[75th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen Performance Song] Odoriko / Vaundy: Music Video

Among Vaundy’s works, Dancer is renowned as one of his finest songs.

While he now releases many tracks that highlight powerful vocals, back then he tended to put out songs featuring soft, dream pop–like vocals.

This track is no exception, with a vocal line in that vein.

Perhaps the most singable aspect is its narrow vocal range.

It’s compact enough that you don’t need to hit high notes at all, with few long sustained tones and little demand for volume, making it easy even for teenage boys whose voices are changing.

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki2rank/position

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”

When it comes to the most popular actor among Gen Z, wouldn’t Masaki Suda be the top pick? He’s also thriving as an artist and has dropped several hit tunes.

Among his many standout songs, the one I especially recommend for teenage boys is Sayonara Elegy.

This track features a style that combines folk and rock, reminiscent of Kazuyoshi Saito.

While it has intensity, the overall melody stays within a narrow vocal range.

There are few long notes and no sudden jumps in pitch, making it a perfect choice for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.

March 9Remioromen3rank/position

Remioromen – March 9th (Music Video Short ver.)

Remioromen’s classic “March 9th” is famous as a graduation song.

In fact, it was originally written for the wedding of a mutual friend of the band members.

Still, its lyrics that evoke a sense of “future” make it perfect for graduation season too.

When you feel sad about parting ways with friends you’ve spent so much time with, this song can make you feel like, “I’ll do my best.” Since it’s sung by a male vocalist, the verses are low, but because it’s such a well-known graduation song, it’s also recommended for women.

Try raising the key a bit when you sing it.

Bunny GirlAKASAKI4rank/position

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

The song “Bunny Girl,” which became a major hit from 2024 to 2025, is a work by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, characterized by a subtly languid mood throughout.

Among recent Japanese songs, this track boasts an exceptionally narrow vocal range—specifically mid1 C to mid2 E.

Thanks to this notably limited range, anyone—regardless of gender—should be able to sing it comfortably with the right key adjustment.

Be sure to check it out.

Only for you, clear skiesYorushika5rank/position

Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

This is one of Yorushika’s signature songs, released in 2018.

It’s a bittersweet pop track themed around summer, youth, love, and parting.

The overall vocal range is relatively narrow at D4–D#5, so it’s highly recommended for singers who find higher notes easier than lower ones.

In the verses (A and B sections), it’s more spoken than sung, and the spacing between phrases is a key point.

The solid band arrangement makes it easy to lock into the groove, so you’ll likely feel your energy rise in the chorus.

Listen closely to the drums and be careful not to rush the tempo.

In the last chorus, the key changes and the pitch goes even higher, so try to sing with extra drive and momentum.

Drunkenness UnknownKanaria6rank/position

"GUMI" Drunkenness Ignorant [Kanaria]

A Vocaloid track released in May 2022, it’s an addictive J-pop song sung by GUMI.

With a jazzy, alluring vibe, it portrays dreams and reality, conflict, and the fragility of love through distinctive phrases—it’s a million-hit success.

Yoidhore Shirazu seemed especially popular among middle and high schoolers.

The overall vocal range is A3–D5, which is quite modest for a Vocaloid song, and the piece itself has an easy, effortless feel, making it comfortable to sing without strain.

Its short length of 2 minutes and 14 seconds also makes it easy to memorize.

I’m a BelieverSPYAIR7rank/position

SPYAIR “I’m a Believer” Music Video Full ver. (TV Anime “Haikyu!! Second Season” Opening Theme)

SPYAIR is a band that’s popular for their powerful rock sound.

They’re especially popular among people in their 20s and are constantly active on the front lines.

Among SPYAIR’s songs, the one I particularly recommend for teenage boys is I’m a Believer.

The melody has a classic rock feel, but the pitch movement isn’t too extreme, and the vocal range is relatively narrow for their work.

In an era with many falsetto-heavy songs, a track like this that can be sung comfortably in chest voice could be a reliable addition to the repertoire of teenage male singers.
