Frederic “Oddloop” Music Video | Frederic “oddloop”

Frederic is a rock band that delivers its own unique songs incorporating rock and dance music.

Known as one of their signature tracks and a staple at live shows and music festivals, “Oddloop” drew attention thanks to its music video featuring an expressionless woman dancing.

The choreography—swaying the body while swinging the arms in the same direction to the band’s rhythmic performance—is delightfully addictive.

Because the simple moves repeat, even beginners can enjoy the dance.

Try showcasing a unified dance in sync with the energetic vocals.

Active Three MinutesToukyou Jihen79rank/position

Tokyo Incidents – Active Three Minutes

Tokyo Jihen is a band centered around Seiji Kameda, featuring Ringo Sheena as the vocalist.

Although the band disbanded in 2012, they left behind numerous hit songs, so many people—even teens—are likely familiar with them.

While they’re known for their uncommon, complex chord progressions in Japanese music, the vocal parts are surprisingly on the easier side.

Since Ringo Sheena herself isn’t the type of singer who relies solely on vocal prowess, those who lack confidence in their singing should definitely look to her as a reference!

Poi poi poi pop poi poi popi—ayaman JAPAN80rank/position

Ayaman JAPAN “Poi poi poi popoi poi popi”

A wildly imaginative piece that astonishes listeners with its nonsensical wordplay and powerful sound.

Despite its frequent use of dirty jokes, the humorous lyrics and performance shape it into an addictive track.

Released as a single in December 2010, it was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP,” enlivening living rooms across the nation.

Known as Ayaman JAPAN’s signature song, it also achieved commercial success, reaching No.

42 on the Oricon weekly chart.

A perfect pick when you want to hype up a party or event.

Enjoy it with the energetic choreography, and the atmosphere is guaranteed to light up instantly.

B-BlueBOØWY81rank/position

B-Blue

Among men in their late 40s, many probably listened to BOØWY quite a bit.

BOØWY left behind numerous memorable rock classics, and among them, the song I especially recommend for its ease of singing is B-Blue.

While its heart-pounding melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.

It’s a song you can handle even when your voice is worn out after a second party, so definitely add it to your repertoire.

Stay GoldHi-STANDARD82rank/position

Hi-STANDARD – Stay Gold [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

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.

Future is YoursSambomasutā83rank/position

Sambomaster / Future is Yours MUSIC VIDEO

This is the 23rd single by the three-piece rock band Sambomaster, released in August 2023.

It was selected as the theme song for the Toho-distributed animated film “New Dimension! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE: Battle of Supernatural Powers ~Fly, Fly, Hand-rolled Sushi~.” Since their debut in 2004, Sambomaster has been popular for their straightforwardly simple songs and slightly comical image, and their charm remains as strong today as it was back then.

That appeal is fully present in this track we’re introducing here.

As you’d expect from their songs, the vocal part is very simple and easy to sing; as long as you’re careful not to fall behind the rhythm, many people should be able to score high—maybe even a perfect 100—at karaoke.

That said, given that the band’s basic philosophy is to record vocals in a single take, it’s probably best not to worry about scores and just have fun!

Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanHONEY WORKS84rank/position

Sorry for Being Cute feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

The song “Kawaikute Gomen feat.

Chu-tan,” which the public rated as going beyond cute into downright calculated, was initially treated somewhat like a ‘red-flag’ track.

However, its blatantly cutesy lyrics actually became a way to proudly show off cuteness, and it gradually rose to become a go-to anthem for girls.

As for the hi D at the start of the chorus, you don’t have to use falsetto there— a light mixed voice works as a substitute.

Try adjusting the key up or down to find the most comfortable range for you.
