Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA92rank/position

AAA / “Love Sound and Rainy Sky” Music Video

A co-ed performance group, AAA released this song as their 38th single in September 2013.

It’s also included on the album “Eighth Wonder.” The track won the Excellence Award at the 55th Japan Record Awards and was performed twice on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, becoming one of the group’s signature hits.

It portrays feelings that are hard to express honestly, yet a sincere desire to stay together forever—a slightly bittersweet love song that overlays a pining heart with the early autumn rainy sky.

The frustration of wanting to say “I love you” but not being able to take that step will resonate deeply, and the lyrics are sure to strike a chord with anyone in love.

With both male and female vocal parts, it’s also great for a karaoke duet!

Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi93rank/position

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

The famed Vocaloid track “Strong Wind All Back (feat.

Yuki Kaai),” which became a nationwide hit, is known as an approachable representative song of the Vocaloid genre.

While its range of mid1 G to hi B is typical for female vocals, the song is structured in a way that can feel somewhat high.

The reason is the relatively large number of appearances of the highest note, hi B—25 times in total.

When actually singing it, women are recommended to lower the key by one or two semitones.

Overall difficulty is quite low, and it tends to go over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

[Ado] I’m the Strongest (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)

A singer who continues to captivate the world with overwhelming vocal power and expressiveness, Ado.

Many people may feel her signature songs are so challenging that they give up on singing them.

That’s exactly why we recommend taking on “I’m Invincible.” A massive hit as an insert song in the 2022 film ONE PIECE FILM RED, this track is a refreshing pop tune provided by Motoki Omori of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Among Ado’s songs, its melody is catchy and easy to remember, and the chorus delivers an exceptional sense of release.

While switching between chest voice and falsetto is essential, you can absolutely pull it off with enough momentum.

The lyrics, infused with a strong belief in oneself, will fill you with courage just by singing them.

It’s the perfect song for hyping up a karaoke session with friends or for when you want a boost of confidence.

One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS95rank/position

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.
