Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
This is Tamio Okuda’s sixth single in total, released in June 1996.
It’s one of the great J-POP/J-ROCK tracks where Okuda’s distinctly “masculine” vocals and character are on full display.
The way the Hammond organ is used in the backing track is quite superb, too—it’s the kind of sound that just feels good to listen to, don’t you think? His slightly unadorned vocal delivery also captures his personality well, which is part of the song’s appeal.
Now, if you pick this song for karaoke and want to make it sound good, the vocal melody is very singable and easy to remember, so what becomes important is expressing a solid sense of rhythm and groove.
Try to sing with a strong awareness of the snare accents on beats 2 and 4, so the vocal rhythm doesn’t rush.
SUMMER TIME LOVEEXILE
This song is perfect for anyone who wants to dive headfirst into the summer vibe.
“SUMMER TIME LOVE” vividly captures the feeling of summer and a summer romance, with lyrics that express the desire to enjoy the season together with someone you love.
It’s an exceptional pick for summer karaoke.
The dynamic arrangement and the sweet, husky voices of EXILE weave a melody you’ll find yourself humming before you know it.
Even if EXILE’s songs seem difficult, this one has an easy-to-sing melody—so relax and sing it straight from the heart!
BUMP to youKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi, a four-member music group whose name comes from an herbal medicine used in China since ancient times.
Their 13th single, “Kimi ni BUMP,” is a lively track chosen for a Vodafone commercial.
Its funky guitar sound and repeating phrases over a passionate ensemble create an addictive feel, lifting your spirits whether you’re listening or singing along.
If you’re in your 30s, it’s a pop tune with catchy rap and melodies that you’ll want to try at karaoke.
SPEED STARAlpha

Since it’s mostly rap, even men in their 30s who struggle with pitch will find it easy to sing, and because the rap itself is fast, you can make it sound good as long as you firmly grasp the timing of the lyrics.
Flowers of EvilBUCK-TICK
BUCK-TICK is a legendary band that has left behind many masterpieces.
Even after the passing of Atsushi Sakurai, they continue to be loved by countless fans.
Their song “Aku no Hana” is their biggest hit.
It’s characterized by a musical style that blends gothic rock and alternative rock, and it became a nationwide success.
Throughout the piece, the vocal range is set relatively narrow.
There are instances of subtle vibrato, but you don’t necessarily have to match the original exactly—singing it more freely and expansively is also a great option.
