Grandfather’s ClockHirai Ken96rank/position

Ken Hirai / Grandfather's Clock

This is a cover by Ken Hirai of a song that sold over a million copies in the United States in the 1800s.

It was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and used as the entrance march for the National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

Since it was featured on Minna no Uta, it’s a song that even children can sing easily.

Garden of Light and Dream of FishHomecomings97rank/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.

Masqueradeharha98rank/position

harha – Masquerade (Fuji TV Tuesday 9 p.m. drama “STINGERS: Metropolitan Police Undercover Investigation Verification Office” opening theme) - Music Video

harha is a music duo consisting of track maker Haruha and vocalist Yonabe.

Their hallmark is a genre-free musicality, and lately their momentum has been building rapidly.

Among harha’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Masquerade.” If I had to sum it up, it’s quintessentially orthodox.

The range, the pitch movement, and the tempo are all perfectly balanced, so the vocal line has no quirks whatsoever.

A junior high school girl with a steady vocal register should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Blooming the Tank-topYabai T-shatsu Yasan99rank/position

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan – “Blooming the Tank-top” Music Video

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan is a band with striking contrasts: sharp rock sound, comedic lyrics, and an adorably cute vocal.

Their style, which feels like a mix of J-pop and heavy metal, really sticks in your head.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Blooming the Tank-top.

Despite its strong impact, the vocal range itself isn’t particularly wide, so it’s pretty easy to sing.

For the death-voice parts, rather than trying to sing them well, if you lean into a playful vibe with the people around you, you can both cover up any rough edges and get the crowd going.

Reunionshaitoopu100rank/position

Shytoop – Reunion (Official Music Video)

Shytopes are a three-piece rock band based in the Kansai region.

While many recent Japanese rock songs lean toward higher complexity, they embody the classic J-rock sound, and their catchy style has been drawing more attention year by year.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Saikai (Reunion).

The chorus features falsetto, but it’s very low, so some people may be able to sing it in chest voice without any trouble.

If you can’t hit it in chest voice, try lowering the key by one or two semitones.
