Go for it!Urufuruzu50rank/position

An energetic cheer song by Ulfuls, with powerful shouts and an up-tempo melody that resonates in the heart.

Its theme is walking forward with confidence and courage, carrying a message to face difficulties with a positive attitude.

Upon its release in December 1995, it took the music scene by storm, as if casting new light on the spirit of the times.

The album “Banzai” also became a massive hit, selling over one million copies, and the band went on to perform in the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen the following year.

This work is truly a song of encouragement for the heart, gently giving you a push when you need a little boost in everyday life or want to rally yourself.

If I sing to the sky175R51rank/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.

TM NETWORK’s smash hit “Get Wild” is best known as the theme song for the classic anime City Hunter, which recently drew global attention through a live-action remake.

It’s also been used in the Paris Olympics “no-spend uncle” meme, earning support from younger audiences.

While its emotional melody stands out, there are plenty of hype moments, and the song is crafted within a very narrow range—mid2A to mid2G—making it exceptionally easy to sing.

The third single “Jitterbug,” chosen as the ending theme for the music program CDTV, is a track that won broad support with its positive lyrics and driving ensemble, earning the band their first No.

1 on the indie charts.

Since the lyrics are in Japanese, it’s easy to remember, and the catchy melody makes it a good choice to try at karaoke.

However, there’s a leap in pitch from the low notes in the pre-chorus (B-melody) to the chorus, so be careful not to go off pitch—especially if the key is at the edge of your range.

Hi-STANDARD’s classic “Stay Gold.” Characterized by a uniquely creative sound that blends alternative rock with hardcore punk and melodic hardcore, it became a massive hit in the 1990s.

The most singable aspect of this track is, above all, its rough vocals.

Instead of delicate vocal control, it leans on gritty, hard-edged singing, which gives you a fair bit of leeway.

The louder your vocal timbre, the more this song shines—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

[Official] The High-Lows “Messenger from Sunday” [Included on the album ‘flip flop’ (2001/1/24)] THE HIGH-LOWS / Nichiyoubiyori no Shisha
Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓

The iconic rock band of the ’90s, THE HIGH-LOWS, continues to move many people’s hearts with their classic songs.

The wish to be taken somewhere far away is delivered alongside a melody that sinks deep into the soul.

Featured on their 1995 debut album, this track was also used as the ending theme for the TV show “Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji,” earning support from a wide audience.

Whether it’s the bonds with your friends or a crossroads in life, this song is sure to give you courage.

It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, so give it a try!

Driver's HighL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many songs, “Driver’s High” is one of the most popular.

It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide acclaim.

The song’s vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 E to high B.

While high B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s delivered with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.

It’s a perfect piece for practicing mixed voice, which requires strong projection, so definitely give it a try.
