[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.

March 9Remioromen2rank/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.

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki3rank/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.

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.

Drunkenness UnknownKanaria5rank/position

"GUMI" Drunkenness Ignorant [Kanaria]

An irresistibly catchy dance number produced by Kanaria, a massively popular Vocaloid producer.

Released in May 2022, the track is also known for taking the top spot on Billboard JAPAN’s UGC chart.

It’s included in games like “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku,” so many teens may have discovered it while playing.

The worldbuilding, which blurs the line between reality and unreality, paired with its rhythmic beat, is truly addictive.

It might seem challenging at first glance, but the vocal range is relatively narrow and there are few demanding high notes, making it surprisingly easy to sing.

It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke, and even those with lower voice types can perform it stylishly.

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “The Cutest at the Highest Level!” Music Video

This work delivers a story of self-affirmation born from heartbreak, sung over a poppy sound that’s quintessentially Japanese idol music.

Written and composed by Koresawa, the song stands out for the protagonist’s uplifting declaration—after being dumped—of “I’ve become cuter.” Together with its catchy choreography, it surpassed 1.2 billion views on TikTok and took the top spot in DAM’s annual girls’ group karaoke ranking.

It’s a must-listen when you’re feeling down from a breakup or when you want to be reborn as a new you.

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 gained popularity with their powerful rock sound.

They’re loved by a wide range of generations and continue to be active on the front lines.

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

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

In an era with so many falsetto-heavy songs, a track like this that can be sung in chest voice could be a reassuring addition to a teenage boy’s repertoire.
