Canvas weaves words like painting to capture the faint, bittersweet memories nestled in the precious days of youth.
Released in 2008 as a double A-side single along with “You Are Su-te-ki ♡,” this song was chosen as the theme for the drama Honey and Clover.
Since it spans a relatively wide vocal range, you’ll want to pay some attention to key selection.
Overall, the lyrics flow gently and unhurriedly, making the melody itself easy to sing.
If you’d like to try a song with a broader range, this makes a great entry point.
Grotesque feat. Namie AmuroHirai Ken23rank/position
This is a collaborative song by Ken Hirai and Namie Amuro that sharply depicts the contradictions and conflicts lurking within the human psyche.
Released in April 2014 as their 36th single, it serves as a slightly twisted anthem for everyone wrestling with life.
The music video, themed around a courtroom, also drew attention, and the song reached No.
4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Offering a chance to confront one’s inner self, this track carries deep meaning for those of us living in the age of social media.
If you’re singing it at karaoke, it’s recommended for moments when you and your friends want to lay your true feelings on the table.
Nevertheless, I want to do it.Hirai Ken24rank/position
Speaking of Ken Hirai, people often say he has strong, chiseled features and looks Indian—and it’s become a talking point.
He proved it himself in a music video.
Surrounded by Indian people and dressed in Indian attire, he sings.
It’s a track you can enjoy as much for the visuals as for the music.
I will fall in love with you.Hirai Ken25rank/position
Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo Suru is a straightforward, heartfelt song sung to a beloved person you’ll no longer be able to meet.
Released in 2009, it was used as the theme song for the film I Give My First Love to You.
Although the message is passionate, the melody is relaxed, making it easy to sing.
The chorus is a bit high in key while the other parts are relatively low, so be careful when setting the key.
That said, if you adjust the key properly, it’s a song that’s easy for anyone to try, regardless of gender.
Things I like about youHirai Ken26rank/position
An overflowing-with-love number that openly and honestly sings about the parts of a beloved person that feel so dear, “Kimi no Suki na Tokoro.” Released in 2007, this song was chosen as the theme for the TV drama “Enka no Joou.” With its homey atmosphere and lyrics that plainly paint easily imaginable scenes, it offers listeners a gentle moment.
The melody flows in a relaxed and calm way, making it easy to get into even for those not used to singing.
Please try singing it with a kind heart.
confessionHirai Ken27rank/position
Confession is a song that sets dark love to a striking melody.
Released in 2012, it was used as the theme song for the drama W no Higeki (W’s Tragedy).
Its melody is somewhat challenging, with parts that move back and forth between high and low notes.
Overall, it sits in the mid-to-high range, making it easier to sing for women and for men who are comfortable with higher vocals.
Listen closely to the melody and try to capture the pitch changes as you sing.
Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken28rank/position
From the very beginning, Ken Hirai’s beautiful singing voice resonates in this song.
It’s a 2004 track that was used in a TOYOTA Corolla Fielder commercial and also served as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Truth of Tsugumi Kuzushi.” The lyrics make it a ballad that feels both like singing and like speaking to someone, so it’s a song you can really get into and sing calmly.
I often point out Ken Hirai’s singing characteristics to my students, so please use them as a reference! First, while it’s memorable that he sings with his eyes closed, in reality, closing your eyes can cause unnecessary tension and make it harder to stay on pitch.
However, Hirai raises his eyebrows and uses his hand to track the pitch while he sings.
He compensates in other ways so that singing becomes more natural and easier.
This gesture also makes it much easier to produce falsetto, so definitely give it a try!
