Deeper DeeperONE OK ROCK
The 2013 release “Deeper Deeper.” The vocal range in this piece is mid2B to hiB, so the range itself isn’t particularly wide.
However, the overall pitch is very high, so male singers should take caution.
Additionally, the highest note, hiB, appears more than 40 times in total, requiring strong vocal stamina.
Fortunately, there are hardly any sustained high notes, so focus on cleanly executing each individual high-pitched phrase.
A full moon that only blooms at nightONE OK ROCK
The first major-label masterpiece, Zeitakubyou.
This track, “A Full Moon That Only Blooms at Night,” is included on that classic.
Being an early work, the album has a very strong Japanese rock flavor, and among its songs, this one is exceptionally easy to sing.
The vocal range is narrow at mid1 G# to hi C#, and the pitch movement isn’t too drastic.
However, since there tend to be few natural break points, make sure to plan your breathing spots in advance.
Other than that, there aren’t any particularly difficult sections, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
Takuya Ohashi’s gentle yet powerful vocals blend beautifully with the fresh sound of the acoustic guitar.
Centered on themes of growth and challenge, the song tenderly reminds us of the importance of not forgetting the pure feelings in our hearts, even as we become adults.
Released in April 2004 as the fifth single, it became beloved across generations as an NTT DoCoMo commercial song.
It was also included on the album “Kuusou Clip,” released the same year, and achieved steady sales.
With its relaxed tempo and a melody carried by stable pitch, it seeps into the heart alongside fond memories.
As a refreshing classic that anyone can enjoy, it will continue to linger in the hearts of many.
Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is Ken Hirai’s 20th single, released in April 2004.
It was written specifically as the theme song for Toho’s film “Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World,” and it was reportedly Hirai’s first time providing a theme song for a movie.
The song became a major hit, achieving million-selling status with total shipments exceeding one million copies.
Ken Hirai is a singer with exceptionally high vocal skill and expressive power, and he delivers a stunning performance in this track as well.
Yet the song itself is built on a very simple, gentle melody, making it a recommended choice for anyone to sing at karaoke.
When you sing it, try placing the sound against your upper palate inside your mouth; this helps reproduce a voice rich in high-order overtones like his.
As mentioned, it’s a very tender ballad, so take care to keep your tone and breathing smooth and controlled while you sing.
First loveHata Motohiro
It’s Motohiro Hata’s 14th single, released in January 2013.
It was also selected as the official image song for the Fukuoka exhibition of “100 Years Since the ‘Discovery’ of Machu Picchu: Inca Empire Exhibition.” It’s a beautiful ballad.
Because Hata’s voice is a bit high and it’s a ballad, I think quite a few people who aren’t confident singers may feel hesitant to try this song.
However, the actual melodic range isn’t that wide, so as long as you choose the right key, many people should be able to sing it without much trouble.
Rather than aiming for a perfectly clean falsetto or mixed voice, I feel that even if it’s a bit of a push, belting it out in chest voice might make it a performance that “really reaches the listener.”
True LoveFujii Fumiya
This was Fumiya Fujii’s second single as a solo artist, released on November 10, 1993.
It’s said to be the first song he composed himself, and it’s crafted into a gentle ballad with a very pleasant acoustic sound.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Asunaro Hakusho,” and became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.
The vocal melody is very easy to hum along to, so I think it’s a song anyone can sing comfortably if you pick it casually for karaoke.
Try to focus on producing a resonant, rich tone and sing it gently all the way through.
Summer-colored FireworksSnow Man
“Natsuiro Hanabi” is sung alternately by the nine members of Snow Man, with little overlapping, so it’s very easy to sing solo.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that lets you breathe comfortably and keep your voice relaxed.
It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to sing at a calm, comfortable tempo.
The vocal range mainly sits around mid1 to mid2, so even if high notes aren’t your strength, you can sing it with confidence.
Ballads can be hard to add dynamics to, and some people might end up singing them a bit flat.
In such cases, adding clear accents at slightly higher notes or at the beginnings of phrases will help create contrast.
In this song, the C melody is the biggest highlight, so try singing with the image of projecting your voice far out, and enjoy it!
