SUPER BEAVER “Aoi Haru” Music Video (Full)

It is a heartwarming song that celebrates the radiance of youth and the bonds between people.

Released as a single in March 2016, it became well-loved as the web commercial song for Taisho Pharmaceutical’s Lipovitan D.

It powerfully expresses the resolve to live with faith in the future and how memories with loved ones give life its meaning.

The track is included on the album “27,” created when the members were 27 years old, and proudly reached No.

16 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.

SUPER BEAVER’s earnest vocals and band sound deliver moving emotions that resonate in the heart.

It’s recommended for times when you want to sing together and get energized with friends, such as for class performances or school festivals.

This is a song that accompanies those who wish to share their feelings with someone special, as well as those who feel nostalgic for their youth.

Omoinotake | Hundreds of Millions of Light-Years [Official Music Video]

Released on February 28, 2024, this song became an explosive hit, and many vocal students practiced it in lessons! The overall range is A#3 to F#5, which is typical for a female artist, but I think it’s singable for pre-voice-change males as well.

Of course, those who are good with high notes will also find it approachable, but since it stays high right from the start, sustaining that level is crucial.

In any case, focus on deep diaphragmatic breathing, resonating in the same placement, and maintaining strong core awareness—you should be able to make it through at least the first verse.

I also recommend starting softly in falsetto at first.

Noa (Noshii) – Omnidirectional Beautiful Girl [Official Music Video]

Noshi is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her music brimming with originality.

She has many comical songs, and their impact draws attention every time.

You could say her work is especially popular among subculture-inclined girls.

Among Noshi’s tracks, the one I particularly recommend is “Zen Hoko Bishoujo” (“All-Direction Beautiful Girl”).

Though it leaves a strong impression, its vocal range is not especially wide, spanning mid2A to hi C#.

If the falsetto parts are tough, it’s a good idea to lower the key with a focus on those sections.

Moody yet highly addictive, this song is sure to hype up any karaoke session.

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

As a youth anthem perfect for summer, this song continues to be loved by many.

Created by RADWIMPS, it’s also well known as the theme song for the blockbuster 2016 animated film “Your Name.” The lyrics, carried by a driving, exhilarating melody, convey the powerful feelings of two people drawn together by fate since long ago and the earnest determination to overcome any obstacle to find each other.

Just listening to it brings the film’s story back to life and is sure to stir your heart.

It will give you courage when you’re thinking of someone special or striving toward your dreams.

[MV] CUTIE STREET “Single-minded Cinderella!”

In recent years, idol groups that push an intense sense of “KAWAII” to the forefront and rack up major viral hits on social media have been on the rise, and one of the most representative is surely CUTIE STREET.

The ripple effects of their debut single, “Isn’t Being Cute Enough?”, are still being felt in 2025, but today we’re focusing on “Single‑minded Cinderella!”, which released its audio in 2024 and had its music video unveiled on YouTube the following January.

As of May 2025, it has surpassed 14 million views, a testament to the overwhelming attention they’re receiving.

Of course, “Single‑minded Cinderella!” is also an idol song brimming with their signature, overwhelming cuteness, positive lyrics that boost self‑esteem, and a dazzling ensemble.

It’s less about vocal difficulty and more about how deeply you can immerse yourself in its world, so sing it while channeling your very best, most adorable self!

tuki. “Ingot of Pure Love” Official Music Video

Due to the face-reveal issue, the recently buzzworthy female singer-songwriter tuki.

has been in the spotlight.

If you’re a teenage girl, chances are you’ve heard her songs at least once.

Among tuki.’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Ingots of Pure Love.” Although it features some falsetto in parts, the overall range is quite narrow, and there are no difficult long tones or shouts at all.

If you find the falsetto sections challenging, instead of singing delicately, try singing them a bit louder with a mix-voice approach.

Pamela/flower

A heart-stirring track where driving, high-speed rock energy coexists with a bittersweet ache.

Released by Balloon in October 2021, the song topped the VocaColle rankings and reached a million views just 17 days after its debut.

Centered on themes of nighttime loneliness and false love, it portrays a protagonist struggling to move forward while bearing a pain like a hole blown through the heart.

flower’s almost-tearing vocals ride an arrangement that fuses guitar with electronic programming, conveying emotional turbulence directly.

It’s a song you’ll want by your side on nights filled with sadness—one to listen to when you need a gentle companion.
