Hana-Yoi – Jewel (MV)

Noshi is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her genreless musicality that incorporates a wide range of music styles.

She always energizes the scene with unconventional tracks, and her new song “Pink Punch” has also drawn attention for its eccentricity.

It features a slightly funky track, while the vocal lines come together with a vibe reminiscent of rock and Chinese pop.

With almost no sustained long notes and no demanding vocal techniques required, it’s a very easy song to sing.

Things I like about youNishino Kana

Kana Nishino “The Things I Like About You” MV (Short Ver.)

Kana Nishino’s 28th single, “Anata no Suki na Tokoro” (“What I Like About You”), is a song inspired by love letters that are popular among girls overseas.

She sings like a counting song, listing many things she loves—the good points of the person she adores and the charming qualities that only she knows.

half-baked thoughtYukichi Kasaku/men

Yukichi Award-Winning/men – Half-Ripe Thoughts (Music Video)

Singer-songwriter Yukichi Kousaku/men, who has won popularity with a uniquely original musical style.

Characterized by a distinctive techno sound infused with ambient elements, she consistently releases striking tracks with a musicality unlike anything else.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Hanjukukou.

Throughout the piece, the vocal range is narrow and there are no long sustained notes.

What’s more, in the chorus the track takes precedence over the vocal line, making it easy to sing—you can even catch your breath during the hook.

I want to be your lover.Abe Mao

Mao Abe – I Want to Be Your Lover [Official Music Video]

This is singer-songwriter Mao Abe’s second single, “I Want to Be Your Girlfriend.” She wrote it when she was a senior in high school, while she had an unrequited crush.

The lyrics capture the thoughts anyone has during unrequited love, making it highly relatable.

It’s a down-to-earth love song—one you’ll want to sing regardless of age.

I’M YOUR IDOLtakane no nadeshiko

[MV] I'M YOUR IDOL / Takane no Nadeshiko [HoneyWorks]

Formed under the production of HoneyWorks, Takane no Nadeshiko is an idol group whose charm lies in a classic, traditional idol image—distinct from the contemporary K-pop-inspired idol aesthetic.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “I’M YOUR IDOL.” Unlike today’s scene, which is centered on Black music and K-pop, this track features a simple vocal line with relatively little dynamic fluctuation throughout.

The vocal range isn’t very wide either, making it a song that teenage girls should be able to sing without any trouble.

A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko

A Cruel Angel's Thesis – Yoko Takahashi (Full)

This is the anime song “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis,” which has been loved ever since its release in 1995.

It’s the opening theme of “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” and it’s so popular that even people who aren’t into anime can sing it.

Don’t brush it off as an old song—try belting it out and you’ll see it’s a timeless classic that transcends generations.

Specially, do it.＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 18th Single “Tokubechu, Shite” [MV full]

=LOVE, the idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.

Rather than the currently mainstream K-pop style, they specialize in classic, old-school idol songs.

Their new track is Tokubechu, Shite.

While it has a polished, poppy feel, its vocal range is surprisingly not that wide, and the melody line moves gently without big jumps in pitch, making it a song where you can realistically aim for a perfect score.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
