Surprisingly, “Kakurenbo” has a rather narrow vocal range—it’s sung gently between E3 and F#4.

It’s popular across generations, and many of my students used to sing it! It’s also a song that makes it easy to add dynamics, so it should be easier to score points for expressiveness.

For the A verse, keep the volume down and sing softly; in the B verse, higher notes start to appear, so focus on the rhythm and make sure to hit the pitch bar accurately.

The C section in the latter half is where the most emotion comes in, so it’s fine to sing with more power than you think you need.

The tricky part is the quiet section in the final chorus.

Since the chorus entry comes after the highly charged C section with the emotions pulled back, try resetting your feelings right before the chorus to create a clear break—this should help you sing more calmly and stay on pitch.

20 years oldONE OK ROCK

While incorporating elements of Western music, the riffs retain a distinctly Japanese rock flavor, creating a work where Japanese and Western contrasts intermingle: “20 years old.” With a range of mid1 G to hi D#, the vocal span is quite narrow for a ONE OK ROCK song.

However, more than the limited range, what truly enhances singability is the chorus’s vocal line.

In rock, it’s standard to ramp the voltage to the max in the chorus, but here the chorus is kept remarkably restrained.

In fact, there are no long sustained notes and no shouts.

It doesn’t require flashy techniques, and the range is narrow, so it’s undoubtedly an easy song to sing.

Although ONE OK ROCK is strongly characterized by emo and hardcore influences, some of their works feature distinctly Japanese-style development.

Among these, the one I especially recommend is “Party’s Over.” It’s a fascinating piece that blends genres like metal and hard rock with phrases that evoke enka or kayōkyoku.

There’s vocalization close to screaming, which can be a challenging part, but aside from that, the range isn’t particularly wide, so it’s surprisingly singable.

A full moon that only blooms at nightONE OK ROCK

The first major-label masterpiece, Zeitakubyou.

This track, “A Full Moon That Only Blooms at Night,” is included on that classic.

Being an early work, the album has a very strong Japanese rock flavor, and among its songs, this one is exceptionally easy to sing.

The vocal range is narrow at mid1 G# to hi C#, and the pitch movement isn’t too drastic.

However, since there tend to be few natural break points, make sure to plan your breathing spots in advance.

Other than that, there aren’t any particularly difficult sections, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

The piece “Koi no Aibou Kokoro no Cupid,” included on the 2008 album Emotion Effect.

While ONE OK ROCK is generally known for songs with a wide vocal range, this track is different.

Though on the higher side at mid2 A# to hi C, it’s built within a somewhat narrower range, and the hi C appears only once in the final chorus.

Since the main high notes center around hi A#, it’s best to set your key with that pitch as the anchor.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

“Sukide Ite Kurete Ii yo,” included on the album Strawberry Next! produced by the internet-based entertainment group Strawberry Prince (SutoPuri) in 2020.

It’s a colorful pop song written and composed by Vocaloid producer DECO*27.

Each SutoPuri member sings within their own vocal range, so try finding the version that matches your range.

The bright, catchy melody is truly moving.

Always by my sideFANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE

It’s the theme song for the movie “Next-Door Stella,” released for streaming on August 6, 2025.

Among FANTASTICS’ songs, its difficulty is relatively easy, centering on a comfortable mid-range that naturally suits male voices.

The tempo is relaxed and flows smoothly, so even beginners can sing it with confidence.

There are spots where you switch from chest voice to falsetto, and the overall vibe is gentle, so when you sing, try to keep it light with the sensation of resonating in your head.

Humming makes this very clear, so it’s highly recommended.

Once you can hum without tension using your breath, you’ll be able to control your airflow better, making those transitions much smoother.

After you get used to humming, turn that same sensation into your singing voice and get a feel for it!
