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!

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!

You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO31rank/position

SHISHAMO “You and the Summer Festival”

Although it was released in 2014, this classic hit, “Kimi to Natsu Fes,” has become hugely popular among Gen Z through platforms like TikTok.

It was SHISHAMO’s first single, the beloved three-piece band, and its music video is known for being set at the music festival “VIVA LA ROCK,” which took place in May 2014.

With its upbeat, straightforward guitar sound, catchy melody, and heart-fluttering lyrics, it’s a song we’d love to hear teenage girls who love festivals—or dream of going to them—sing.

You’ll want to pay a bit of attention to the key change in the chorus, but it’s not difficult; just ride the uptempo rhythm and sing naturally!

[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!

Masqueradeharha33rank/position

harha – Masquerade (Fuji TV Tuesday 9 p.m. drama “STINGERS: Metropolitan Police Undercover Investigation Verification Office” opening theme) - Music Video

harha is a music duo consisting of track maker Haruha and vocalist Yonabe.

Their hallmark is a genre-free musicality, and lately their momentum has been building rapidly.

Among harha’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Masquerade.” If I had to sum it up, it’s quintessentially orthodox.

The range, the pitch movement, and the tempo are all perfectly balanced, so the vocal line has no quirks whatsoever.

A junior high school girl with a steady vocal register should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Suisei Hoshimachi, the VTuber currently attracting the most attention, is a member of hololive and has gained nationwide popularity as an artist.

While many of her songs span a wide vocal range with touches of falsetto, that’s not the case with Kireigoto.

In this piece, aside from a single falsetto moment that appears once in the chorus, there are no high parts, and the song is arranged in a low register throughout.

Even the falsetto line is something she could sing in chest voice but chooses to render in falsetto, making it easy to sing for women with lower voices.

The reason I laughASCA35rank/position

ASCA “The Reason I Smile” Music Video (TV Anime “Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig” Opening Theme)

A single by ASCA, released in November 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig.” It’s an upbeat, very energetic track, and since the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, both tempo-wise and melody-wise it’s an easy pick for karaoke that anyone can sing without strain.

Because it’s such a catchy, groove-heavy song, the performance can fall apart if your vocal rhythm gets sloppy, so be sure to feel the rhythm of the backing track and sing in time!
