Unchanging Things

Okuda Hanako’s classic song “Kawaranai Mono” (“The Unchanging”).

Released in 2006, it’s well known as an insert song for the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and its orthodox J-pop ballad style has garnered support from many listeners.

The song’s vocal range spans mid2 A# to hi C#, which is a very comfortable and relatively narrow range for female singers.

While the final chorus features a solid development, there’s no key change, so you’re unlikely to struggle with vocal height.

In terms of range, pitch movement, and rhythm, it’s an easy song overall—definitely give it a try.

Stars on the Ground / Miyuki Nakajima [Official]

Miyuki Nakajima’s classic “Chijō no Hoshi” has earned support across a wide range of generations.

While the song is memorable for its incredibly powerful, almost growling vocals, the actual pitch movement isn’t that extreme.

The vocal range is compact, from mid1F to hiA#, and at BPM 100 the tempo is also relaxed.

Even so, the song achieves that level of impact not only through Nakajima’s singing style but also thanks to its strong composition.

Adding a shout at the opening lines brings you closer to the intensity of the original, so if you want to really heat up the karaoke room, try incorporating shouts and give it a shot.

Ringo Sheena – Instinct

Ringo Sheena’s songs, which depict instinctive human desires, impulses, and inner conflicts, are captivating for their distinctive sound grounded in alternative rock and interwoven with elements of jazz and classical music.

Candidly portraying emotions such as jealousy and narcissism, they also express an adult reality that has shed the moratorium of youth.

Released in October 1999, this work was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV music program “FUN” and reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.

Its music video—set in a hospital with innovative direction—also drew attention, winning the BEST FEMALE VIDEO award at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS.

With powerful vocals and highly message-driven lyrics, it’s a recommended track for those who want to enjoy self-expression at karaoke.

Mikito-P “Shoujo Rei” MV

Mikito-P, a Vocaloid producer known for works like “Ii Aru Fan Club” and “Roki,” places emphasis on a classic Vocaloid style, capturing the unique excitement that only Vocaloid can deliver.

While many of his songs are challenging, there are also some that are easy to sing—such as “Shoujo Rei.” Its composition is closer to J-pop, without the typically dense word count found in many Vocaloid tracks.

The vocal range is a moderately high mid2A to hiF, but since the highest note occurs due to a key change, you should be able to sing it comfortably by adjusting the key appropriately.

Bibideba / Hoshimachi Suisei (official)

Suisei Hoshimachi’s “Bibideba” became a hot topic on YouTube in 2024 as an “insanely difficult rap” and a “top-tier challenge” song—have you heard of it? Some of my students actually tried it, and when I taught it, I felt that on a first pass it’s quite hard and the melody is tough to anticipate.

Beyond rhythm and pitch, it includes rapid-fire sections and rap parts—there are lots of elements packed in.

If you can master it, it’s a super fun and satisfying song to sing! In the chorus, many phrase endings switch to head voice, so lift your facial muscles and keep centering your pitch between the eyebrows, imagining the sound traveling from the brow up through the head as you transition to head voice.

Raising your hand toward your head while singing can make the visualization easier and help the voice come out more freely.

For the word-heavy sections, don’t try to articulate every syllable crisply; instead, let the words flow so they ride the melody as you sing.
