SEKAI NO OWARI「Habit」

A song with a mysterious vibe and a catchy melody delivers a message that confronts people’s preconceived notions and habits.

With simple, memorable phrases and an addictive sound, it’s sure to get everyone excited at school events or karaoke.

Released by SEKAI NO OWARI in June 2022, this track is the theme song for the film “HOLiC xxxHOLiC.” The work won the 64th Japan Record Award in the same year and was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

A highlight is the unique dance performance by the members dressed as a teacher and a janitor.

Even those who tend to get nervous at karaoke can sing this one with confidence thanks to its relaxed tempo and a melody line that doesn’t require too wide a vocal range.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Saraba”

SEKAI NO OWARI is a band known for its soft, childlike dreamworld aesthetic that leaves a lasting impression.

Debuting in 2007, they’ve remained at the forefront ever since.

Their new song, Saraba, continues their signature style: a pop piece featuring a gentle, pastel-like atmosphere.

The vocal line is simple enough that even children could sing it.

Some listeners might worry if they can’t produce a light, high tone like Fukase’s, but the song doesn’t require a wide vocal range, so there’s no need to be overly concerned.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Encyclopedia”

SEKAI NO OWARI is a rock band that has been active for many years.

While they are categorized as a rock band, almost all of their songs fall under J-pop, and they consistently release works infused with unique concepts.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Zukan.” The vocal range spans roughly from mid1 B to high B, which is somewhat wide, but the pitch transitions are gentle, making it overall an easy song to sing.

It’s also one of their latest tracks, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO14rank/position

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

SHISHAMO is a three-woman girls’ rock band, and the song I’m introducing, “Ashita mo,” is one of their signature tracks, released as a single from their 2017 album SHISHAMO 4.

It’s a song I especially recommend for women who aren’t confident in their singing.

The overall vocal tone is steady with few high notes, so there’s less chance of mistakes and it’s easier to deliver a stable performance.

Also, the lyrics resonate with young people who are always doing their best, which is another big plus.

Saucy Dog “Kusege” Music Video (Theme song for the ABC TV/TV Asahi drama “My Diary”)

Saucy Dog is a band that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.

When you think of Saucy Dog, their high-pitched vocals are striking, right? Because of that, many people feel their songs are difficult.

That’s why I recommend their new track, “Kusege.” For a Saucy Dog song, this one falls into the category of having a fairly narrow vocal range.

Of course, since the vocalist’s voice is high, it might not sound that way, but if you adjust the key to suit yourself, anyone should be able to sing it smoothly.
