SEKAI NO OWARI「Habit」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.

As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.

However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.

While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.

Hilcrhyme – “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter” Music Video

Hilcrhyme is a music duo that has gained popularity with a sound that fuses hip-hop beats and delicate textures.

Their major second single, “Shunkashuto,” landed numerous tie-ins and became the track that brought the name Hilcrhyme to a wide audience.

As the title suggests, its message centers on the four seasons, emotionally portraying time spent with someone special.

It’s a hip-hop number with a relaxed shuffle beat that feels great—one that men in their twenties, the group’s generation, in particular will want to sing.

Merry XmasBoA58rank/position

BoA / Meri Kuri

BoA’s classic winter ballad “Meri Kuri,” released in 2004.

It’s the kind of song you want to listen to when the Christmas season comes around.

Its beautiful melody and the yearning feelings for someone you love make your chest tighten.

It’s also a karaoke favorite, and for people in their 20s—especially the latter half of their 20s—it might be a generational anthem.

If you sing the verses in a whispery tone, it’s easier to capture the mood.

It’s perfect for creating a lovely atmosphere on a date, and it’s also a great pick when you want to fully soak in the Christmas spirit!

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI59rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.

Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.

Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.

If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.
