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!

Mela!Ryokushokushakai72rank/position

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Mela!' Music Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Mela!

This piece is included on the popular four-piece pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s album “SINGALONG,” released in April 2020.

In 2023, its total streaming count surpassed 300 million, making it a song widely known across generations.

It’s a dazzling track featuring expansive vocals and a driving band sound complemented by a brass section.

Using a breathy, gentle tone for the A and B sections, then switching to a sharp, breathless tone for the chorus will bring out the song’s distinctive coolness.

In the C section after the guitar solo and keyboard solo, just before the ending, aim to convey a gently engaging tone within a sense of power.

And for the ending, let loose and sing your heart out.

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!

[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!

If I could become a constellationkessoku bando77rank/position

[Lyric Video] Kessoku Band “If We Could Become Constellations” / In-episode song from TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” Episode 12

Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.

Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.

The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.

Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.

The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!
