KinKi Kids “I Have Wings on My Back” Music Video

The 11th single, “Boku no Senaka ni wa Hane ga Aru,” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Arata Mukai’s Animal Diary: My Dog Rocinante’s Misfortune.” Its sound featuring traditional instruments and its oriental melodic lines are striking, aren’t they? Because the overall key is low, the vocal range is narrow, and there are no large interval jumps, it’s recommended for those who aren’t very confident in singing to give it a try.

The tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing calmly—an emotional number that’s also great for karaoke.

Japanese Subtitles [Life Goes On] BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)

You can’t leave out “Life Goes On,” whose gentle lyrics are so soothing.

Released in 2020 as a single, it carries both the painful experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and an encouraging message to overcome them.

Its positive message makes it perfect for times when you want to lift someone’s spirits or create a relaxed atmosphere.

And from a karaoke standpoint, its narrow vocal range and lack of intense rap parts make it relatively easy to sing.

The Goofy Man’s WayKanjani∞84rank/position

Kanjani Eight - Zukkoke Otoko Michi

Kanjani∞ is a five-member idol group that has overcome repeated member departures and continues to earn solid recognition as a rock band.

Their 6th single, Zukkoke Otoko Michi, which was used as the CM song for MTI’s music.jp, also drew attention for being a song provided by Takeya Uenaka of THE Inazuma Sentai.

With its comical lyrics and hooky ensemble, it’s catchy, and since the overall vocal range isn’t that wide, even those who aren’t confident singers can power through it.

It’s a recommended pop tune that’s guaranteed to liven up any karaoke session, no matter who you go with.
