Yumcha “Aisaretai” [Lyric Video]

The work “Aisaretai,” which gained popularity mainly among teenagers, is a piece by Yumcha that portrays the feelings of a girl who can’t let go of her love for her somewhat deadbeat boyfriend.

While the lyrics are negative, the melody is brimming with pop charm, resulting in an overall bright tone.

Although the song is on the higher side, the vocal range itself isn’t particularly wide.

With proper key adjustment, most women should be able to sing it without issue.

AiScReam “Love♡Scream!” Official Lyric Video

Right now, the work “Ai♡Scream!” is hugely popular on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Cutesy behavior can sometimes be irritating, but when it’s taken as far as it is in this piece, those feelings might not even arise.

Emphasizing femininity and a hyper-cutesy style to the extreme, this song is guaranteed to be a big hit at karaoke.

There are some spoken phrases, so you’ll need to nail the standard intonation there, but overall the vocal line isn’t particularly difficult.

If you focus on following the pitch, anyone should be able to sing it easily.

Aimer “Beautiful World” Lyric Video

Popular singer-songwriter Aimer.

It’s no exaggeration to call her the queen of modern ballads; she has earned wide acclaim for her heartrending songs.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Utsukushii Sekai.

While it doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it features many low to lower-mid sections throughout, making it a piece that lets women with lower voices showcase their appeal to the fullest.

Since it’s not a song where Aimer relies on vocal showmanship, the vocal line is kept simple with little fluctuation.

It’s a song that excels in both singability and the allure of low tones.

Hikaru Utada “Electricity” Music Video

Hikaru Utada’s new song “Electricity.” This work is crafted with a highly intricate musicality: within an amapiano-like atmosphere, it also incorporates the flavors of Black music such as R&B.

On top of that, the electronic track creates an indescribable sonic world.

While the pitches are a bit unconventional, the piece features many rests and a narrow vocal range, making it very easy to sing.

If you want to add a stylish and original track to your repertoire, this is a must-check!

[Official] Uru “Filament” – Theme song for the film “When You Cry Because It’s Delicious”

Uru’s “Filament” gives the impression that the initial notes of each phrase are on the lower side.

To keep timing and pitch aligned, it’s important to nail those openings cleanly.

Overall, it’s a breathy song characteristic of Uru, but I think the chorus is very easy to sing if you use a gentle, falsetto-based approach.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn a poignant, bittersweet song!

I forget you, who are so quiet, in October.atarayo27rank/position

Atarayo - Forgetting You, the Quiet One in October (Music Video)

It went viral on social media, and the YouTube views have surpassed 50 million.

Released on YouTube in November 2020, it’s the first original song by this four-member band.

It has an unusual structure that starts with spoken lines, making it easy to get emotionally engaged, and it seems like a song beginners can convey with that same momentum.

Although the song features a variety of melodies, none of them are particularly difficult, so you can simply enjoy the music while memorizing it.

Since the harmony parts are quite prominent in most of the melodies, try repeatedly listening to the main melody so you won’t get thrown off.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Released in 2024, this song became a social phenomenon: the “Giri-Giri Dance” went viral on social media, and it even broke into the top 20 on the Billboard Japan charts.

Kocchino Kento’s sensibility shines through in lyrics born from his own struggles with mental health—spoken head-on yet wrapped in just the right touch of humor and a pop sound that keeps things from getting too dark.

The message embedded in the lyrics—“If you feel at your limit, it’s okay to ask for help”—feels like an anthem for all of us living in the present day.

For karaoke, there are a few slightly fast-paced parts, but with a bit of practice you’ll get the hang of it quickly, and since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.

If you sing it while copying the dance with your friends, it’s even more fun!
