Men (91–100)
Ruby RingTerao Akira
This was Akira Terao’s sixth single overall, released in February 1981.
At the time of its release, it was used in a Yokohama Tire “ASPEC” commercial, and it was later chosen as the entrance march for the 54th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament held in the spring of 1982, becoming a massive hit that sold over 1.6 million copies.
As you’d expect from Terao, whose appeal lies in his rich, low, and cool voice, the vocal melody doesn’t use particularly high notes throughout the song, and the tune itself is very familiar and easy to remember.
I think most men can sing it in the original key.
Be sure to resonate your voice solidly in your chest and take care not to let the low notes weaken as you sing.
pretty talk; platitudes; lip service (a colloquial/slangy form of kireigoto, meaning idealistic-sounding but empty words)TOOBOE
Vocaloid producer john, known for compositions with a rock flavor, is also active with his solo project TOOBOE.
Among TOOBOE’s tracks, a song I especially recommend is Kireegoto.
It features a slightly loud arrangement with solid intensity, paired with a vocal line focused in the low–mid range that leaves a strong impression.
It may be a bit low for women, but it’s a song that most men can sing without issue.
There’s no falsetto either, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Men (101–110)
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
It’s a biting yet high-class number that you’ll get hooked on after a single listen! The song is by SEKAI NO OWARI, the band known for hits like “RPG” and “RAIN,” and it was released as a single in 2022.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “HOLiC xxxHOLiC.” Featuring sharp, thorny lyrics, it’s highly relatable—almost as if it speaks the honest truths we can’t easily say out loud.
The melody incorporates hip-hop elements, with a lot of words but a relatively low pitch.
festivalFuji Kaze
The vocal range is on the lower side, but the song is quite difficult, so I recommend practicing thoroughly before performing it.
This piece is by Kaze Fujii, a singer-songwriter from Okayama Prefecture, and it was released in 2022 as his 10th single.
With its mature R&B-style sound and unique lyrics that convey the happiness of living in the present, the contrast feels very characteristic of Fujii’s music.
It’ll make you naturally want to keep time with your hands or feet.
It might also be great for learning whispery vocals and a sultry singing style.
Specimen of Happinessminimamu jiiku
Minimum Sieg is a three-piece rock band from Niigata Prefecture.
They may not be widely known to the general public, but if you’re a fan of Japanese rock, you’ve probably heard their songs at least once.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Kōfuku no Hyōhon” (Specimen of Happiness).
The vocal range is about average; the chorus features falsetto, but it sits at a comfortable height—neither too low nor too high—and the song as a whole stays in the mid range, so it’s quite singable in the original key.
colored perfumeKamiyama Yagi
Released in 2021, “Irokousui” is a song by singer-songwriter Yoh Kamiyama, who is also active as the Vocaloid producer Yuukisan.
It’s a track that captures a nostalgic longing for a loved one.
His deep voice over a rhythmic band arrangement leaves a strong impression.
The melody stays within a narrow range, making it easy to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
The key is to sing with energy to match the driving tempo.
It’s a number that can hype up a karaoke session without needing to belt.
When practicing, pay attention to your breathing points.
Unrequited loveSUPER BEAVER
SUPER BEAVER is a band that’s gained popularity with orthodox J-pop and rock.
They’ve been getting attention in the Japanese rock scene lately, so many of you may already know them.
Their song “Kataomoi” is a ballad notable for its emotional vocals.
Despite being described as emotional, the vocal melody surprisingly doesn’t have much fluctuation, making it relatively straightforward to sing.
However, because vibrato is essential for this song, you’ll need basic vocal skills even if you don’t change the key.
