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.

TSUNAMI

An emotionally moving love ballad that likens the pain of heartbreak to a tsunami, this song captivates with Keisuke Kuwata’s deep vocals and a warmly poetic world.

It begins quietly, then swells like waves of emotion with a beautiful, memorable melody that conveys both the strength and the fragility of love.

Released in January 2000, it was also used as the theme song for the ‘Future Diary III’ segment of the TV show ‘Uunnan no Hontoko!’ and reached No.

1 on the Oricon weekly chart.

It won the Grand Prize at the 42nd Japan Record Awards, becoming a definitive song of the year 2000 in both name and substance.

It is a gem that resonates deep in the heart when you want to immerse yourself in memories of a loved one or reflect on life.

flumpool “Kimi ni Todoke” Music Video

flumpool’s “Kimi ni Todoke” is the perfect song when you want to light up the karaoke room—especially if you want to win over women’s hearts.

It’s a classic that dominated the charts for 11 weeks in 2010 and also drew attention as a movie theme song.

The lyrics overflow with honest feelings for a loved one, leaving an impression of the singer’s gentleness.

But be careful! Their songs demand emotionally rich vocals in a high key.

With proper practice to strengthen your upper range beforehand, you should be able to deliver a performance that elevates the mood on the spot.

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?

Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu40rank/position

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.

HONEY [15th L’Anniversary Live]

When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.

I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.

The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.

If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.

When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.

And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!

10-FEET – The Zero Sense (Ending Theme Song of the Film 'THE FIRST SLAM DUNK')

This is a digital single released in November 2022, written as the ending theme song for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.

It’s a rock number that embodies the film’s sense of speed and emotion, expressing the feelings of SLAM DUNK character Ryota Miyagi and the intensity of the game.

For its length, it features surprisingly little sung content and a lot of melodic repetition.

There are also quite a few chorus parts, so be careful not to get pulled off by them.

I think if you sing the chorus boldly, your voice will project better and it will be easier to stay on pitch.
