Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO30rank/position

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

SHISHAMO’s hit song “Ashita mo.” The key change in the chorus feels incredibly satisfying, and thanks to its exhilarating vibe, this J-rock number gained popularity nationwide.

The vocal range is standard, spanning mid1F# to hiC.

The highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, so it’s a song that requires a bit of stamina.

If it feels tough, try lowering the key.

If the lowest notes are hard to hit, you can alternatively shift them up to around mid1G#.

It’s a track that’s sure to hype up any J-rock fan, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

Among RADWIMPS’s songs, “Zenzenzense” is one of their biggest hits.

If you were born in the Heisei era, you’ve almost certainly heard it at least once.

The song spans from a lowest note of mid2 F# to a highest note of mid2 F#, making it a very comfortable range for male singers.

Although there’s a somewhat rapid rise and fall in pitch at the beginning, there are no other particularly tricky parts, and the vocal line is easy to sing throughout.

Since there are relatively few rests, it’s recommended to identify your own breathing breakpoints to make it easier to sing.

RADWIMPS – Aloof [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS wrote “Sokkenai” as the theme song for the dating reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf-kun.” The song depicts the push and pull of romance and the emotional turbulence that unfolds on the show.

Its melody is simple, centered on piano.

This not only expresses emotional delicacy but also serves to highlight Yojiro Noda’s vocals.

As a result, singing it at karaoke should allow your voice to come through more clearly.

However, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so the overall difficulty shouldn’t be high.

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.

Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.

Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.

If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.
