KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

The anime NARUTO, which became a worldwide hit, is widely known for its opening theme used in the Shippuden arc focusing on the characters’ youth, and it attracts many overseas comments on platforms like YouTube.

Popular among Naruto fans, this song is characterized by its bright and uplifting melody.

In the A section, there’s a phrase that repeatedly switches between falsetto and chest voice; while this is largely due to Maguro Taniguchi’s vocal style, it’s perfectly fine to carry it through in chest voice.

Although the overall pitch is on the higher side, the range itself is narrow, making it a relatively easy song to sing.

Touch

Among Showa-era anime songs, Touch is by far the easiest to score high on.

The tempo is a bit fast, but if you stay calm while singing, you shouldn’t fall behind.

The song’s overall range is A3 to B5; the highest note appears fairly often, but if you keep your energy up and sing with a consistently elevated vibe, your pitch won’t drop and you can maintain a good tone.

To sum up the key points: keep your energy high, use a polished “going-out” voice, and project firmly.

Also, the section right before the title lyric comes in on the off-beat.

Be careful not to let your rhythm slip!

Give me an unbalanced kiss

This masterpiece expresses a bittersweet yearning for love through delicate imagery—like a crying figure reflected in a cracked mirror and fingers tracing the moon.

Chosen as the ending theme for the beloved classic anime Yu Yu Hakusho, it became a cross-generational favorite, thanks in part to Hiro Takahashi’s clear, translucent vocals.

Since its release in December 1993, it has been included on the albums WELCOME TO POPSICLE CHANNEL and Hiro Takahashi Best Collection, selling around 300,000 copies.

Its sweetly aching, love-like melody and arrangements that evoke the spirit of 1970s kayōkyoku create a gentle mood reminiscent of a romantic film soundtrack.

Savor this heartwarming song—one to treasure as a cherished memory.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

Just hearing the intro guitar riff is enough to get many people’s blood pumping, isn’t it? Released in August 2004, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “Rewrite” is a rock tune that’s remained a karaoke staple for years.

Chosen as an opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, the song is also included on the classic album Sol-fa and is widely known as one of the band’s signature tracks.

Its emotional lyrics, which feel like an eruption of pent-up feelings, are sure to resonate deeply with those overwhelmed by daily work.

When the chorus—the biggest climax—hits, the best way to sing it is to forget about pitch and just shout at the top of your lungs! Next time you’re with coworkers or old school friends, why not grab the mic and scream your heart out?

My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS34rank/position

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS’s hit song “Zenzenzense.” It was released as the theme song for the hugely popular anime film Your Name, which gained nationwide acclaim.

Among RADWIMPS’s tracks, this one has a fairly orthodox rock feel, and features an easy-to-sing vocal line that appears repeatedly throughout.

The vocal range is mid1 F# to mid2 F#, which is somewhat narrow for a male vocal song.

While the chorus has the drawback of having few break points, it doesn’t frequently require long sustained notes, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

It’s a popular song embraced by a wide range of generations, so you can expect it to really get the crowd going.

Hello,World!BUMP OF CHICKEN35rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN「Hello,world!」

This is the opening theme of Blood Blockade Battlefront Season 1.

BUMP’s light, fast-paced song and its lyrics perfectly match the image of Blood Blockade Battlefront.

If the karaoke shows footage from the series, it really gets me hyped, and if you can sing it well with BUMP’s music video playing, it becomes a pretty cool song to nail.
