astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
Despite having nearly 30 years of activity, the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN is still at the forefront.
They have many famous songs, but among them, the most well-known is probably Tentai Kansoku.
The song’s vocal range spans from low G# to mid2 G#, with the lower register being quite deep.
Since a mid2 F appears in the final chorus, if you adjust the key so that you can sing that part solidly, it shouldn’t feel particularly difficult.
Bacchi DancerDOES
DOES is a rock band that’s extremely popular with male listeners.
Many people may have come to like them through the anime Gintama.
Among DOES’s songs, one I especially recommend is Bakuchi Dancer.
It’s a sharp, punchy rock track, but the vocal range is very compact at mid1D to mid2E.
Plus, the singing style is mainly a spit-it-out delivery, so it doesn’t require delicate vocals and is exceptionally easy to sing.
SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji
Some of you reading this article may be a bit older.
For you, I recommend Sarai.
It’s a song well known even among younger generations thanks to its association with 24-Hour TV.
The real charm of this piece lies in its deep, mature vocal line.
Although the arrangement feels grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so men with lower voices should be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of their low tones.
Be sure to check it out.
Like a white cloudsaruganseki
The comedy duo Saruganseki blazed a trail in their era.
It was the duo that Hiroiki Ariyoshi was part of, and they also achieved major success in music.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Shiroi Kumo no Yō ni (Like a White Cloud).
Since the two members aren’t professional musicians, the vocal line is kept very simple, and the range is compact—roughly from mid1 E to mid2 D.
While it doesn’t particularly emphasize the low register, it’s a very easy song to sing even for men with lower voices.
balladKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi is known for having lots of bright songs with plenty of hip-hop and rap elements, but they actually have ballads too! With gentle melodies over piano and string-backed arrangements… this side of Ketsumeishi is really satisfying to listen to, and it looks cool to sing as well! The song runs close to seven minutes, so it’s on the longer side, but it’s highly recommended when you want something mellow.
Of course, there’s rap in it too, but the tempo is relaxed, so it’s easy to learn and easy to groove to.
It seems best to sing while moving your body in a big, open way.
The chorus is a real highlight, so if you sing each phrase carefully, you can really put your feelings into it.
There are spots where it slips lightly into falsetto, which adds a surge of poignancy.
The latter half of the chorus is a sweet spot for singing, so don’t hesitate—project your voice with confidence!
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
It’s an extremely popular song that should be quite easy to sing for women in terms of vocal range! It’s a signature track by Sakanaction, a band known for their blend of electronic music and rock, released as a single in 2015.
It was written as the theme song for the film Bakuman.
The sound, which combines freshness with a retro vibe, has a power that makes it impossible to stop replaying.
It’s the kind of song you can recommend by saying, “When you go to karaoke, start with this one!”
proofflumpool
It seems this was the set piece for the 2011 (78th) NHK All-Japan School Music Competition, Junior High Division! The vocal range is quite wide, from A2 to C5.
The falsetto parts appear in the chorus.
The melody line is easy to follow, building nicely through a verse (A), pre-chorus (B), chorus, and final chorus.
First, the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to overuse your throat there.
If you watch choirs or singers’ facial expressions, you’ll notice their eyebrows and facial muscles are lifted quite a bit.
Simply lifting your facial muscles like this helps open the throat and makes singing a bit easier.
It also helps you transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.
In addition, make sure to fully support and release your breath on the high falsetto notes.
Aiming your voice straight up toward the top of your head makes falsetto easier to produce.
With just a small shift in awareness, the song becomes much easier to sing—give it a try!
