RAINSEKAI NO OWARI8rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “RAIN” Short Version PV Theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”

Released in July 2017, it was the theme song for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”! I think it’s a SEKAOWA-style ballad with a gentle, swaying feel.

The overall vocal range is D#3–F#4, which isn’t too high, so I recommend singing in a calm, storytelling manner.

If you use diaphragmatic breathing, take in plenty of air, and push a block of breath forward as you sing, it should give a gentle impression.

The trick is to let your voice out slowly! For the higher notes, make your voice a bit sharper and release it quickly to make it easier to hit the pitch.

Try singing as if you’re imitating Fukase.

KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

It’s the opening theme from the anime “Naruto Shippuden,” hugely popular among teenage boys! It’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! When you sing it, focus on the key points: keep a solid sense of tempo, feel the occasional bouncy rhythms, and pay attention to the falsetto in the chorus.

With fast-tempo band songs, it’s easy to get excited and speed up as you sing.

Try not to sway your body too much—stay centered so you can maintain a steady rhythm.

For the bouncy rhythm, lightly use your knees to move up and down and you’ll nail the timing.

Make sure your falsetto resonates in your head voice! Overall, I recommend singing lightly with a bright, heady resonance.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE10rank/position

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is a band with overwhelming support from young people.

Rather than being characterized by highly original musicality, their hallmark is an approachable sound that prioritizes catchiness, and they’ve released many hit songs to date.

However, despite their catchiness, Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs tend to be extremely difficult to perform.

That’s why we recommend Bitter Vacation.

With a range of mid1 C# to hi A, it’s on the narrower side for a Mrs.

GREEN APPLE song, so you shouldn’t struggle too much in terms of vocal production.

That said, the overall key is on the higher side, so transposing is essential.

As for crowd-pleasing impact, it’s outstanding—definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

DOES – Overcast Sky / THE FIRST TAKE

Released on June 18, 2008, it’s the fifth opening theme song for the TV anime Gintama.

At just three minutes long and with a repeating melody, it’s extremely easy to remember.

I think it’ll be a big hit with fans of anime songs, rock, and bands! The vocal range is C3–F4, which is comfortably within the range for many male singers.

If you’re good with high notes, you might find it a bit lacking, so try raising the key when you sing! By the way, songs with a narrow range that are easy to sing can sometimes feel a bit dull and less enjoyable.

In those cases, try adding exaggerated dynamics to each phrase, emphasizing the initial accents, or making small tweaks to build excitement.

If you avoid sounding too flat and learn to sing it with a pleasant flow, you’ll enjoy it even more!

HANABIMr.Children12rank/position

Mr.Children 「HANABI」 MUSIC VIDEO

Mr.Children is a band that arguably the Heisei generation listened to the most.

Whether you’re in your 30s born in the Showa era or in your 30s born in the Heisei era, you’ve probably sung one of their songs at least once.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is HANABI.

It features a chorus full of excitement, yet the pitch movement is relatively steady, so you can sing it at an after-party karaoke without pushing yourself too hard.

However, it does include quite a few low G-sharp notes, so a certain depth in vocal range is required.

I wonder if I’d still say it’s too late.Saucy Dog13rank/position

Saucy Dog “Would I Say It’s Too Late Now?” Music Video <4th Mini Album “Take Me” Released on 2020.9.2>

Saucy Dog’s “Imasara datte boku wa iu kana” captures youthful emotion without holding back, making it a perfect song for teenage girls who want to linger in the afterglow of a bittersweet love.

This track, which resonated widely on TikTok, features Saucy Dog’s signature delicate melodies and Shinya Ishihara’s emotional vocals.

Its universal theme of heartbreak turns it into a ballad that shines with any singing voice.

Whether at karaoke with friends or during a quiet moment alone, why not let yourself sink into its deep feelings?

Remioromen – March 9

A classic that continues to be widely sung as a graduation and wedding song.

The overall vocal range is C3–G4, making it popular as an “easy-to-sing for men” track.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can take solid breaths and prepare while producing your voice comfortably.

Up to the chorus, the melody stays in the lower range, so trace the pitches carefully.

In the chorus the range rises, and if you’re not used to it, you might tense up.

Take a good breath on the beat before the chorus, then release it all at once!
