When I turn around…Janne Da Arc
For those in their thirties, when it comes to spot-on visual kei rock bands, isn’t Janne Da Arc the first that comes to mind? They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “If You Look Back…”.
Among their tracks, this one is arranged with an especially gentle melody.
It features somewhat longer sustained notes, but doesn’t rely heavily on vibrato, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu
This was Ulfuls’ 10th single, released in February 1996.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Victory Goddess” and sold over 500,000 copies.
The vocal melody is straightforward, and the tempo is mid-range, making it a very easy song to sing.
Just like Tortoise Matsumoto, who sings it, belt it out and enjoy the act of singing itself.
Rather than overthinking how to sing it well, it’s best to perform it naturally without worrying about the details.
swallowtail butterflyPorunogurafiti
This is Porno Graffitti’s sixth single, released in June 2001.
It’s an appealing song with a slightly Latin-style rhythm and melody.
The melody is very simple and easy to remember, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine using it as a karaoke pick.
Many people may feel the original key is “too high!!,” so please be careful when choosing the key.
Other than that, as long as you can sing it without dragging behind the Latin-style side-to-side groove that characterizes this song, you should be good to go.
MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLEV6
V6, an idol group that was hugely popular from the 1990s to the early 2000s, produced many hit songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend to men in their 40s for its singability is “MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE.” Centered on eurobeat, which was the trend at the time, the track features sharp, memorable synthesizers.
In contrast to the sound, the vocal lines are quite restrained, staying within a narrow range throughout.
It’s packed with catchy phrases that anyone can sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Lovers AgainEXILE
EXILE’s 22nd single, released in January 2007.
When it comes to EXILE, their vocal ability is widely praised, and since this song is a slow ballad, many of you might be thinking, “I’m not good at singing—can I really pull this off?” Rest assured.
It’s true that the original key is high and might be a bit tough for the average male vocalist, but you’ll be fine if you adjust the key in karaoke.
The phrasing has a bit of a unique touch, so trying to replicate it perfectly can be tricky, but the melody itself is very straightforward and simple.
If you sing it plainly and cleanly—like holding the sustained notes steadily—even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to manage it.
Just be careful not to rush the rhythm.
PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s second single, released on May 15, 2019.
It was used as the theme song for the film “The Confidence Man JP: The Movie.” Satoshi Fujihara, the vocalist of Official HIGE DANDism, has a wonderfully rich voice with many beautiful higher overtones and is an exceptionally skilled singer.
So it’s understandable that many people might think, “Can I really sing something like this?” However, the melody of the song itself is very simple and easy to remember, and the tempo is a very singable mid-tempo.
So don’t be afraid—give it a try.
That said, if you sing it in the original key, the high notes may be challenging for many, so please be careful when setting the key!
Funa Funa Funassyifunasshī
This was Funassyi’s first single, released in November 2013.
The lyrics and composition are credited to Funassyi, but the arrangement and production were handled by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE, which explains the interesting, hard rock arrangement in a distinctly THE ALFEE style.
If you try to sing this song faithfully to the original, I think it requires quite a bit of vocal ability; however, given the song’s vibe, you can have a great time and really hype up the crowd just by belting it out without overthinking it.
So don’t worry if you’re not confident in your singing—everyone should enjoy it in their own way and just let your voice out! I won’t go so far as to say “let’s sing” (lol).
