Young Skinny – Actually, You Know, [Official Music Video]
To tell you the truth,yangusukinii

This is the second single by Young Skinny, a four-piece rock band from Japan, released in October 2022.

I think it’s a charming mid-tempo track with a slightly heartwarming vibe.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so in that sense it feels very easy to sing as well.

If you make sure to feel the accents of the snare drum in the backing track while you sing, that alone can make it sound pretty good—so give it a try! I also recommend having fun by imitating the artist’s slightly distinctive singing style.

I think there are many men in their 30s who like anime songs.

For such anime song fans in their 30s, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is probably one of the most popular bands.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Sugar Song and Bitter Step.” Its appeal lies in the seamless succession of high-pitched phrases that feel light yet deliver an exceptional sense of liberation.

If you watched Blood Blockade Battlefront as it aired, be sure to try singing it.

Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā45rank/position

This is a signature song by Golden Bomber, the air band that whips venues into a frenzy with their overwhelming performances.

Released as a single in October 2009, it was re-released in 2011 as a special edition to commemorate a commercial tie-in.

An alternate version used in a House Foods commercial also drew attention.

Its charm lies in a style that deliberately exaggerates pitiful emotions—like lingering heartbreak and self-contradiction—and sings them comically.

The catchy melody is unforgettable after just one listen, and the beat makes you want to move your body.

If everyone sings along while mimicking the choreography in the chorus, a karaoke room instantly transforms into a live venue.

It’s a perfect number for livening up occasions like cross-generational events.

This song, included on the 2019 album “boys,” is a poignant ballad that depicts an unfulfilled romance from a woman’s perspective.

With a range of just over one octave, it’s relatively narrow compared to their other tracks, and its gentle melody set to a slow tempo makes it easy to sing.

However, be mindful that there are high notes using falsetto in the latter half of the chorus and a few other spots.

Because the range is narrow, you can of course adjust the key; for men who struggle with higher registers, lowering the key slightly is recommended.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO47rank/position

Since it was the CM song for NTT Docomo’s “Docomo no Gakuwari,” some of you might recognize it as soon as you hear the chorus.

The group also made their first appearance at the 2017 Kohaku Uta Gassen, where they performed this song! The overall vocal range of the song is G#3 to D#5, and while falsetto does appear, it’s fundamentally composed within a range that women can sing without strain.

Because it’s a band piece, it’s important to really listen to the drums and lock into the rhythm.

Rather than obsessing over pitch, try moving your body as you sing—this helps you relax and makes it easier to project your voice.

Sing while riding the groove, as if pouring your feelings into it!

Sakanaction’s 11th single incorporates elements of pop and dance music.

Created as the theme song for the film “Bakuman,” the track fully showcases the band’s musical identity.

It blends a retro atmosphere with a modern sound in a perfectly balanced way, making it a surefire crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

Released in September 2015, it achieved major commercial success, including reaching No.

1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart.

The music video features staging reminiscent of Showa-era music and variety shows, allowing you to dive deeper into the song’s world.

It’s a cleverly arranged, comical yet calculated number that makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

If I sing to the sky175R49rank/position

175R is a rock band that made its major debut in 2003.

They announced a hiatus in 2010, but resumed activities in 2016 and continue to perform at many festivals and play live shows.

When you think of 175R, many people probably think first of this song, Sora ni Utaeba.

The song overall gives the impression of having many long tones, which really bring out vocalist SHOGO’s higher register.

The vocal range spans an octave and a half from F3 to B4, which might feel a bit high for male singers.

That said, the song starts mostly in the lower range, so as long as you can handle the rapid, wordy line at the end of the chorus, it’s a very satisfying song to sing.

It builds even more toward the end with call-and-response parts, so definitely give it a try when you want to hype things up at karaoke.
