WANDS – Until the World Ends

This masterpiece fuses Sho Uesugi’s lyrics, which depict urban loneliness and despair, with Tetsuro Oda’s wistful melody, powerfully stirring listeners’ hearts.

Released in June 1994, it was used as the second ending theme for the TV Asahi anime SLAM DUNK and became a million seller, surpassing 1.2 million copies.

It’s also included on the acclaimed album PIECE OF MY SOUL, and many people were undoubtedly hooked on it at the time.

The progression from a quiet opening to an explosive chorus makes it perfect for belting out at karaoke.

Sing it with friends from the same generation, and those fiery feelings from back then are sure to come rushing back.

Mr.Children 365 Days

A masterpiece ballad that demands delicate emotional expression and advanced vocal technique, “365 Nichi.” It’s a song where expressiveness, pitch, and falsetto control are crucial.

Many Mr.Children songs have intricately moving melodic lines, and “365 Nichi” is a prime example.

Although it was released in 2010, it was used in the NTT East/West commercials, so many people will find it familiar.

From the A verse to the B verse, the melody is gentle, making it possible to sing each phrase carefully.

From the chorus onward, the melody moves in finer steps, so you need to be very mindful of pitch.

Maintain your breath with diaphragmatic breathing and sing with a clear tone, imagining you’re using your breath efficiently without waste.

Official HIGE DANDism – Subtitle [Official Video]

This song gives me the impression of a ballad that really lets the listener sink into it.

To sing it with a beautiful, breathy tone like vocalist Fujiwara’s, lung capacity, diaphragmatic breathing, and bodily awareness are all important.

You might think, “There’s so much to keep in mind…,” but don’t worry! First, make sure to really listen to the backing drums when you sing.

If you match your phrasing to the drum accents, it becomes easier to keep the rhythm and to hit the high notes.

By the way, even my female students have struggled with this song, saying “It’s so high!”—but I think the key lies in how you produce the sound.

If you sing with the image of resonating in the back of your head, the overall tone becomes softer, bringing you closer to Fujiwara’s gentle voice.

There are also soaring long tones, so try finding the placement that feels comfortable for you and sing from there.

Moechakka Fire / Issei: MUSIC VIDEO

A track by Issei that weaves synth sounds with an addictive melody, themed around a cool, detached maid-outfit character.

Released as a character song for the game Zenless Zone Zero, unveiled in July 2024, the piece channels modern people’s craving for approval and their sense of alienation from society, all over a bold, driving beat.

Its alluring low-register vocals—seemingly detached from the music video’s character—leave a strong impression.

How about belting it out at karaoke to express a different side of yourself?

Fujii Kaze – Garden (Not a MV)

This is a song by Fujii Kaze that portrays the changing of the four seasons and the transience of life.

Featured on the album “LOVE ALL SERVE ALL,” it was also used in a NatureLab LAVONS (Laundrin) TV commercial.

With a chill vibe infused with gospel elements, its beautiful melody and profound lyrics resonate deeply.

The music video, filmed in ACAO FOREST in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, harmonizes with the song’s soothing atmosphere.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when reflecting on the fragility of life and human connections.

The key isn’t too high, making it a great choice for male singers.

If you sing it at karaoke, its deep lyrics are sure to captivate those around you.

GLAY / Temptation

This is a staple song for live shows, and TAKURO has said he wanted it to be a “trigger to fire things up” on stage! Right from the intro drums and guitar riff, your energy shoots up.

The overall vocal range is D#3 to C#5—there are high notes, but it’s a rhythm-friendly rock tune, so if you sing out boldly without hesitation, you’ll likely hit those highs.

The flow goes from a relatively calm delivery in the A and B sections to an explosive chorus, and even a rough, raw singing style will look and sound cool! Just be careful not to overstrain your voice in the chorus.

The key is to resonate through your body—place a hand on your chest and let your chest voice ring out comfortably.

Characterized by its energetic sound and memorable melody, this work centers on themes of pursuing dreams and self-realization.

The lyrics brilliantly capture youthful passion, weaving in basketball terminology and expressing the resolve to break away from the crowd and forge one’s own path.
