Taylor Swift – Shake It Off

This is the catchiest dance tune among Taylor Swift’s songs.

The music video is adorable, and seeing her in street fashion feels fresh and very cute.

It was such a big hit that almost everyone has heard it at least once, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to sing a slick Western pop song? The thing is, there aren’t many like that out there.

This “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” is one of the few cool Western songs that’s easy to sing.

You’ll notice when you hear the melody that the song is surprisingly simple.

It actually works even without much dynamics or vibrato.

Of course, using those techniques will make it sound way better.

The melody leans toward the lower register, but if it’s too low for you, just raise the key.

The overall range is narrow, so it’s relatively easy to sing.

As for the falsetto parts in the middle of the song, feel free to tweak and arrange them loosely to get by.

Maroon 5 – Sugar (Official Music Video)

With this song, it could be said that it became famous because the comedian Takahashi from the duo Savannah created a routine based on it.

I think many people already knew and liked it even before that.

The rhythm is easy to catch, and the English lyrics are easy to sing, so please give it a try.

It’s sure to get everyone pumped up.

Idina Menzel – Let It Go (From Frozen/Sing-Along)

A song from a Disney movie that sparked a worldwide boom, carrying a message of self-liberation and self-acceptance.

The lyrics express Elsa’s feelings as she builds her ice castle, and every listen gives you courage.

It was used in a film released in 2013 and became so popular it was translated into 25 languages.

Idina Menzel’s powerful vocals are striking, and while it takes considerable singing ability to nail it at karaoke, it feels incredible if you pull it off! It’s perfect for getting hyped with friends or coworkers.

The Japanese version also became a huge hit thanks to Takako Matsu’s vocal performance, so even beginners to Western music can give it a try with confidence.

Adele – Hello (Official Music Video)

This song was covered by Taka from ONE OK ROCK, and one of my male students practiced it a lot in our lessons! It was the Taka version, but as he kept practicing, he was able to hit the high notes in the chorus cleanly and comfortably.

So it might be a good practice piece, and it’s also a song that feels amazing to sing once you can do it, so I recommend it! The A and B sections are basically low and gentle, but the chorus jumps into high notes, so the trick is to sing without tensing up.

You might feel like belting, but imagine sending the sound far out.

There are also falsetto ad-libs, so if you keep resonating in the space between your eyebrows and the top of your head, switching between chest voice and falsetto will become smoother.

Try to stay mindful of lifting your facial muscles as you sing!
