Ranking of Popular Children's Songs [2026]

Hated by Life

Known as a “dark” song, ‘Inochi ni Kirawarete Iru’ is famous.

Mafumafu has a well-known cover, and Kanzaki Iori also sings it himself.

The pitch gap between the A and B verses and the chorus is extreme, so be careful not to strain.

If chest voice is difficult when singing, don’t push it—use falsetto skillfully.

The overall vocal range is C3–A4, and because each melodic section occupies a clearly defined range, it’s easier to anticipate pitches and lock in.

Keep your eyebrows raised, stay primed to project, and before singing, visualize the notes—raise your hand to help you find the pitch, then sing!
