Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Kondō Masahiko
A savior for people who aren’t good at singing: that would be Matchy’s early numbers.
Their vocal range is extremely narrow and the melodies are simple, yet they’re flashy enough to work as proper pop songs, so they don’t bore listeners.
If you’re tone-deaf, you should sing Matchy’s early songs.
His later work is harder because his singing improved and his range expanded, but Kondo Masahiko’s songs in general are great for karaoke.

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.
