Song of the Eternal NightKamisama wa saikoro o furanai
The song by Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai is a ballad that portrays the pain of heartbreak and a sense of loss, resonating with many young listeners.
Included on the mini-album “A View on Lambda,” released in May 2019, the track spread through social media and climbed the charts on various music streaming services in 2020.
Its poignant lyrics, beautiful melody, and the emotionally rich vocals of Shusaku Yanagida come together to deeply move listeners.
With its slow tempo, it’s easy to sing while checking your pitch.
When performing it at karaoke, singing with emotion will help bring out the song’s full appeal.
single bedSha ran Q
This song, one of Sharam Q’s signature tracks, has long been a staple favorite as a ballad people love to sing at karaoke.
It portrays the feelings of a protagonist who realizes the value of a lost love and is filled with regret and loneliness.
Tsunku’s beautiful vocals bring out the poignancy embedded in the lyrics.
Released in 1994, the song became Sharam Q’s first million-selling hit.
In 1995, it was also used as an insert song in the film “Confession of Murder: 22 Years Later.” It’s often introduced as an easy song to sing at karaoke, and its slow tempo makes it appealing because you can check your pitch as you go.
It’s the perfect track for anyone with memories of romance or experiences of heartbreak.
CANDYMr.Children
Mr.Children’s classic song “CANDY,” included on the acclaimed 2005 album “I♡U.” This piece is characterized by a fairly wide vocal range of mid1 C# to hi B, with the highest chest note at hi A.
Although that note doesn’t appear often, it comes up once in each pre-modulation chorus, so before singing, be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and conscious breath control.
If you’re confident in your upper range, it might be interesting to challenge yourself by singing the post-modulation hi B not in falsetto but with a mixed voice.
catDISH//
Known as one of DISH//’s signature songs, this track debuted in August 2017 as the B-side to the single “Bokutachi ga Yarimashita.” It drew attention for being written and composed by the singer-songwriter Aimyon, and in 2020 an acoustic version was performed on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, bringing it back into the spotlight.
The lyrics, themed around loss and the pain of parting, are rendered in Aimyon’s distinctive style and resonate deeply with listeners.
Combined with Takumi Kitamura’s gentle, heartrending vocals, the song has become a work that many people relate to.
Its slow tempo and comfortable vocal range also make it a popular choice for karaoke.
Capsuleaiko
Compared to aiko’s other songs, “Capsule” is characterized by a melody that doesn’t move much, making it a song where you can follow the tune straightforwardly.
It seems that aiko herself has commented to that effect.
As you listen, the sections sung softly in head voice at the beginning gradually shift to an emotional chest voice toward the latter half.
In the first half, it might be good to relax and sing gently and lightly.
Also, the very end of this song features a long sustained note.
It’s the moment when the emotion is at its peak, so it’s a part I’d love for you to sing comfortably in chest voice.
The sustained vowel is “o.” Since “o” makes it easy to open the throat and pronounce, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as you take a good breath and prepare before you start singing.
Send the breath flying far into the distance!
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
This signature song by Yo Hitoto is known as a beautiful ballad that touches the heart.
Released in February 2004, it was used as the theme for NTV’s Tuesday Suspense Theater and in commercials, becoming a major hit.
Born out of a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the lyrics carry prayers for peace and wishes for the happiness of loved ones.
With its relaxed tempo, singable range, and poignant words, it’s also a karaoke favorite.
Its emotional expressiveness makes it a song that anyone can enjoy and feel close to.
Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
Noriko Sakai, the idol singer affectionately known as Nori-P.
Despite past scandals, her cute songs are still loved by people of her generation.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Aoi Usagi (Blue Rabbit).
This song spans a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A to high C, but since the highest note is only a high C, the high phrases aren’t particularly hard to sing.
Considering when it was released, it’s likely to be sung by those who’ve gained some years since then, so you may find that even the lower phrases, including the lowest notes, are easier to produce than you might expect.
