Kobukuro “Star Song”

A track by Kobukuro included on their album “Star Made,” released on August 4, 2021.

As the title suggests, it’s a gentle song that evokes a quiet summer night sky, and musically it’s very much in their style—easy to hum and approachable.

If you focus on singing carefully throughout, it shouldn’t be too hard to score high at karaoke.

That said, the high notes in the chorus might be a bit tough for the average male singer, so it might be a good idea to check the key settings in advance.

Released ahead of the title track as the B-side to Kobukuro’s 29th single, “ONE TIMES ONE,” this song was made available for streaming in March 2018.

It was also featured in a commercial for Ono Pharmaceutical.

As a Kobukuro ballad known for its simple, sincere vocal style, it’s very easy to learn and sing, making it a great choice for those aiming for high karaoke scores.

One common issue when trying to score high is that adding too many personal flourishes can lead to point deductions.

You might wonder how much expression to put into the performance; in this song’s case, if you sing too strictly “by the sheet music,” it risks becoming flat and boring.

If possible, don’t focus too much on the score—take in the meaning of the lyrics and put your effort into expressive singing.

Taiyou

The upbeat, refreshing summer song “Taiyo” (The Sun) was released in 2002 as a double A-side single together with “Negai no Uta” (Song of Wishes).

While the overall tempo is on the faster side, the spacing between words—except in the A verse—is relaxed enough that you won’t feel rushed singing it.

The rhythmic section in the A verse is built on similar melodic patterns, so once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy to sing.

Riding the groove and having fun is the key to performing this song well.

Give it a try not only at karaoke but also in the car or during leisure activities—it’s great for all kinds of situations.
