KICKBACKYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s 13th single, released in November 2022, with an advance digital release in October of the same year.
It was created as the theme song for the TV anime Chainsaw Man.
While it comes across as a powerful rock song, there’s a section in the middle with a slightly classical arrangement, giving the track a distinctly dramatic feel.
In the predominantly rock-arranged parts, practice aiming for a strong yet never rough vocal delivery, and in the classical middle section, focus on clear, high-tone singing.
Since Yonezu himself is an exceptionally skilled vocalist, this pick leans a bit toward the advanced level, but if you’re aiming to level up, definitely give it a try!
Just by you being herekome kome CLUB
Kome Kome Club’s 13th single, released in May 1992.
It has become the band’s biggest hit, selling a cumulative total of nearly 2.9 million copies.
Perhaps because it came out at the end of the bubble era, it’s an interesting song in that it exudes a kind of cheerfulness that reflects its time—something you don’t often find in contemporary music.
Basically, it’s a very straightforward and easy-to-remember song crafted with the karaoke market strongly in mind, in line with the hit-making context of the day.
Yet when you actually sing it, you’ll find melodies that aren’t entirely simple—such as the development in the pre-chorus—which is part of Kome Kome’s unique charm.
If you take care not to get caught in these little “traps” embedded throughout the track, it can serve as a very useful practice piece for improving your vocal skills.
Aim to sing with a lively groove while maintaining a rich, resonant tone.
Producing a deep mid-to-low register is an advanced technique, so proceed with ample care.
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This is actor Masaki Suda’s third single, released on February 21, 2018.
It served as the theme song for the NTV drama series “Kiss That Kills.” In this track, Suda delivers a very youthful vocal performance that doesn’t rely on superficial techniques, conveying the song in a very straightforward manner.
That, in turn, seems to further enhance the appeal of the song’s upbeat, straight-ahead character.
Because the melody develops relatively simply, I don’t think it requires much technical skill to sing.
Precisely for that reason, it can be considered an ideal piece for practicing vocal expression, sense of rhythm, and groove.
If possible, memorize the lyrics and try singing as if immersing yourself in the world of the song.
There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu
Originally released as a major hit single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, the version I’m introducing here is the cover released by Ulfuls as their 21st single in February 2001.
The straightforward, classic Showa kayō-style melody is infused with Ulfuls’ rock flavor, making it very easy to sing for karaoke.
There are no extreme high notes or challenging melodic leaps, so it’s an excellent practice song for learning to trace the melody accurately.
It’s an ideal track as practice material for beginners who are thinking about getting into singing.

Re equation10-FEET
This is the 23rd single by the Japanese three-piece band 10-FEET, released in October 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the drama “Fermat no Ryori” (Fermat’s Cooking).
I found the relatively broad-groove vocal track riding over the up-tempo backing track to be very comfortable and striking.
The vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, so I think it should be easy to sing for most men.
However, the most important point when singing this song is, above all, how well you can recreate the original song’s large, flowing groove of the phrases, and how skillfully—and fully—you can use the rests between phrases.
Be sure to listen carefully to the original and study how it uses “space in the vocals” before you try singing it.
one difficultyPenthouse
Penthouse is a band that continues to embody the city-soul genre.
Their vocalist, Shintaro Namioka, has a rich, husky voice that’s rare among contemporary Japanese artists.
Since many Japanese singers—both amateurs and professionals—tend to lack depth and power in their vocal production these days, mastering his singing style will help you stand out.
Among their songs, Ichinan is especially suitable for improving overall vocal ability: it spans a wide range and makes solid use of falsetto.
At the End of SorrowElefanto Kashimashi
Elephant Kashimashi’s classic “At the End of Sorrow.” Released in 1996, it’s a song that has stood the test of time and still resonates deeply with many listeners.
It’s also a prime example of a track that can help you improve your singing.
While recent songs tend to favor a soft, delicate delivery, this one is the complete opposite.
Its thick, powerful singing style is perfect for training volume and sustained notes.
You won’t learn fine-grained technique from it, but you will develop the belting approach—a skill many modern singers tend to neglect.
