Spitz / Cherry

Spitz have been at the forefront from the 1990s to today with their one-of-a-kind vocals.

Among their songs, Cherry is one of the most well-known.

Its biggest charm is the simple, beautiful melody—so catchy that you can kind of remember it after just one listen! For people who aren’t confident singers, simply memorizing a song can be a hurdle.

With Cherry, it’s relatively easy to learn, and since everyone knows it, you can even ask someone else to sing it for you if you’re in a bind.

It’s definitely a song worth practicing!

Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN2rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Friend’s Song”

“Tomodachi no Uta” is a moving ballad with a pleasant melody and touching lyrics.

The words, which express feelings for a friend living far away, are quite moving and likely resonate with many listeners.

The song’s vocal range is just over one octave—fairly narrow—and the pitches sit comfortably within a range that most men can sing.

Combined with its relaxed tempo and simple melody, it should be easy to sing.

Because the range is narrow, if high notes are difficult, you can lower the key.

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.

You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).

The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.

It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.

Creepy Nuts – Otonoke [Official MV] [Dandadan Opening]

Creepy Nuts’ new song “Otonoke.” Released as the theme song for the popular anime “Dandadan,” it became a nationwide hit.

The biggest draw of the track is its undeniably catchy hook.

The rap part appears twice, and compared to other Creepy Nuts songs, the flow is somewhat simpler; the hook features an easy vocal line that anyone can sing.

Unless you’re particularly uncomfortable with rapping, it’s a song you should be able to perform with relative ease.

Garden of Light and Dream of FishHomecomings5rank/position

Homecomings – Garden of Light and Fish Dreams (Official Music Video)

Homecomings is a four-piece band that has gained popularity for lyrics that capture the real emotions of young people and a catchy musical style.

Formed by four members who belonged to a university folk song club, the band features many memorable, folk-influenced lyrics.

Among Homecomings’ works, the one I especially recommend is “Hikari no Niwa to Sakana no Yume” (“Garden of Light and Fish’s Dream”).

It’s crafted in a classic J-pop style, and since there are no particularly high vocal parts, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
