GReeeeN – Kiseki

GReeeeN, who recently changed their name to “GRe4N BOYZ” from 2024 onward, are well known as a group whose members all have careers as dentists and continue their musical activities alongside their medical work.

Since the late 2000s, they have released one hit after another on the J-pop scene, and their songs are hugely popular at karaoke.

Among them, “Kiseki,” released in 2008, is one of their signature tracks and a Heisei-era classic covered by many artists.

Its melody line is simple and easy to sing, and the vocal range is narrow, so if you’re aiming for a high score, definitely give this song a try.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE「familie」Official Music Video

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s new song “familie.” Released after their Paris Olympics theme song, it became a major hit right from the start thanks to their signature catchiness and boundary-pushing musicality.

While wrapped in a warm, cozy melody, the vocal line is quite challenging, featuring multiple sections where chest voice and falsetto switch back and forth.

If you’re a male singer confident in your falsetto, definitely give this track a try.

Kenshi Yonezu – Azalea

Kenshi Yonezu’s drama theme song begins with a gentle, moist piano melody and expands into an electronic soundscape.

Written specifically for the Netflix original drama “Sayonara no Tsuzuki” and released digitally in November 2024, the track beautifully captures the poignant love story starring Kasumi Arimura and Kentaro Sakaguchi.

It delicately portrays the sorrow of losing one’s dearest person in an accident and the complex emotions toward the stranger who inherits that person’s heart.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has experienced the loss of a lover or finds their feelings deepening for someone precious.

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.

I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi96rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito – I’ve Always Loved You [Music Video]

A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.

The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and a voice that resonates in the heart quietly convey unfulfilled feelings and a love that passed by.

Kazuyoshi Saito’s tender vocals and guitar beautifully express nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.

Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme song for Shiseido’s IN&ON series commercials.

Since February 2017, it has also been used in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to comfort many listeners.

It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or during long-awaited get-togethers, wrapped in fond memories.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and its universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.

Tomorrow Never knowsMr.Children97rank/position

Mr.Children "Tomorrow never knows" Tour 2015 Incomplete Live

A song by Mr.Children, released in 1994, that changed the band’s destiny.

It portrays inner conflict and hope for the future, giving courage to everyone who listens.

It’s striking in the way it conveys the importance of finding your own path and moving forward with hope.

Its appeal lies in the powerful message of pressing on toward the future without yielding to any hardship.

Chosen as the theme song for “Wakamono no Subete,” it became their biggest hit single and had a major impact on the music scene of the time.

A masterpiece recommended for those struggling with worries or in need of courage.

CITRUSDa-iCE98rank/position

Da-iCE / “CITRUS” (Theme song for the Nippon TV Sunday drama “The Way of the Househusband”) Music Video

Da-iCE’s “CITRUS” shot to fame as a high-tone song! I bet many of you, regardless of gender, have tried singing it.

The overall vocal range is F3–D5, which is generally easier for women than men, so Da-iCE hitting those high notes makes them a group many men admire.

The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the tricky part is how the chorus suddenly jumps up into the high register.

When you’re firing off high notes, if your falsetto isn’t stable, you can strain your throat.

Keep the sensation of “resonating in your head” at all times—your facial muscles will naturally lift, so don’t forget to stay mindful of that.

Also, you’ll need good explosiveness, so project your voice as if you’re aiming far away.

In the last chorus, the key modulates and the pitch goes even higher, so it’s okay to sing out more than you think!
