Godiego ♪Galaxy Express 999♪

This is a single released by Godiego in 1979, used as the theme song for the film version of Galaxy Express 999 (The Galaxy Express 999).

The lyrics were written with the meaning of “Let’s live not only for Japan, but toward the world.” To this day, it remains one of Godiego’s signature songs and has been covered by many artists, including the EXILE group.

ff (fortissimo)

“ff (Fortissimo)” is a high-energy rock song that’s very popular.

At live shows, it’s so loved that fans often sing an entire chorus together.

In karaoke scoring, imitating Otomo’s shouts will actually cost you points, so just follow the pitch bar honestly.

The melody is quite simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing! If you listen closely to the band’s snare drum and match your rhythm with its timing, it’ll be easier to sing.

Be careful not to cut the sustained notes in the chorus too short.

Basically, sing confidently and make sure your voice goes solidly into the mic—that should help you get a high score!

Endless Journey / Mr.Children (Cover)

This is one of Mr.

Children’s signature works, featuring impressive lyrics that depict the journey of life and a grand, sweeping sound.

Its universal messages—about the importance of moving forward, the courage to face hardship, and the quest to find your ideal self—resonate deeply.

Released in October 1998 and used as the theme song for the TV drama “Naguru Onna,” it became one of their defining tracks.

It’s a song that will surely support those who keep striving toward their dreams and goals, as well as those standing at a crossroads or searching for themselves.

THE BOOM “Shima Uta (Original Version)” Official Music Video

When it comes to karaoke repertoire, “Shima Uta” is a must, don’t you think? It incorporates elements of Okinawan music and has a poignant tone with themes of nature, prayer, and parting.

The overall range spans A#2 to A4, leaning wide on the low end, but if you manage your breath well, you can stay on pitch.

The melody is very simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

When aiming for a high score, be careful not to slip during the section where the tempo speeds up at the end, and nail the finish.

For the low notes, focus on sending your breath forward slowly.

Let your body resonate and go for a top score!

X Japan “Kurenai” from The Last Live (HD)

Opening with a melancholic guitar arpeggio, this song blends X JAPAN’s signature high-speed metal sound with a dramatic interplay of stillness and intensity that stirs the heart.

Released in September 1989 as their major-label debut single and included on the album BLUE BLOOD, it reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

The song was performed at the 1992 NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen and was also used in an NTT Docomo commercial.

It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to feel the strength to keep moving forward while carrying sorrow and despair.

Sharam Q “Single Bed” (Music Video)

A work renowned as one of the great ballads of the Heisei era, “Single Bed.” Considered a signature song of Sharan Q, it’s still frequently sung at karaoke and is popular in vocal training as well.

Its range is mid1 C# to mid2 G#, so it’s not extremely low, but because the more energetic phrases can be sung with a rich mid-to-low tone, it’s a piece that really brings out the appeal of men with lower voices.

By using a technique called the hiccup (hi-cup) singing method, you can further emphasize masculinity; try incorporating it to the extent that it doesn’t affect your scoring.
