Male (81–90)
RADWIMPSai ni dekiru koto wa mada aru kai
RADWIMPS’ “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 range is C#3–F#4; it’s a bit on the higher side, but since it’s a gentle song, try using falsetto to keep a soft feel.
Aim to resonate in your head for both the low and high notes, as if projecting the sound from the top of your head.
Focusing on your head resonance naturally lifts your facial muscles; keeping them raised as you sing also makes pitching easier.
Around the chorus, accenting the initial note helps your voice come out solidly and lets you sing comfortably.
EXILEmichi
It’s a classic EXILE-style ballad! I’ve sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was really surprised at how low the range is.
Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s songs really have a distinctly male vocal range.
Michi, with its relaxed tempo, spans B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge (C-melody) feels a bit high.
That said, as with any song, if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, using falsetto will definitely help you stay on pitch.
Please sing it in whichever way you prefer.
The key points are: sing carefully overall to match pitch, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.
If you focus on these three, you can absolutely aim for a perfect 100! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressiveness tends to add points, so give it a try!
Future is YoursSambomasutā
This is Sambomaster’s 23rd single, released in August 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the animated film “New Dimension! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE: Super-Powered Showdown — Fly, Fly, Hand-Rolled Sushi.” It’s a straightforward rock song that’s quintessentially Sambomaster—just listening to it puts you in a great mood! You don’t need any complicated pointers to sing this at karaoke! Just have a blast with the sheer act of singing and letting your voice out.
It’s not a track that showcases a low ‘ikebo’ voice, but there aren’t any extreme high notes either, so even those who struggle with high registers can still sing and enjoy it.
If you try aiming your voice toward your upper palate as you sing, your mid-to-high notes should gain more resonance and presence—give it a shot if you like.
Love and MasterpieceKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a band from Osaka that has gained popularity with a wide-ranging sound rooted in pop rock.
They’ve produced many great songs, but among their tracks, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing without changing the key is Love and Masterpiece.
It’s a sharp, energetic rock tune, yet the vocal lines are set relatively low overall.
The rhythm might be a bit tricky to catch, but in terms of pitch, most male singers shouldn’t have any trouble.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Ai to waRADWIMPS
“What is love, really…?” This is a message song that makes you ponder just that.
Created by the rock band RADWIMPS—also known for hits like “Zenzenzense” and “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?”—it was released in 2015.
The song reflects on those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and every voice, sound, and word resonates deeply in the heart.
If you sing it while thinking of someone precious to you, it may strike you even more.
Please, pour your whole heart into it.
Witch of the RainKujira Yoru no Machi
A four-piece rock band, Kujira Yoru no Machi.
They’re gaining serious attention in the Japanese rock scene for their orthodox rock numbers that evoke the Heisei-era J-rock sound.
Among their songs, a particularly easy one to sing without changing the key is Ame no Majo.
It might initially feel a bit high, but because the chorus has a very narrow range, any male singer can handle it in chest voice.
The slightly fast phrasing is tricky, so just watch out for that part.
Men (91–100)
BFFMrs. GREEN APPLE
The performance style of “BFF” features only the three members of Mrs.
Green Apple, with no supporting instruments.
It’s a clean and simple ballad, where each sound stands out.
The vocal range is C3 to D5, with C#4 used frequently throughout the song.
The first note of the A melody is the lowest pitch, which might be tricky to intonate.
For low notes, focus on “releasing the voice slowly” rather than “pushing it out strongly.” If you lift your facial muscles and place the sound as if it’s right in front of you, your low notes will resonate well.
By the way, when singing, it’s generally ideal to keep your facial muscles lifted the whole time.
I always tell my students this, and since Omori does it often, be sure to watch and take note! Also, there’s humming in the song, so definitely give it a try.
If you can hum lightly, the singing will feel easier!
