X JAPAN – Kurenai (Tokyo Dome 2009.05.03) [1080P HD]

X JAPAN’s famous and high-pitched “Kurenai” starts off surprisingly calm, making you wonder, “Is this really that song?”—at least that’s what I thought on first listen (lol).

It might be easier for women to sing in the original key, but it’s quite high for men.

Toshl’s vocals are incredible—he maintains solid high tones while adding rasp.

The key to hitting high notes is your core.

If your body wobbles, your voice won’t project forward, so make sure to support from your lower abdomen (tanden).

There are parts that feel like you’re shouting, but if you actually just shout, you’ll wreck your throat.

Instead, try resonating in your head with the sensation of a surprised, sudden high voice.

This is definitely a song you’ll want to add to your karaoke repertoire!

Silent JealousyX JAPAN2rank/position

X JAPAN 『Silent Jealousy』（HD）

When people think of bands with lots of difficult songs, many probably imagine X JAPAN first.

TOSHI’s high-tone vocals are quite hard to replicate, and it’s no exaggeration to say most of their tracks are challenging.

Among X JAPAN’s songs, one I especially recommend is Silent Jealousy.

Its range is mid2B to hi C#, which isn’t particularly wide for X JAPAN, but most of the chorus sits between hi B and hi C#, making the chorus impressively high.

It’s a great practice piece for those looking to build endurance in their high-tone vocals.

X JAPAN – Rusty Nail(PV)

If you’re singing on New Year’s Eve, it has to be this song: X JAPAN’s “Rusty Nail.” This is a song that resonated with every rocker’s heart.

With its hard sound and catchy melody, it’s perfect for everyone to get hyped and sing together on New Year’s Eve.

The key is very high, so women can sing it, and even if men can’t hit the notes, it’s a song everyone can shout along to together.

Definitely give it a try.

ENDLESS RAINX JAPAN4rank/position

X JAPAN 『ENDLESS RAIN』（HD）

This work is striking for its rain-soaked melody that etches itself deeply into the heart.

YOSHIKI’s delicate piano and Toshl’s poignantly resonant vocals capture the pain of heartbreak with remarkable clarity.

After being included on the 1989 album “BLUE BLOOD,” it has continued to be loved as one of X JAPAN’s signature songs.

Its descending chord progression is notable for the soothing way it resonates within you.

A track you’ll want to play on a rainy-day drive or during a quiet night.

It’s also a karaoke favorite, and for those in their 50s, it’s a deeply nostalgic song that recalls the days of their youth.

Forever LoveX JAPAN5rank/position

X Japan – Forever Love

“Forever Love,” X JAPAN’s greatest love song, runs just under nine minutes.

Many of X JAPAN’s songs are long, but this one is definitely indispensable.

It conveys a grand, boundless love, and despite its length, it never feels long—just listening to it is deeply soothing.

It’s great to sing freely and comfortably on your own at karaoke, and it’s also perfect to sing to your partner.

In the span of its playtime, this song evokes a vast love and a variety of stories.
