This track is a major single by B-DASH.

It’s meant to be enjoyed by ear, and if you actually look at the lyrics, the English and Japanese are all jumbled.

But that’s B-DASH’s signature—its English-like vibe makes it really cool.

The vocal range is D#3 to A#4, with the highest note being a high A#; it’s on the higher side, but most of the song sits around D4.

Since it’s a short song, it might be fun to just go with the flow and sing it without worrying about the lyrics! Give it a try!

Koi no Uta – GO!GO!7188

This is the third single by GO!GO!7188, a three-piece rock band that disbanded in 2012.

Beginning with a chorus featuring vocals and guitar, the song is a touching number whose lyrical words of heartache and gentle melody resonate deeply.

While it’s a simple rock ballad in structure, the distinctive bass line in the latter chorus adds a striking accent, making it a compelling listen.

It’s a great pick for karaoke among people of the same generation, with a chorus everyone can sing along to—especially recommended for women in their 30s.

Surely more than anyone else in the worldNagayama Miho & WANDS88rank/position

Surely more than anyone else in the world

This is a very famous song and one of Miho Nakayama’s signature tracks.

I imagine many people sing it.

The collaboration with the rock band WANDS is also very special.

The overall vocal range is F#3–B4, and since the chorus uses the top note B4 frequently, it’s an easy key for those who are good with high notes.

If you feel it’s “too high” while singing, don’t force it—try lowering the key by one or two steps.

If belting in chest voice is difficult for you, adding clear accents in the high parts will help the sound come out more easily.

You can probably sense where the high sections are as you sing, so try aiming for those spots and pronouncing just “ah” there to target them precisely at first.

Also, for pronunciations with the vowel “i,” pulling the sound too wide horizontally creates tension.

Try to keep some space inside your mouth and avoid overemphasizing the “ee” sound.

Please give me wingsakai tori89rank/position

Red Bird “Please Give Me Wings” 1971

Akai Tori was a folk group that was active mainly in the 1970s.

This signature song of theirs, known for its beautiful harmonies, features memorable lyrics that depict a longing for freedom through the image of flying on white wings.

Released in February 1971, it resonated with many people against the backdrop of the era’s student movements, and it has continued to be loved across generations—so much so that it was used at the opening ceremonies of both the Nagano and Tokyo Olympics.

With its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember melody line, it’s also a karaoke favorite.

It’s a classic Showa-era song that’s sure to be a hit at karaoke with people of any generation.

I did nothing for two hours.wasureranneeyo90rank/position

A sound that only people 25 and under can hear

The band Wasureranneyo has won popularity with their sharp rock sound and comedic lyrics.

They’re especially supported by boys in their teens and twenties.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend for people who aren’t confident singers is “Did Nothing for Two Hours.” The pitch is on the higher side, but the melody is easy to memorize and you don’t need to sing it perfectly clean, so overall it’s a low-difficulty song.

The fact that it’s very short is another point that makes it easy to sing.
