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!

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.
