DREAMS COME TRUE – “Give Me a Gentle Kiss”

It’s a very emotional love song, and it really feels like you can immerse yourself in its world.

I sing this one often too, and since the notes used are basically from F#3 up an octave, it’s a song you can sing without too much strain.

If other DREAMS COME TRUE songs are too high for you, try “Yasashii Kiss o Shite.” There’s a high D5 that comes in partway through, but give it a solid accent and sing it comfortably! You can take plenty of breath before you start phonating, so imagine taking a big inhale through your mouth and launching into the sound with a running start.

Also, the “n” line can be tricky to pronounce.

Pushing your voice out more than you think you need to is probably just right! If you aim your voice into the distance as you do this, it’ll come out smoothly without catching in your throat.

Creephype - “Kiss in the Morning” (MUSIC VIDEO)

CreepHyp is a popular band fronted by vocalist Sekai Kan Ozaki.

They specialize in indie rock rooted in pop music and have released numerous hit songs.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Asa ni Kiss.

You might not feel this way because of the full-band arrangement, but the vocal line is as simple as a children’s song, and there aren’t many high notes, so even someone who’s tone-deaf—if they’re a woman—would find it very easy to sing.

ZIGGY「GLORIA」

ZIGGY is one of the rock bands that sparked the band boom of the ’80s.

Their hallmark sound was influenced by LA metal and bad-boys rock, and they were especially known for their upbeat songs.

Speaking of ZIGGY’s classics, isn’t “GLORIA” the first that comes to mind? The vocal line in this song spans a fairly narrow range, from mid1 G to mid2 G, and the pitch movement isn’t very dramatic.

There’s a hi C used as a vocal embellishment, but since this is an ad-lib section that doesn’t earn extra points in karaoke scoring, you don’t need to stick to the original pitch there if the height is too demanding.

Kariyushi58 “Anma”

This is one of the signature songs by Kariyushi58, an Okinawan band, in which they sing about their feelings toward their mother.

There are many words, but the tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing.

The melody is more like speaking than a song with rising and falling pitches, so it’s easy to remember.

The Checkers “Breath of Dawn” MV

The 23rd single by the seven-member rock band The Checkers is a love ballad that sings of deep affection and a resolve for the future.

The lyrics, expressing a strong desire to protect the one you love, truly stir the heart.

Released in June 1990, it reached No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart.

They also performed it at the 41st NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, marking their seventh consecutive appearance.

With its beautiful melody and not-too-high key, it’s also popular as an easy song to sing at karaoke.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to sing with feelings for someone special.
