ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Soranin'

A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, a band whose evolution is seriously cool.

It’s a 2010 single used as the main theme for a film of the same name.

If you’re in your late twenties, some of you probably heard it in real time as part of your generation.

It’s an emotional masterpiece no matter where you slice it: the film’s scenes vividly come to mind, yet it also overlaps with everyday life in a universal way.

Among Ajikan’s songs, “Soranin” is relatively easy to keep rhythm with, so it’s a great pick even for people who feel a bit uneasy about karaoke or who have a lower voice.

I recommend it! Start by singing steadily and simply along with the melody, then go all out and belt it in the final section!

GO!!!FLOW86rank/position

FLOW “GO!!!” Music Video (TV Anime “NARUTO” Opening Theme)

FLOW is a five-member rock band that gained popularity in the 2000s.

Their bright and exhilarating musical style is striking, and GO!!! showcases the appeal of FLOW particularly well.

The song was used as the fourth opening theme for the popular anime NARUTO and became a hit.

Although it’s uptempo, the vocal range is relatively narrow—mid1 G# to mid2 G#—so it’s easy to sing.

It’s a big crowd-pleaser among Naruto fans, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Boyhood / Yosui Inoue

“Shonen Jidai” is even featured in music textbooks.

I used to sing it in music class back in my school days.

The overall vocal range is C#3 to F4, and since it’s in textbooks, I feel like it’s a key that’s easy for anyone to sing.

When you sing it at karaoke, using a soft, airy tone like Yosui Inoue conveys a gentle atmosphere.

If you don’t land firmly on the ends of phrases and instead let them trail off, you can also express a sense of fragility.

For the opening, rather than imitating too much, it’s better to come in clearly—this adds contrast and makes it easier to listen to.

Try to sing with care for the words.

OverMr.Children88rank/position

Mr.Children “Over” from 30th Anniversary Tour Entrance to the Half Century – 2022.5.10 TOKYO DOME –

It captures the early-1990s Mr.Children vibe: guitar-driven rock that keeps a pop sensibility, with introspective lyrics matching the poignant melody.

The overall range is D3 to A#4, which might be a bit higher than the average male range.

Especially that chest-voice G#4 after a run of F4s in the chorus—that’s the spot you want to hit smoothly! The key to high notes is explosiveness.

If you deliver every phrase with a slight accent, you gain momentum and the voice comes out more easily.

After that, switch to head voice.

Exhale straight upward to build that momentum.

Lifting your facial muscles makes the transition smoother, so keep those facial muscles lifted throughout.

I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka89rank/position

Yutaka Ozaki – I LOVE YOU (Official Music Video)

Released in 1983, this is Yutaka Ozaki’s signature love ballad—so famous that almost everyone knows it.

I’ve taught “I LOVE YOU” in lessons several times, and I feel it’s a tough song for people who struggle with falsetto; many students actually used this song to practice it.

You shouldn’t need to change the key—the original should be comfortable to sing.

Since some people aren’t confident with falsetto, let’s review the key points.

If you’ve mostly been singing in chest voice, you’re probably used to pushing with just your voice without using much breath.

To use your breath properly, humming is important.

Do a nasal hum to create nasal resonance so the sound vibrates in your nose.

Be careful not to force it with your throat.

After a light hum, keep the resonance in the same place and let your singing voice become thinner and lighter.

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.

Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE91rank/position

Distance of the Starry Sky

“Hoshizora no Distance” is a signature song that epitomizes THE ALFEE’s driving rock sound.

The lead vocal is by bassist Masaru Sakurai.

The energy is high right from the intro, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live, but be careful not to rush the tempo as the excitement builds.

The original tempo isn’t actually that fast—more of a steady feel.

The vocal range climbs after a key change in the middle, so you’ll want to lock in those pitches without hesitation.

Visualize clearly and sing with intention.

The overall range of the song is F#3 to A#4, and since the final melody goes higher, keep the notes in mind and add a light accent there.
