ShadowI Don't Like Mondays.

The rock band I Don’t Like Mondays., known for their sophisticated musicality, has been attracting attention.

Unlike the simple melodies often found in Japanese pop, their sound is complex and artistic, earning high praise from many fellow artists.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is “Shadow.” It brings together a wide range of vocal techniques—smoothly sung passages, powerful shouts, and a funky falsetto in the chorus—making it a must-check for anyone looking to improve their singing.

TAKE IT BACKDa-iCE

Da-iCE is a boys group that has gained popularity with high-level dance and vocals.

Even men who aren’t interested in idols have probably heard their songs at least once.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is TAKE IT BACK.

This track is great for practicing mixed voice.

It features extremely high mixed voice parts repeatedly, so it’s not something just anyone can sing, but in terms of mixed voice, it’s about as useful a reference as you can get.

Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS

RADWIMPS’s “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” was released on July 19, 2019 as the theme song for the film Weathering with You.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

The tempo is relaxed and the melody line is easy to follow.

If you sing carefully, one phrase at a time, you won’t fall out of rhythm, making it easy to match the pitch bar.

The overall vocal range is C#3–F#4.

It’s a bit on the high side, but since it’s a gentle song, try using falsetto to create a soft atmosphere.

Aim to resonate in your head for both low and high notes, as if the sound is coming from the top of your head.

Focusing on head resonance naturally lifts your facial muscles, and keeping them raised makes it easier to stay on pitch.

Around the chorus, adding an accent to the opening notes will help your voice project and make it feel great to sing!

Yuzu “Story” Music Video

When I looked up this single released in 2008, thinking “This sounds really familiar,” I found out it was the song used in the Toyota Ractis commercial.

Since it’s a Yuzu song, the key is higher than the average male range, so it’s easier for those good at high notes to sing and aim for a perfect score.

The chorus has many phrases where you hold the ending notes.

Take a solid breath for each one and pay attention to the pitch bar.

I used to tell a student who loved Yuzu and always sang their songs, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It might be tough until you get used to it, but if your pitch drops even for a moment, it’s hard to fix, so make sure you can lock in the notes around your brow area even in falsetto.

Bakemono by Macaroni Empitsu, known as the theme song for the film The Fire-Eating Bird, leans slightly toward the low end with a range of roughly mid1 D to hi C, and its overall range is fairly wide.

The key challenge of this song isn’t the range itself but the rapid shifts in pitch; the chorus features intense up-and-down movement.

Although it doesn’t rely heavily on mixed voice, sudden high tones appear right after low notes, making it an ideal piece for training mixed-voice production with a focus on pitch control.

The night is faintly aglow.EVE

Eve, who enjoys immense popularity in the utaite community, has a strikingly unique voice—sleek and glossy yet somehow childlike.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Yoru wa Honoka.

You might find the falsetto in the chorus challenging, but it isn’t significantly harder than a typical high-range song.

The real tricky part is the low notes right after the chorus; very few male singers can deliver this section with the minimum required volume.

If you’re confident in your falsetto technique and lower register, definitely give it a try.

Fujii Kaze’s “Tabiji” is also a song one of my students practiced, and it’s a great pick for low male voices.

The overall range is B2–G#4, with the verses sitting quite low and the range gradually rising toward the chorus.

If the chorus feels high, try imitating Fujii Kaze’s gentle singing style from the start; using a breathy tone can make it relatively easier to sing.

It’s a straightforward piece for practice, so try singing it with the feeling of gradually building momentum!
