FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “One More”

A signature cheer song by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS that encourages people pursuing their dreams and challenges.

The overall vocal range is D3–A4, and aside from the high note at the end of the chorus, it’s generally within an easy-to-sing range.

It’s best to hit the long high G4 squarely on the karaoke pitch bar.

Aim your voice toward that G4 and imagine letting your emotions burst at that moment! It’s important to take in plenty of air with diaphragmatic breathing, so be mindful to breathe without tensing your body.

CHEHON – Inpakutto / THE FIRST TAKE

Osaka reggae anthem “Inbakuto.” I think it’s rare for people who were in their 20s to have enjoyed it in real time when it was released, but there are probably many who discovered it through CHEHON’s participation in MC battles.

Although the track is structured with few break points, its vocal range is narrow, so as long as you memorize the lyrics and flow, you should be able to sing it without any issues.

It’s a sure-fire hit for guys’ karaoke, so definitely add it to your repertoire.

Ayaka / Nijiiro Music Video

This song is characterized by bright, hopeful lyrics and melody.

Ayaka’s powerful voice fills listeners with courage and energy.

Released as a single in June 2014, it was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Hanako to Anne.” It was later featured in commercials for UQ mobile and Dai-ichi Life, gaining popularity across a wide audience.

It’s also a popular choice for weddings and is perfect for moments you want to share with someone special.

It’s easy to sing at karaoke and is sure to liven up gatherings with friends.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Let’s Become a Family (Full ver.)

“Let’s Become a Family,” a perennial wedding favorite, is also highly popular.

Released in 2011 as a double A-side single alongside “fighting pose,” the song drew further attention when it was featured in a commercial for the wedding magazine Zexy.

Although there are a few parts—such as the chorus and the ending—where the key goes a bit higher, it’s fundamentally a song in which men with lower voices can really showcase their vocal appeal.

With its gentle, unhurried tempo and flowing melody, it’s easy on the ears, helps you get into the song, and is exceptionally easy to sing.

Try it at karaoke, or practice it and sing it at a friend’s wedding.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Soranin'

A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, a band whose evolution is seriously cool.

It’s a 2010 single used as the main theme for a film of the same name.

If you’re in your late twenties, some of you probably heard it in real time as part of your generation.

It’s an emotional masterpiece no matter where you slice it: the film’s scenes vividly come to mind, yet it also overlaps with everyday life in a universal way.

Among Ajikan’s songs, “Soranin” is relatively easy to keep rhythm with, so it’s a great pick even for people who feel a bit uneasy about karaoke or who have a lower voice.

I recommend it! Start by singing steadily and simply along with the melody, then go all out and belt it in the final section!

RADWIMPS – Last Virgin [Official Music Video]

“Last Virgin” is also popular as a wedding song.

It’s a love ballad that sings of pure, straightforward love.

In the title, “last” means the final one, and “virgin” means the first.

In the song, it portrays a loved one as an irreplaceable, one-and-only presence.

It’s such a lovely turn of phrase that it seems perfect for creating a romantic mood.

The overall key is low, so even those who find high notes difficult should give it a try.
