A Little Love SongMONGOL8008rank/position

A Little Love Song

It’s a coming-of-age love song that’s been adored across generations since its release on September 16, 2001.

The overall vocal range of the song is A#2 to G#4, and anyone who’s tried singing it has probably felt how wide the lower range is.

If you’re not used to singing low notes, your voice can get muffled and it becomes hard to sing.

In fact, when you’re not accustomed to a certain part of your range—whether low or high—you use more breath than you think.

You need to inhale with diaphragmatic breathing, and you also need to fully exhale the breath you’ve taken in.

Many people surprisingly don’t exhale completely, so for low notes, project your voice forward slowly and make sure to breathe out fully.

If you can nail the low notes in the A melody, you can suddenly aim for a high score!

ORANGE RANGE “Shanghai Honey” MV

Recently, ORANGE RANGE has enjoyed a cross-generational revival hit and is once again drawing public attention.

They’ve produced many classic songs, and for men in their 30s, every track likely holds special memories.

Among their works, one I especially recommend is Shanghai Honey.

Released in 2003, it was composed on a foundation of the then-trending mixture rock.

It carries a somewhat West Coast vibe, characterized by a laid-back yet distinctly dope feel.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

A signature song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, known for its sharp guitar riffs and fast-paced sound.

It was the opening theme for season 4 of the anime Fullmetal Alchemist and reportedly won the Heisei Anisong Grand Prize’s Artist Song Award (2000–2009).

Being from the same generation, I naturally got hooked on it too.

The chorus features prominent shouts, but if you’re using a scoring function, be careful not to overdo the shouting, as it can throw off your pitch.

Since it’s a band-style track, make sure to listen closely to the drums in the background so you don’t fall behind the beat!

GO!GO!7188 [Koi no Uta] with low-quality PV

This work, known as a signature song by GO!GO!7188, a rock band that defined the 2000s, exquisitely matches lyrics that depict a bittersweet love with performances that showcase each member’s individuality.

Released in March 2006, the track has continued to be loved by many fans as one of the band’s defining pieces.

Its slow-tempo rock ballad style is moving even just to listen to.

And if you read the lyrics, they’ll resonate with you even more.

While carrying the ache of unrequited love, the pure feeling of wishing the other person happiness comes through clearly.

If you sing it at karaoke, it’s perfect for moments when you want to express your feelings.

It’s sure to be a song that stirs a man’s heart!

Tsubasa

A rock ballad depicting youthful farewells and new departures.

Released on September 22, 2004, it was Under Graph’s major-label debut single, and many people of that generation surely got hooked on Tsubasa! The overall vocal range is E3 to A4, which should be comfortable for men who sing regularly.

If you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, the key is to keep the high notes in the chorus steady and balance power with a touch of wistfulness.

Since the lyrics are clearly articulated, focusing on crisp vowel pronunciation will also help you match the pitch bar more easily.

Whiteberry “Summer Festival” MUSIC VIDEO

For many women in their early 40s, when thinking back to songs that were nationwide hits during their 20s, this “Natsu Matsuri” likely comes to mind.

It’s a piece known for its extremely catchy melody, but I imagine many people feel it’s hard to sing because of the high pitch.

While the song certainly stands out for its height, its overall vocal range isn’t particularly wide.

If you adjust the key, even those who find it hard to project their voice should be able to sing it without any issues.

It’s one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature tracks and was released in 1998 as their 10th single.

This track is guaranteed to liven up any party.
