Aqua Timez 'Beyond a Thousand Nights' Music Video (Theme song of the movie 'BLEACH: Memories of Nobody')

When people talk about iconic medium-tempo ballads from the 2000s, I’m sure many in their mid to late 30s are reminded of this song.

“Sen no Yoru wo Koete” (Beyond a Thousand Nights) is Aqua Timez’s second single overall and was also used as the theme song for the anime film BLEACH: Memories of Nobody.

With an arrangement that includes strings, it’s a classic that really evokes the 2000s, yet its clear melody line and straightforward structure make it very singable at karaoke.

While the pitch isn’t particularly high, it does include some fairly low notes and the overall range is relatively wide, so try to focus on delivering it with dynamic contrast!

DOES 'Donten' (TV Tokyo anime 'Gintama' opening theme)

The renowned trio DOES, formed in Fukuoka, rose to nationwide fame thanks to their signature song “Donten,” released in 2008.

It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Gintama and became a major hit, reaching the top three on the Oricon charts.

The song’s raw, stripped-down guitar sound—made possible by the trio’s minimalist lineup—is incredibly cool, and it’s hugely popular at karaoke.

The rugged, husky vocals and blunt yet moving melody aren’t particularly difficult and are easy to sing, but because the melody doesn’t change much, be mindful to avoid sounding too monotone when you perform it.

Ikimonogakari 'Arigatou' Music Video

A two-member band, Ikimono-gakari, beloved by a wide range of listeners regardless of age or gender, released this as their 18th single.

The lyrics, which convey straightforward gratitude, may resonate especially deeply with those in their thirties.

It’s a singable ballad that has become a staple in women’s karaoke repertoires.

BUMP OF CHICKEN「sailing day」

In fact, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s very first anime tie-in song was “sailing day.” Released in 2003 as a double A-side single together with “Lost Man,” it’s a classic noted for its guitar sound and melodies that deliver that distinctly BUMP-like, heart-searing sense of wistful speed.

Many people now in their 30s probably fire up this song at karaoke with friends of the same generation when it’s time to get the party going.

Looking at the melody, the overall range is relatively wide: in true Fujiwara style, it showcases calm low tones in the first half and then opens up into soaring highs in the chorus.

Those who are used to singing should handle it without trouble.

If your voice is on the lower side, adjusting the key will make it perfectly manageable.

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika’s latest song, “Hebi” (“Snake”).

Since releasing “Aporia,” Yorushika has continued putting out lower-key tracks, and this new song is also arranged within a narrow range that’s easy for anyone to sing.

This work doesn’t feature the extremely low phrases that are characteristic of Yorushika.

Rather than being a “low” song, it feels more like a piece with a limited vocal range, and in keeping with that, the vocal line is crafted to be gently shaped with minimal rises and falls.

Because the instrumentation is somewhat subdued, be mindful of fade-outs and breathing when singing so the vocals don’t stick out awkwardly.
