Ruby RingTerao Akira
Akira Terao has been hugely successful not only as an actor but also as a singer.
While he isn’t necessarily known for exceptional vocal power, his smooth vocals born from his low voice are highly appealing and have produced several hit songs.
Among them, the particularly popular piece is Ruby no Yubiwa (Ruby Ring).
Although the song features a very low range down to low G, its highest note is only B3, so most people should be able to sing it.
The melody contains many repetitions and the vocal line doesn’t demand much volume, so as long as you keep your pitch accurate, you can aim for a high score.
However, your score will drop if you miss notes during the key change in the latter half, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, be sure to practice repeatedly.
Cactus FlowerZaitsu Kazuo
It’s a simple and lyrical masterpiece by Kazuo Zaitsu.
It became a drama’s theme song and was a big hit.
It’s a good idea to add this song—still loved by many—to your repertoire.
The melody line is smooth, making it very easy to sing and a truly great piece.
The key is to sing it lightly without forcing your voice.

Burn, you fine womantsuisuto
For men in their 60s, rock bands were likely an important part of the pages of their youth.
Among them, many probably felt their hearts race at the full-on masculinity of The TWIST’s sound.
That’s why I recommend “Moero Iiyo-na” (“Burn, Lovely Woman”).
Sera Masanori is known for his striking shouts, but he keeps them moderate on this track.
The range spans mid1 C# to hi A, which is on the slightly wider side for a male song, but not unmanageable—adjust the key and you should be able to sing it without trouble.
It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Eris with Azure Eyesanzenchitai
The band Anzen Chitai has produced numerous hit numbers.
From ballads to rock-flavored pop, they’ve turned all kinds of works into popular songs.
The one I’d like to recommend this time is Aoi Hitomi no Erisu (Eris with Azure Eyes).
It’s a gentle ballad, yet it also has well-placed moments of lift.
Rather than a big, explosive build, it’s the kind of song that gives you chills and goosebumps.
Its vocal range is quite narrow at mid1 C to mid2 D#, and the melodic movement is smooth, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
In the night sky after the rainImawano Kiyoshirō
Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.
Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.
While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.
The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
RunawayRATS&STAR
When it comes to the groups that laid the foundation for soul music and R&B in Japan, Rats & Star surely comes to mind.
As their black-coated appearance suggested, they had deep respect for Black music.
Their song “Runaway” is one of their signature tracks, blending elements of Black music with kayōkyoku and J-pop into a very singable style.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D# to mid2 G, so as long as you focus on the groove, you should be able to aim for a high score.
interaction; friendly contact; bondingNakamura Masatoshi
Masatoshi Nakamura has been active across a wide range of fields as an actor and singer.
As a singer, his main profession is acting, so it’s not that he possessed exceptionally high technical skill, but his expressive vocals did help him establish a place for a time.
Among Nakamura’s songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for aiming high karaoke scores is Fureai.
Its vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 A to mid2 D#, the tempo is a moderate BPM 123, and the melodic movement is much gentler compared to contemporary songs, so it should be quite feasible to target a high score.
If the end of the chorus is difficult to project, instead of using mixed voice, another option is to raise the key by one or two steps and sing it in falsetto.
