Male (71–80)

It has a stylish feel thanks to its Latin-style rhythm and melody.

The overall vocal range is wide, from C3 to C5, but the chorus isn’t high; C#4 is used on average.

The highest note, C5, appears in the final English section, but it’s fine to sing it lightly in falsetto.

Since there aren’t any parts where you have to belt and the song is sung with a gentle vibe, it’s easy even for people who aren’t used to karaoke.

In the A section, where the lyrics move quickly, clearly pronouncing the vowel on the first beat makes it easier to lock into the rhythm and sing.

For the chorus, I also recommend really feeling the Latin groove and keeping the rhythm with your body as you sing! There are bits of English here and there, which boosts the stylish atmosphere, and being able to sing the full song will look really cool.

Love will winKAN

This is KAN’s eighth single overall, released in September 1990.

It was a major hit, being featured as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Quiz Omoshiro TV” and as an insert song on Fuji TV’s “Hocchan’s Yamada Katsutenai TV.” The tempo and rhythm make it very easy to sing, and the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so I think many men will be able to sing it in the original key.

Basically, feel the steady four-on-the-floor beat, and be careful not to let the singing become monotonous as you enjoy it.

budKobukuro

Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” is quite a masterpiece, isn’t it? It’s a song I’d love to hear sung either solo or as a duo.

Since Kobukuro is a duo, the vocal range is fairly wide—A#2 to A#4—but Kuroda’s parts are quite low, so if you’re singing as a pair, taking Kuroda’s part might work well! By the way, when I sang this song with a male partner, I had him handle the entire melody while I stuck to the harmonies.

The harmonies in this song are beautiful, so if you have a partner, definitely try tackling the harmony parts too.

Overall, try to sing it with a calm, restrained feel so it doesn’t turn into belting.

Male (81–90)

Soliloquy LonlinaONE OK ROCK

02. Soliloquy Lonely (Hitorigoto Lonely na) [ONE OK ROCK].

A masterpiece where Taka’s expressive power truly shines, “Hitorigoto Lonelina.” The vocal range spans roughly mid1 F to hi C#, so it isn’t especially wide.

For women, it falls within a comfortable range.

Even for men, it’s not impossible since you can lower the key to some extent.

The vocal line is fairly monotonic throughout, making it generally easy to sing.

However, near the end of the opening chorus, there’s a shouted sustained note an octave higher.

Because it’s taken up an octave, it’s hard to nail the pitch, and it also demands vocal endurance, so this section definitely requires solid practice.

Straight Up feat. JESSEDragon Ash

Dragon Ash is a band that was hugely active from the 1990s through the 2000s.

They had a major impact on hip-hop in the mainstream scene and still enjoy a strong following today.

The track where Dragon Ash collaborates with JESSE—known as the vocalist of RIZE and The BONEZ—is Straight Up feat.

JESSE.

Since the song is crafted as a Western-style rock track with a lot of English, it might feel challenging.

However, the actual vocal line has a narrow range and is quite simple, so the vocal difficulty is surprisingly low.

While you do need to sing with a somewhat loud, powerful delivery, most male singers should be able to perform it without changing the key.

The track “Nounai Mayaku Remix feat.

CHEHON, MAKA, Kujun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keith” is currently blowing up in the hip-hop and reggae scenes.

Born from DJ RAY’s entry into the battle scene, it features verses that transcend the boundaries between hip-hop and reggae.

The hook in this piece has a very narrow vocal range by RAY’s standards, so many people should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.

Heads, be sure to add it to your repertoire.

KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom
KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo

This is a song that was used as the theme for NHK’s Sochi Olympics in 2014.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

Although it’s a song by Kobukuro, “Ima, Saki Hokoru Hanatachi yo” has a very clear vocal melody, making it easy to sing even solo.

As for how to feel the rhythm, taking it slowly and relaxed works well, but doubling the tempo also makes it easier to sing and is recommended.

The overall vocal range of the song is C3 to F#4, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably in chest voice.

Also, since it’s a ballad, creating contrast between the lower parts of the verses (A and B sections) and the lift in the chorus will enhance expressiveness and help boost your score.

Try to keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop while you sing!
