Remioromen – March 9

A classic that continues to be widely sung as a graduation and wedding song.

The overall vocal range is C3–G4, making it popular as an “easy-to-sing for men” track.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can take solid breaths and prepare while producing your voice comfortably.

Up to the chorus, the melody stays in the lower range, so trace the pitches carefully.

In the chorus the range rises, and if you’re not used to it, you might tense up.

Take a good breath on the beat before the chorus, then release it all at once!

Ayaka / Nijiiro Music Video

“Nijiiro” was sung by many people in vocal training as well.

Of course, many also chose “Mikazuki,” but “Nijiiro” was especially popular because people said, “I can sing it without straining!” Indeed, during lessons, everyone seemed to relax well and found it easy to sing.

The overall range is F#3 to D5, which looks wide if you only consider the range, but since F#4 is used the most, there’s no need to be overly tense.

Also, for the flowing melody in the pre-chorus, if you don’t articulate every word too clearly and just go with the flow, you can avoid getting stuck.

For the last part of the chorus, if you sing each note carefully, it feels good and helps you stay on pitch.

There are points to focus on for each section of the melody, but you’ll likely find it easy to sing—so definitely try learning it.

When you dwell on its world, it really tightens your chest.

Romeo and Cinderella – doriko feat. Hatsune Miku [official MV]

A song that has many parody versions uploaded on video sites.

The original track exudes a moody, mature atmosphere.

It’s a classic Vocaloid song, so if you’ve sung Vocaloid before, it won’t take long to learn.

When sung by a woman, it might just capture the heart of the man she’s interested in.

There are probably many men who like women who can casually sing songs like this.
