Compilation of Songs Starting with “Me” [Melody, Merikuri, etc.] (221–230)
Mortality of Melody LineONE OK ROCK
“Mortality of Melody Line,” included on the 2nd album BEAM OF LIGHT and one of the rare tracks with lyrics by guitarist Toru.
Its rapidly shifting beats and ensemble, paired with emotional vocals, create an addictive quality.
The melody doesn’t leap much and the overall range isn’t wide, so it’s easy to sing; however, the key is high, so adjust it on the karaoke machine if it doesn’t fit your vocal range.
A catchy, fun-to-sing rock tune that comes highly recommended.
Make It Out AliveONE OK ROCK × Monster Hunter Now
Currently, the Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK is earning high acclaim overseas as well.
Their style, which weaves a high-tone voice into orthodox rock, is extremely catchy and powerful.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend as a reference for mixed voice is Make It Out Alive.
In this piece, the chorus features a mixed voice enhanced with the band’s signature shouts—the true essence of ONE OK ROCK.
It’s also likely to help improve basic vocal skills, making it an ideal choice for a practice piece.
Married With ChildrenOasis
Oasis, a rock band from Manchester, UK, is also recommended for women.
Among the tracks on their albums, you’ll find not only rock songs but plenty of ballads as well.
This particular song, which sings about feelings for one’s family, is also recommended.
Melody/Mother GoosePENICILLIN
PENICILLIN is a band formed in 1992.
Since their formation, they have never disbanded or gone on hiatus, and they continue their musical activities as a three-piece.
Each member also pursues solo activities, and they perform live both in Japan and overseas.
The band’s debut release was the 1996 single “Melody/Mother Goose.” The video is for “Mother Goose,” which was used as the theme song for an NHK drama.
MeribaPEOPLE 1
PEOPLE 1 is a pop band that has been active since 2019.
In Japan’s rock scene—where high, thin vocals are common—their thick, loud vocal tone is especially appealing.
Among their tracks, I particularly recommend Meriba.
Because it uses a lot of falsetto, it might feel difficult.
It’s true that sung as-is, it’s challenging, but the song’s range isn’t actually that wide.
If you lower the key by about two semitones from your comfortable range, you’ll be able to sing most parts in chest voice—so give it a try.
May DayPlastic Tree
A US rock-style track with an excellent sense of groove that often gets played live.
Just like how it was placed as the second track right after the instrumental on their 1998 sophomore album “Puppet Show,” it opens with a thrilling rush and a melodious, floating feel that’s simply pleasant.
The youthful vibe suggested by the words in the lyrics, along with the addictive balance of gloominess and mischievousness, creates a compelling world.
The guitar and bass going wild—especially in the interlude—are irresistible.
It’s a masterpiece that perfectly fits a lazy May afternoon.

fairy talePlastic Tree
The poetic lyrics woven by Plastic Tree’s vocalist, Ryutaro Arimura, evoke the feeling of drifting between dreams and reality.
This work is included on their self-titled album “Plastic Tree,” released in May 2024.
Its fragile, melancholic worldview is striking, beautifully expressing the conflict between the harshness of reality and a heart that longs to dream.
The sentimental band sound is another key allure.
When you feel crushed by reality, this song may gently stay by your side.
