shutterYuuri
It’s a heartbreaking love song where Yuuri’s emotions seem to explode as the song progresses toward the latter half.
Yuuri’s songs often have easy-to-follow structures, and most build up in the order of verse A → verse B → chorus.
Because of that, you need to add momentum to each melodic section when singing.
He’s a recommended artist for those who want to absolutely peak at the chorus when they sing.
Some of my students sing his songs in vocal training and always say, “It feels so good to sing the chorus!” Since most of his songs are in chest voice, it’s important to project your voice without hesitation.
Even if you don’t have a lot of volume, resonating in your chest makes it feel great to sing! Try placing your hand on your chest, feel the resonance, and sing out confidently.
Magic CarpetKawasaki Takaya
“Mahou no Jutan” (Magic Carpet) is one of Takaya Kawasaki’s signature songs.
Many people sang it in vocal training sessions as well.
The song is three minutes long, with the first chorus ending at around one minute, so it’s easy to learn and sing even if you don’t know it yet.
Since this song is basically sung softly without belting, resonance is the key when you perform it.
First, listen to the track, take a good breath, and try humming along.
If you can even vaguely feel vibrations around your brow or in your head, that’s excellent.
Start slowly and carefully, and as you get used to it, transition directly into your singing voice—the same areas will keep resonating! It’s also recommended to alternate between humming and singing while looking at the lyrics.
FlowerFuji Kaze
This song was released as a digital-only single on October 13, 2023.
It’s also the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Best Teacher” (Ichiban Suki na Hana), so some of you may have heard it.
It’s sung mostly in the mid-to-high range, and since Fujii Kaze’s vocal style is falsetto-based, many people will likely find it easy to sing.
It’s especially recommended if you tend to use a lot of breath when you sing.
Also, if you’re looking for something stylish, how about a song by Fujii Kaze? In all his tracks, rhythm is the key point.
If you can really feel the hi-hat in the drums, you should be able to sing with a great groove and stylish flair! Try singing with a dancing mindset!
Why not? / Who cares? / It’s all good.WEST.
This is WEST.’s debut song—an energetic, Kansai-style, full-throttle hype track! Even if you’re tone-deaf, you can power through with call-and-response and high energy, making it a perfect practice song for getting the crowd going.
Songs that pull everyone in are essential for people who struggle with pitch.
In “Ee ja nai ka,” there are calls and chorus parts in the A melody, and the chorus has that “everyone together” vibe, so you’ll naturally have fun! As long as you nail the belting part right before the last chorus, you’re good—so focus especially on practicing that section.
If you hit the first note cleanly, you’ll be fine.
Take a breath, lock in the timing, and your voice will come out smoothly!
Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento
Hai Yorokonde was released as a digital-only single.
It’s a soul-stirring anthem that stands with people struggling in life, and because it’s rhythm-focused, it’s the kind of song you can sing along to by feel even if you can’t nail the pitch! Since Kento Kochinoke often performed it on TV, many of you might already know this track.
It’s just under three minutes long, and it feels like all its coolness is packed tightly into that short span.
The tempo is fast, so memorizing the lyrics might be a bit tough, but what matters most is to “keep time with the rhythm” and “ride the groove.” For the rapid-fire sections, you can get through them by enunciating the vowels clearly.
It also helps not to open your mouth too wide.
Male (41–50)
DoraemonHoshino Gen
Although it’s a Doraemon song, since it’s also a track by Gen Hoshino, it’s turned out very sleek and stylish.
The overall vocal range is B2 to F4, with almost no high notes, so I think many people can sing it in the original key.
The lyrics are cleverly crafted, reminding you that it’s truly a Doraemon song.
A lot of people probably know it, so why not go for it and sing it at karaoke? It’ll definitely get the crowd going! In the final section where the same phrase repeats, Hoshino doesn’t stay “smart” and instead sings with genuine feeling, conveying a nice sense of “I want to have fun!” Also, in the part where the chorus phrases come in succession, try singing with a strong awareness of the rhythm!
IBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a band supported by a wide range of listeners, from people in their 30s down to teens.
You might not associate them with low vocals, but they actually have many low-register phrases, making a lot of their songs easy to sing for men with deeper voices.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “I.” This song has a narrow vocal range, and the A and B sections are mostly in the low to lower-mid range.
The chorus features falsetto; if that part is difficult, try either raising the key to make the falsetto easier, or lowering the key and singing it in mixed voice.
