence in their singing and want a karaoke piece that will sound good, this is probably ideal.
If you’re using it as practice material, it’s an excellent song in that sense.
For example, with upward phrases that use scoops, it might be better not to try too hard to imitate his delivery and just sing them in your own way.
Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is the 20th single by Ken Hirai, who can be considered a leading figure in male Japanese R&B, released in April 2004.
This song is an ideal practice piece for mastering the “middle voice” and “mixed voice,” techniques that are virtually essential for singing R&B-style songs.
For the high notes in the chorus, a soft high tone achieved with effective middle voice is crucial.
If you strain your throat, you’ll ruin the song’s atmosphere, so be sure to sing with great care.
It’s a slightly advanced-level piece, but I’d be delighted if you’d give it a try!
Rainy BlueTokunaga Hideaki
Hidetaka Tokunaga’s debut single, released in January 1986.
Since it’s a song by Tokunaga, whose clear, soaring high notes are his charm, this might be a slightly more advanced selection.
Ideally, you should take formal vocal training before tackling it, but even if you don’t, try to sing while keeping your throat as relaxed and open as possible when hitting the high notes.
Forcing the high notes will only strain your throat, so avoid that!
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
This is Motohiro Hata’s 17th single, released in August 2014.
It served as the theme song for Toho’s 3D CG animated film “STAND BY ME Doraemon,” among other tie-ins, so many of you have probably heard it.
It’s an acoustic ballad that lets you fully enjoy Hata’s voice rich in high-order overtones, yet the vocal melody is relatively simple and easy to grasp, making it an ideal practice piece for developing a tone with abundant high overtones.
When singing, try to focus on placing the sound against the upper palate inside your mouth.
