The 2024 release “Dystopia.” Its vocal range is mid2A to hiD, which is quite high for male singers, but likely just right for female singers.

Since the lowest note is mid2A, there’s ample room to lower the key, so men should adjust the key with a focus on ease of producing the highest notes.

There’s a shouted long note near the end of the chorus, so be careful not to cough or let your voice get too thin at that point.

The song “C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h.” is widely acclaimed among fans as a masterpiece.

It’s one of ONE OK ROCK’s standout ballads, and purely in terms of tempo, it’s among the easier tracks in their catalog.

The vocal range spans from mid1 D# to hi D#, which is slightly high for male singers, but not excessively wide, so with proper key adjustment it should be manageable.

However, there are a fair number of long sustained notes, so take care not to strain your throat—avoid shouting with your jaw lifted to prevent unnecessary tension.

Kimisidai TrainONE OK ROCK

Kimisidai Ressha, the track that closes the fifth album Zankyo Reference—produced under the concept of further evolving the band—was re-recorded in the studio as a rearranged version of an unreleased live track previously available only on a venue-exclusive CD.

With a tight rock-ensemble intro and a B-melody that hints at irregular meter, its hook-laden arrangement really sticks in your ears.

Although the melody is complex and spans a wide range, the key is relatively low for a ONE OK ROCK song, so it may be easier to sing.

If it still doesn’t fit your vocal range, try adjusting the key settings on the karaoke machine.

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.

This song blends energetic sound with a positive message.

It’s included on the album Zankyo Reference, released in October 2011, and has become a popular track frequently performed live.

Written and composed by ONE OK ROCK’s vocalist Taka, it sings about the importance of finding and protecting what matters to you in a modern society where truth and falsehood coexist.

With a will strong enough to light up the darkness, it urges listeners to set their sights and live each day with a forward-looking mindset.

It’s a perfect song not only for those who want to sing it at karaoke, but also for times when you want to fire yourself up.

Mighty Long FallONE OK ROCK

Mighty Long Fall by ONE OK ROCK, which drew attention as the theme song for the film Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno.

Although the English lyrics are striking, the song is surprisingly arranged with a singable vocal line.

The range is fairly wide, from mid1F# to hiC#, but since the highest note is hiC# in both falsetto and chest voice, it’s easy to adjust the key by using that as a reference point.

There are many shouts and the pitch movement is quite dynamic, but as long as you have a solid grasp of your own vocal range, it’s not an overly difficult song—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
