ComplicatedAvril Lavigne3rank/position

Avril Lavigne – Complicated (Official Video)

This is a song released in 2002, and even people who don’t usually listen to Western music might recognize it from cable radio.

The tempo is on the slower side, so the lyrics aren’t difficult, and if you sing carefully, the English shouldn’t be a problem! The title “Complicated” means things like “complex,” “troublesome,” “intricate,” “difficult,” or “challenging,” so putting too much emotion into it might actually hurt your score.

I think the people who can sing it lightly, just matching the pitch bar, tend to score higher.

Katakana-style English is fine, so try singing it while keeping a steady vertical groove with the rhythm!

Avril Lavigne – Wish You Were Here (Official Video)

Is there any other song that so candidly sings about the loneliness of being without someone you love? It’s a track by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne.

She breaks out of her tough shell to lay bare the earnest feelings of longing for someone far away.

Released as a single in September 2011, it appears on the album Goodbye Lullaby, which portrays a more personal world.

The music video drew attention for scenes of her setting a red flower on fire and singing through real tears.

Just watching those raw expressions is enough to stir your emotions and bring you to tears.

We all have times when we put on a brave face but deep down just want to cry and reach out for someone, don’t we? For nights like those, this song might be just what you need.

Sk8er BoiAvril Lavigne5rank/position

Avril Lavigne – Sk8er Boi Bass Cover (Tabs)

Start with the basics instead of jumping into something difficult right away! This is a global hit by singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released as her second single in 2002.

Its classic “this is rock” sound is exhilarating! The bass in this song uses the so-called root-playing technique.

Precisely because it’s simple, you can understand its role in supporting the piece.

From there, develop it into your own style of bass playing!

Slipped Away

A moving ballad that leaves a lasting mark on the heart.

Canadian songstress Avril Lavigne sings with profound love for her late grandfather.

Feelings of loss, regret, and the hope of reunion are expressed quietly yet powerfully.

The song was included on the album Under My Skin, released in May 2004.

The album sold about 8 million copies worldwide and reached number one in 13 countries, marking a turning point that showcased a shift in Avril’s musical direction.

It’s a song I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has experienced the loss of someone dear.

Rock N RollAvril Lavigne7rank/position

Avril Lavigne – Rock N Roll (Official Video)

A song by Canadian female singer Avril Lavigne from her self-titled fifth album, released in November 2013.

It was released as a single ahead of the album in September of the same year.

Now, this track has been selected under the theme of “easy to sing even for the tone-deaf,” but it doesn’t exactly have the kind of straightforward, melodic pop feel you find in Japanese kayōkyoku, so it might feel a bit hard to approach for Japanese listeners.

Still, the song itself is a very simple rock tune, so if you don’t obsess over precision and just go with the groove, there’s a good chance you’ll end up sounding cooler than you expect.

There are parts that require quite a high register if you try to sing it like the original, so if high notes aren’t your strong suit, it’s better to lower the key a bit.

It’s also great material for learning the kind of “vocal embellishments” often found in Western music, so approaching it from that angle could be interesting.
