Official HIGE DANDism – I LOVE… [Official Video]

Starting with a piercing brass timbre, this is “I LOVE…” released as Official HIGE DANDism’s first single of 2020, the band best known for “Pretender.” It was written as the theme song for the hit TV drama “An Incurable Case of Love.” The track is a very stylish piece that blends both retro and modern flair, singing about the complex emotions surrounding love.

While their songs can be a bit challenging for male singers, teenage girls should find the key neither too low nor too high, making it easier to sing.

Feel the groove and sing along with plenty of energy!

SPYAIR “Orange” Music Video (Theme Song for Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle: The Movie)

It was created as the theme song for “HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle,” and it’s become a hot topic as a track packed with self-homages to past Haikyu songs! The overall vocal range of the song is C#3 to A4, and it uses some falsetto as well.

The melody line is simple, so even first-time listeners can pick it up easily—many men will probably think, “I want to sing this song.” For the high notes in the chorus, avoid forcing your chest voice; let the breath flow and sing comfortably.

Keep your gaze as far as possible, and if you sing with a slight forward lean, you’ll engage your lower abdomen, helping your voice stay steady and project well!

Created to coincide with a major sporting festival, this song vividly captures physical sensations like sweat and tears.

Released in June 2018 as the band’s 22nd single, it became widely known as the theme for Fuji TV’s soccer broadcasts.

The exhilarating, fast-paced beat and Yojiro Noda’s signature wordplay in the rap section build into a chorus that feels like the world suddenly opens up—truly breathtaking.

The lyrics convey a sense of emotional catharsis that goes beyond simple wins and losses, encouraging anyone who takes on a challenge, not just athletes.

Later included on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, the track is also highly regarded as a visual work, with its music video winning at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC AWARDS 2019.

Listen to it before a make-or-break moment, and it’s sure to ignite your fighting spirit.

This is a poignant song that portrays the pain and inner conflict of love.

Released by Saucy Dog in August 2021, it sharply expresses actions that go against one’s true feelings and the sense of betrayal within a romantic relationship.

Written from a female perspective, the lyrics skillfully depict the protagonist’s complex emotions as she struggles with the gap between ideals and reality.

While pop and melodious, the track carries a bittersweet atmosphere and unfolds with the band’s signature rock sound.

It gained major popularity especially among young people, ranking second in the 2022 annual karaoke charts.

It’s a perfect song for those who want to share the anguish of love, as well as for high school students looking to have fun with friends.

KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

It’s the opening theme from the anime “Naruto Shippuden,” hugely popular among teenage boys! It’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! When you sing it, focus on the key points: keep a solid sense of tempo, feel the occasional bouncy rhythms, and pay attention to the falsetto in the chorus.

With fast-tempo band songs, it’s easy to get excited and speed up as you sing.

Try not to sway your body too much—stay centered so you can maintain a steady rhythm.

For the bouncy rhythm, lightly use your knees to move up and down and you’ll nail the timing.

Make sure your falsetto resonates in your head voice! Overall, I recommend singing lightly with a bright, heady resonance.
