Rock ’n’ Roll in a Dumped Mood

TOM★CAT is a band that gained popularity for its highly original sound, blending elements of rock into the unique genre of techno kayō.

They have many classic songs, but among them, the one that stands out as especially popular is “Furarekibun de Rock’n’ Roll,” isn’t it? While the song has an energetic and bright feel, its vocal range is relatively narrow, spanning mid2 C# to hi F.

Since the overall range sits high, those with lower voices will need to lower the key as a premise; however, because the range itself is narrow, there’s ample room to transpose it downward.

The future is in our hands.

Here is a song released by THE BLUE HEARTS in 1987.

Some of you might know it from the version covered by Masato Hagiwara, which was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor.” It was created for a generation that disliked being constrained by school, with many labeled as delinquents or “yankees,” and there were likely many who lived their youth much like the lyrics describe.

I hope you’ll sing it at karaoke and bask in those sepia-toned memories.

Unicorn - Wonderful Days

This song is a track from the album “SPRINGMAN,” released in 1993, and it drew attention as a piece written around the time of their breakup.

While the song has a languid, laid-back feel, the lyrics are deeply suggestive.

Though they’ve drifted apart now, they still hope that someday they can share the same dream again.

It’s a masterpiece brimming with that sentiment.

[Alexandros] – Wataridori (MV)

Even if you’re not very familiar with [Alexandros]’s songs, I think many people know at least this one.

This track, which lets you fully savor the beauty that is one of their greatest charms, famously starts with a guitar-only intro before the bass and drums come in.

The A and B sections progress relatively evenly, and then it all surges in the chorus—such a cool structure.

The lyrics, of course, are positive, singing of encouragement and resolve, making it feel like a great way to start the day.

Released in June 2015, the song was also used in a car commercial and has been loved by a wide audience.

Christmas songback number85rank/position

back number – “Christmas Song” Music Video

This is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015.

It was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.

drama “5→9: The Monk Who Fell in Love with Me” and won the Best Drama Song at the 87th The Television Drama Academy Awards, so many of you have probably heard it.

Sung by vocalist Iyori Shimizu, whose high notes are wonderfully beautiful, it may intimidate some people into hesitating to try it at karaoke after just one listen—but there’s no need to worry! It’s true that, for a male-vocal track, the original key is set quite high, but the vocal melody itself is relatively simple.

If you adjust the key to suit your range, many people should be able to aim for a high score.

There are sections with some pitch leaps, such as in the latter half of the chorus, but if you prepare in advance—practicing transitions between chest voice and falsetto and paying attention to vowel and consonant articulation in the lyrics—you can take on the challenge with confidence.
