Wherever you areONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK’s signature song “Wherever you are.” Since it’s sung as a love song that vows eternity, you’ll want to use falsetto to really bring out the song’s appeal.

That said, the falsetto in “Wherever you are” appears mainly at the beginning.

The song builds toward the latter half, so about two-thirds is sung in chest voice.

If you sing the initial guitar-backed section firmly in falsetto to create contrast, it lands stylishly.

Many people who like rock and band music seem to want to sing ONE OK ROCK.

The high range can be a hurdle, but ballads let you cover the high notes with falsetto, so they’re recommended.

Open your throat and keep the breath flowing steadily!

The song “Clock Strikes,” included on the sixth album Jinsei×Boku=, whose title reflects the life theme of frontman Taka, was chosen as the theme song for the video game Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! (Like a Dragon: Ishin!).

Its lyrical melody, carried by a rock ensemble that evokes a sense of floatiness and depth, leaves a strong impression.

Although the overall key is high, the vocal range itself isn’t very wide, so if you adjust the key to suit your voice, you can sing it comfortably at karaoke.

However, because the way the lyrics fit onto the melody is distinctive, make sure to learn it thoroughly before attempting it in front of others.

“Be the light,” included on the 6th album Jinsei×Boku=, was used as the theme song for the film Space Pirate Captain Harlock.

Despite its simplicity, the rock ensemble conveys a sense of grandeur, and even though the track runs nearly six minutes, it never feels long.

With a relaxed melody and tempo, and a vocal range that isn’t too wide, it’s also easy to sing at karaoke.

However, since all the lyrics are in English, make sure to learn them well before attempting it so you don’t fall behind while singing.

Secret Heart DoctrineONE OK ROCK

The 1st single “Naihi Shinsho,” literally meaning “writing the heart kept within,” served as the band’s first single and major-label debut.

Its fast-paced, classic rock ensemble really amps up the energy.

The overall vocal range is narrow and, for a ONE OK ROCK song, the key is relatively low, making it easier to sing at karaoke.

The arrangement is also simple, so it’s a recommended rock tune to pick when choosing songs to match the vocalist.

Always coming backONE OK ROCK

Starting with the gentle tones of acoustic guitar, this song encapsulates the appeal of ONE OK ROCK.

Released in March 2016, it was featured in an NTT Docomo commercial.

Centered on the themes of conflict and renewal in a romantic relationship, it portrays two people who experience arguments and uncertainty, yet ultimately return to each other and deepen their bond.

Taka’s delicate vocals beautifully capture the wavering of emotions.

Also included on the album Ambitions, this track is recommended for those struggling with a relationship or those who want to get to know ONE OK ROCK’s musical style.

It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, so why not give it a try?

(you can do) everythingONE OK ROCK

“(you can do) everything,” included on their major-label first album Zeitakubyou—titled to reflect a work packed with a variety of music—is a refreshing track whose striking guitar riff and driving 8-beat tempo will lift your spirits.

Although the overall key is on the higher side, there aren’t many large melodic leaps and the range isn’t very wide, so if you set the key to suit your voice, it’s comfortable to sing.

It’s a rock tune everyone can enjoy together—perfect for livening up karaoke even if you’re not very confident in your singing.
