SPYAIR “Orange” Music Video (Theme Song for Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle: The Movie)

It became a massive hit as the theme song for the 2024 film Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle.

The same track was also chosen as the theme song for TBS Television and BS-TBS’s Volleyball Nations League 2024, powerfully expressing the passion of young people who devote their youth to volleyball, and marking a revival of the long-standing collaboration between SPYAIR and Haikyu!!.

It’s a rock ballad characteristic of SPYAIR, with easy-to-catch pitches that help you score steadily in karaoke.

The melody is basically structured so you can sing each phrase carefully.

It builds toward the latter half, and the vocal melody changes slightly in the final chorus, so it’s a good idea to review that part thoroughly.

SUPER BEAVER “Gradation” MV (Theme song for the film ‘Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween Arc -Fate-’)

This is SUPER BEAVER’s 17th single, released in April 2023.

It was selected as the theme song for the film “Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween -Fate-.” It’s a very straightforward, up-tempo rock song with a relatively simple vocal melody, making it an ideal choice when you want to score high—aiming for a perfect 100—at karaoke.

There’s just one point to note: the key changes in the chorus, so be careful about that when you sing.

Also, if you can keep your voice from thinning out in the high notes of the chorus and deliver strong, powerful high tones, your performance will sound even better.

Try engaging your core around the solar plexus and avoid constricting your throat as much as possible; that’s the key to producing strong high notes.

Give it a try and see how it feels.

Fujifabric – Youth of Everything

It’s a hidden gem by Fujifabric that captures the melancholy of summer’s end and the sparkle of youth slipping away.

Lines like “When the last fireworks are over, will we change?” convey that inexpressible mix of anxiety and hope for the future, tightening the listener’s chest.

Released in November 2007 as an advance single from the album TEENAGER, the song was also featured as insert music in the drama SUMMER NUDE.

Its somewhat nostalgic melody will create a tender, emotional unity when sung at karaoke with peers.

Why not try it when you want to gently mellow the mood?

Ulfuls – Banzai ~I'm Glad I Fell in Love~

This rock tune celebrating the joy of pure love is a fan favorite that showcases Ulfuls’ musicality to the fullest.

Its lyrics, which candidly express gratitude to a loved one, resonate deeply, and together with its bright, catchy melody, the song lifts listeners’ spirits.

Released in February 1996, it was included on the album “Banzai” and also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Goddess of Victory.” Moreover, it won the Excellence Award at the 38th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect track for getting pumped up at karaoke with friends or for reminiscing about special memories with someone important.

rendezvous

Released by Shitope in April 2023, this work is a song that vividly captures the emotions of a man right after a breakup.

With relatable yet distinctive metaphors—like losing his appetite and finding that even cream-filled bread has no taste—it sharply highlights the pain of separation.

The languid, sweet vocals and expansive choral work resonate as if enveloping the bittersweet ache of heartbreak.

It topped Spotify’s Viral Chart and has surpassed 300 million total streams.

It’s a track that deeply comforts those who have just lost someone precious and are not yet ready to accept reality.

Sora Tomonari – “ACTOR” [Music Video]

Speaking of low-voice artists, many people nowadays might think of Sora Tomonari.

With that in mind, I recommend this track, “ACTOR.” It features a musical-like style and is sung primarily in the low to low-mid range throughout.

In the final section, vocals jump up by an octave, which might make it seem high, but if that’s difficult you can simply stick to the original line.

As such, it’s a very singable song for men with lower voices.
