[For Men] These Songs Will Make You a Better Singer! Highly Effective Tracks for Karaoke Practice (41–50)
A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota
Shota Shimizu’s signature song, “Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody o.” It’s a love ballad released on October 28, 2015, and served as the theme song for NHK’s Drama 10 “Designer Baby.” It’s hugely popular at karaoke; expressive emotion and delicate pitch control are the keys to a high score! The tempo is relaxed, so you have plenty of breath and can sing each phrase carefully, but if you pour in too much emotion, your pitch can actually waver.
So start by prioritizing accurate pitch and rhythm.
The vocal range is D#3 to C#5, which is a bit high for male singers.
How well you use falsetto and how you place the high notes in a comfortable spot will greatly affect how easy it feels to sing.
Some of my students strained by pushing chest voice too much on the high notes.
Make good use of falsetto!
W/X/YTani Yuuki
Released in May 2021, “W/X/Y” is one of Tani Yuuki’s signature songs! It’s a recommended love song for those who want to practice falsetto naturally without strain, and it makes it easy to move from chest voice to mixed voice to falsetto.
I’ve taught it a few times myself, and the melody line was tougher than I expected.
I recommend firmly memorizing the melody line before singing.
In particular, the B section has a melody line that clearly uses falsetto when you listen, and Tani Yuuki generally has a gentle tone that gives his singing a light, airy quality.
Start by imitating: take a good breath, then sing gently as you produce your voice.
Since falsetto uses a lot of breath, the key point is to “take in a lot of air.”
proofflumpool
It seems this was the set piece for the 2011 (78th) NHK All-Japan School Music Competition, Junior High Division! The vocal range is quite wide, from A2 to C5.
The falsetto parts appear in the chorus.
The melody line is easy to follow, building nicely through a verse (A), pre-chorus (B), chorus, and final chorus.
First, the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to overuse your throat there.
If you watch choirs or singers’ facial expressions, you’ll notice their eyebrows and facial muscles are lifted quite a bit.
Simply lifting your facial muscles like this helps open the throat and makes singing a bit easier.
It also helps you transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.
In addition, make sure to fully support and release your breath on the high falsetto notes.
Aiming your voice straight up toward the top of your head makes falsetto easier to produce.
With just a small shift in awareness, the song becomes much easier to sing—give it a try!
Love SongGReeeeN
“Ai Uta” under the name GReeeeN.
Released in 2007, every new track they put out was a massive hit, and back then GReeeeN had the image of being the go-to group for high-pitched songs.
“Ai Uta” is a ballad that delivers a straightforward message of love powerfully in chest voice.
For karaoke, it’s perfect for honing mixed voice, emotional expression, and breathing technique.
Another hallmark of GReeeeN is that they sing almost entirely in chest voice without using falsetto, and they’re an exceptionally skilled vocal group.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to seriously build their mixed voice! Lung capacity matters, but the key is keeping your body steady by focusing on the tanden (lower abdomen) and how you use your breath.
If you master quick, explosive inhales and exhales, you’ll gradually be able to hit higher notes too.
Try singing with the intention of projecting your voice far into the distance.
broad daylightKing Gnu
King Gnu’s signature song, “Hakujitsu.” If you like singing, you’ve probably tried it at least once.
How did it go when you actually sang it? The more you attempt it, the more you realize just how incredibly difficult it is! “Hakujitsu” is a powerhouse ballad that demands delicate emotion and overwhelming vocal ability.
It’s a challenge piece for advanced singers at karaoke, training your range, rhythm, and expressiveness all at once.
I’ve sung it a few times myself and was shocked—“Was it always this hard?” Since King Gnu’s vocals are split between two singers, it’s pretty tough to pull off solo.
Still, you’ll want to master Iguchi’s falsetto parts.
Be very mindful of diaphragmatic breathing! Once you can produce a solid falsetto, the pitches themselves aren’t that hard, so the key is to exhale steadily and generously with a thin stream of air.
Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
Personally, I think this is arguably the most difficult song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
It goes down smoothly when you listen to it, so it’s easy to assume you could sing it without trouble, but once you try, the fast tempo and pitch make a lot of people lose their way.
The song itself is a summer staple where exhilaration and melancholy intersect.
In karaoke, it’s a rewarding challenge that tests your overall ability—range, tempo, and expressiveness.
“Ao to Natsu” has a different feel in both the first and second verses, giving the impression that there are many songs within a single track.
The vocal range is, of course, wide—D#3 to E5—and the intensity ramps up toward the end with a flurry of high notes.
Momentum matters, but choosing where to switch to falsetto is also key.
Tackle each melody one by one.
Let’s practice as summer approaches!
white noiseOfisharu Higedan Dism
It’s the opening theme song for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Arc.
During vocal training, my students and I were getting excited, saying, “That intro is so cool!” The song itself blends a driving feel with emotional lyrics, making it fairly challenging.
I recommend it for men who want to train range, tempo, and expressiveness all around.
One of my students even used the final melodic section to work on high notes.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to D#5—exactly two octaves.
For the high notes, the key is to avoid pushing too hard and instead create impact by keeping the sound relaxed and open.
By the way, when I told my student, “Don’t force it—send your voice far,” they were able to release tension and sing with a great tone.
Give it a try as a reference!
