Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “Super Strongest” Music Video

An idol group that has gained popularity with a music style and aesthetic fully devoted to uniquely Japanese cuteness, Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

Because they are known as successors to Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, I think any high school otaku well-versed in idol culture would know them.

Their song “Cho Saikyo” is a signature piece of theirs.

While it gives a pop impression, the vocal range is not that wide at mid2C to hiC♯, and the vocal lines don’t have abrupt pitch jumps, so it’s relatively easy.

A hundred flowers in full bloomIkuta Rira23rank/position

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Non-Credit Opening | Ikuta Lira “Hyakka Ryoran”

Lila Ikuta, a female singer-songwriter known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, is characterized by impeccably precise pitch control reminiscent of a Vocaloid, and she excels at dynamic vocal lines with steep ups and downs.

However, this song she performs, “Hyakka Ryoran,” is, unusually for her repertoire, a piece with relatively gentle pitch movement.

The phrasing isn’t overly dense either, so there are rests that let you prepare for the next section, making it a comparatively easy song to sing.

Fujii Kaze – Tabiji (Official Video)

Fujii Kaze is an artist known for his unique style of blending R&B into J-pop.

For teenage boys as well, singing as effortlessly as he does is something to aspire to, isn’t it? Among his songs, one that’s especially easy to sing is Tabiji.

Compared to his other tracks, it uses fewer techniques common in R&B—such as vocal runs—and the vocal range is relatively narrow, making it a particularly singable piece for teenage male singers.

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.

YOASOBI “Gunjou” Official Music Video

Inspired by the manga Blue Period, this piece portrays a fervent passion for immersing yourself in what you love.

It’s a track released digitally in September 2020 by YOASOBI, a unit that turns novels into music, and it’s also known as the song from the Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate commercial.

The song is included on their first EP, THE BOOK, released in 2021, and ikura’s clear vocals together with the exhilarating sound really resonate.

The chorus features a group-singing part, so even if you’re not confident singing alone, you can have a blast with friends! Even in sections with sustained high notes, it’s nothing to fear when everyone raises their voices together.

How about enjoying it at karaoke after club activities or after school, feeling the bond with your friends as you sing?

Rira Ikuta “Humming” Official Music Video

Although Rira Ikuta is known for her captivating high notes, Humming is, as the title suggests, a song you sing in a relaxed, humming style.

There isn’t much movement up and down in pitch, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Since there’s humming in the intro, I’d love for you to join in.

When you relax and hum, it becomes much easier to stay on pitch, and your vocal cords resonate properly rather than singing from the throat.

The trick is to take in plenty of air through your mouth and let it bounce lightly! One thing to watch out for is that if you end up making sound from your throat, your singing voice will stay throaty.

So, make a surprised expression and let the resonance lightly buzz between your eyebrows.

If you open your mouth just a little, the resonance will more easily travel to the area between your eyebrows.

The key is to keep it light and effortless, without tension.

The higher the notes get, the more breath you need, so it’s important to inhale and exhale for each phrase!

KICKBACKYonezu Kenshi28rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who also has a persona as a Vocaloid producer and continues to expand the musical possibilities of the J-pop scene.

The track released in November 2022, used as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man, drew major attention for featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu on arrangement.

With its drum’n’bass-driven, intense beat and whirlwind progression, the sound feels like a roller coaster that sweeps listeners along, deeply linking with the work’s frenzied worldview.

The lyrics, infused with the protagonist’s somewhat nihilistic and self-destructive desire for happiness and good fortune, strike a powerful impulse into the listener’s heart.

It’s an aggressive, cool rock tune that blasts away the boredom of everyday life and lifts your mood to the max.
