Velvet Poemback number

Velvet Poem

Back number is a rock band that has continued to enjoy popularity since the 2000s.

While they’re labeled a rock band, in reality their music has very strong pop elements, making it a band known for having relatively few complex melodies.

Among back number’s songs, the one I especially recommend for elementary school students is Velvet no Uta (“Velvet Poem”).

Not only is the melody simple and easy for children to sing, but the song also centers on themes of growth and challenge, making it an ethically recommendable piece as well.

Carrying YouInoue Azumi

Azumi Inoue – Carrying You

It’s “Carrying You,” well known from Studio Ghibli’s film Castle in the Sky! This song is sometimes chosen as a piece for choir competitions, too.

Among middle schoolers, almost everyone knows it, right? Some people aren’t confident in singing because they don’t know how to sing like in typical J-pop, and their singing ends up sounding choral.

If that’s you, try choosing a song where that choir-like quality becomes your strength—you’ll be able to sing it perfectly! It’s your unique voice, so pick songs that showcase your best qualities and break out of your shell!
