Artificial flowers laughACIDMAN
ACIDMAN’s major-label debut song “Zōka ga Warau” (“Artificial Flowers Laugh”).
Released at the exceptional price of 300 yen, it became a nationwide hit thanks to its buzz and solid musicality.
If you’re a man who likes bands from the late 30s era, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
The singable point of this track is its simple vocal line that you can deliver roughly without any problem.
Because the chorus feels like it’s about to surge but never quite does, the overall range is surprisingly narrow.
There’s no vibrato or operatic-style shouts either, so simply singing with a rough, raspy tone like in the original will be more than enough to make it work.
monologueHata Motohiro × Matayoshi Naoki
Since his debut in the mid-2000s, Motohiro Hata has been active as one of the leading singer-songwriters in the Japanese music scene.
He’s known for his innate singing voice—often described as a “voice made of steel and glass”—marked by a slightly husky quality and delicate high tones.
He has many fans among fellow musicians, and there are surely people who practice karaoke every day aspiring to his voice.
The song we’re introducing today, Hitorigoto, is a distinctive collaboration between Hata and Naoki Matayoshi.
Matayoshi wrote the lyrics and also performs a spoken reading at the beginning of the track.
Overall, it’s an acoustic, singer-songwriter piece tinged with melancholy.
To be honest, a song like this does demand a high level of expressive ability, but because it’s built on a simple melodic line, it will sound good if you focus on delivering Matayoshi’s literary lyrics as if you’re speaking to the listener.
If possible, try to recreate it including the spoken introduction!
pure whiteFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, his music is striking for its foundation in Black music genres like R&B, soul, and neo-soul, but this work is characterized by a dream pop-like finish.
The vocal range is on the narrower side for his songs, which alone makes it quite easy to sing, but the most distinctive feature is the vocal line.
In this track, the vocal line moves very gently in pitch, and the groove isn’t heavily emphasized either.
Among his songs, it’s one of the easiest to sing, both rhythmically and in terms of the vocal line.
HAPPYSaitō Kazuyoshi
Kazuyoshi Saito is a renowned singer-songwriter with a career spanning over 30 years, admired by many fellow musicians for his unique, uncompromising stance that resists trends.
A devoted Loudness fan and former metalhead in his youth, Saito possesses a broad musical range that defies categorization, excelling in rock, pop, and ballads alike.
His subtly awkward, deeply expressive vocals and lyrics are also irresistibly appealing.
Released in April 2025, Saito’s “HAPPY” is an anthemic track propelled by rough-edged guitar sounds, written as the theme song for the TV program “Saturday LIVE News Zigzag.” It’s a song you’ll definitely want to try at karaoke: its wistfully moving melody is sure to resonate across generations.
The rapid-fire vocal line that appears in the chorus takes a bit of practice, but once you get used to it, it isn’t difficult—so sing it repeatedly until you can deliver it smoothly!
When the cherry blossoms bloomFujimaki Ryota
Ryota Fujimaki, known as the vocalist of Remioromen, is now also actively working as a solo artist and has produced several notable songs.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Sakura no Hana ga Saku Koro (When the Cherry Blossoms Bloom).
Perhaps because his musical style hasn’t changed, this piece has a classic J-pop finish.
The vocal range is about average, and since there are no sudden pitch jumps or advanced techniques required, it’s definitely a song where it’s easy to aim for a perfect score.
