Go for it!Urufuruzu92rank/position
An energetic cheer song by Ulfuls, with powerful shouts and an up-tempo melody that resonates in the heart.
Its theme is walking forward with confidence and courage, carrying a message to face difficulties with a positive attitude.
Upon its release in December 1995, it took the music scene by storm, as if casting new light on the spirit of the times.
The album “Banzai” also became a massive hit, selling over one million copies, and the band went on to perform in the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen the following year.
This work is truly a song of encouragement for the heart, gently giving you a push when you need a little boost in everyday life or want to rally yourself.
Marigoldaimyon93rank/position
A song by Aimyon that gently sings of the fragility of love and the hope within it.
Set to a soft acoustic sound, it carefully depicts memories that have passed and the feelings of pledging eternal love.
Beautifully expressing the complex emotions of those in love, this work was released in August 2018 and set numerous records.
Its calm and comfortable melody line is easy to sing and perfect for enjoying in a relaxed mood.
It’s an ideal track to sing at karaoke with friends while reminiscing together.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu94rank/position
This is an uplifting anthem that powerfully portrays the pursuit of dreams and hope, and it is one of Yuzu’s signature songs, widely loved as NHK’s official theme for the Athens Olympics.
Carried by the soothing sound of acoustic guitars, it gently sings of hidden tears and the journey continued despite uncertainty.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and since its release in July 2004, it has continued to warm the hearts of many.
With a leisurely melody, the song has a comfortable vocal range and is easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a heartwarming message song that stands beside those who work hard every day, those who face difficulties, and those about to take a new step in life—why not give it a try?
366 daysHY95rank/position
A signature ballad by HY, released in 2008 and widely known as the theme song for the film “Red Thread.” “366 Days” has been covered by many artists and is especially popular.
It’s basically composed in a lower range; if you resonate in your mouth and sing with a deep tone, you can achieve a powerful voice like Izumi Nakasone’s.
The key is switching to falsetto in the pre-chorus—if you don’t nail that, it feels hard to flow smoothly into the chorus.
Aim gently and accurately for the pitch bar there.
The chorus builds up a lot, so singing with an explosive burst of emotion should also help enhance your expressiveness!
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel96rank/position
Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many songs, “Driver’s High” is one of the most popular.
It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide acclaim.
The song’s vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 E to high B.
While high B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s delivered with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.
It’s a perfect piece for practicing mixed voice, which requires strong projection, so definitely give it a try.
A Perfect SkyBONNIE PINK97rank/position
This song, A Perfect Sky, is one of BONNIE PINK’s signature tracks.
It was released in 2006 as her 21st single.
Many people may strongly associate it with summer because it was used in a commercial for Shiseido’s ANESSA sunscreen, a staple of summer ads.
It’s a classic summer hit that has been covered by many artists.
The lyrics portray a midsummer romance, giving the song a slightly mature and bittersweet feel.
If I Fall in LoveCrystal Kay98rank/position
For women in their 30s, this song might strongly resonate as an emblem of the golden era of 2000s romance dramas.
“Koi ni Ochitara” was also the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Koi ni Ochitara: Boku no Seikou no Himitsu.” It was certified million for both its chaku-uta (ringtone) and single track.
It features Crystal Kay’s characteristically light vocals, so it’s best sung with a bright, buoyant feel.
The overall vocal range is G3 to D#5, and the B melody includes higher parts, so try to keep it light rather than belting.
In the final chorus, the key modulates upward, so imagining the resonance in your head voice throughout should make it easier to stay on pitch.
