Dream Space TravelSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars is a band that has remained at the forefront of the Japanese music scene for many years.
Whenever they release a new song, it still draws public attention, and their track “Yume no Uchū Ryokō” has racked up over 1.5 million views on YouTube.
This song has a relatively narrow vocal range for a Southern All Stars piece, with most of the vocals sitting in the low to mid register.
It might feel a bit low for men with naturally high voices, but those with an average vocal range should be able to sing it without any issues.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
pure whiteFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, you probably picture his sophisticated, high-difficulty vocals rooted in R&B and soul.
Naturally, many of his works span a wide vocal range, but “Masshiro” is different.
This piece features a musical style with a soft, indie-pop-like atmosphere, and the vocal line is set within quite a narrow range.
For most men, it should be easy to sing without adjusting the key.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya
A single by singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, released in July 2023.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death.
It’s an up-tempo, very cool track that really lets you enjoy Kitani’s pleasantly rough, masculine vocals to the fullest.
Because of the song’s nature, the vocal melody doesn’t go into extremely high notes, so I think many men can sing it at karaoke without changing the key.
That said, there are parts in the chorus that are sung in falsetto (head voice), so practice switching registers smoothly there.
Since it’s an up-tempo song, be sure to listen closely to the karaoke track so your singing doesn’t lag behind or, conversely, rush ahead.
dancerVaundy
Despite its simple sound, it has depth and feels incredibly pleasant.
It’s a work by singer-songwriter Vaundy, whose major-label debut as an active university student drew attention, released digitally in 2021.
The lo-fi, stylish vibe that conjures images of a city night is irresistible.
It has a charm that makes you want to keep listening.
If you sing while letting your mind wander through the slightly mysterious world of the lyrics, you might feel really good.
Sing it with a gentle voice, please!
Male (61–70)
Hide-and-seekYuuri
Surprisingly, “Kakurenbo” has a rather narrow vocal range—it’s sung gently between E3 and F#4.
It’s popular across generations, and many of my students used to sing it! It’s also a song that makes it easy to add dynamics, so it should be easier to score points for expressiveness.
For the A verse, keep the volume down and sing softly; in the B verse, higher notes start to appear, so focus on the rhythm and make sure to hit the pitch bar accurately.
The C section in the latter half is where the most emotion comes in, so it’s fine to sing with more power than you think you need.
The tricky part is the quiet section in the final chorus.
Since the chorus entry comes after the highly charged C section with the emotions pulled back, try resetting your feelings right before the chorus to create a clear break—this should help you sing more calmly and stay on pitch.
humorKitanitatsuya
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani is hugely popular among teens and people in their twenties for his wide-ranging musicality and catchy songs.
He has many great tracks, but one I especially recommend that you can sing without changing the key is Humor.
It features falsetto in the chorus, but the notes are high enough to be handled in chest voice as well, and the overall range is relatively narrow, so anyone with an average vocal range should be able to sing it in the original key.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
20 years oldONE OK ROCK
While incorporating elements of Western music, the riffs retain a distinctly Japanese rock flavor, creating a work where Japanese and Western contrasts intermingle: “20 years old.” With a range of mid1 G to hi D#, the vocal span is quite narrow for a ONE OK ROCK song.
However, more than the limited range, what truly enhances singability is the chorus’s vocal line.
In rock, it’s standard to ramp the voltage to the max in the chorus, but here the chorus is kept remarkably restrained.
In fact, there are no long sustained notes and no shouts.
It doesn’t require flashy techniques, and the range is narrow, so it’s undoubtedly an easy song to sing.
