Lucky☆Star OP 'Motteke! Sailor Fuku' (with lyric subtitles)

This is the song used for the opening of the anime “Lucky☆Star.” In the opening sequence, the characters dance, and I remember learning that dance back then.

I can still do parts of it, so at karaoke I sing while dancing to liven things up.

Mr.Children “Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a memorable song I performed at our club’s farewell concert back in college.

The chorus lends itself well to call-and-response and makes it easy to get the crowd excited.

Although the song was released in 1995, Ayaka covered it in 2013, so it’s well-known among people in their twenties.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

The song “Sukicchu-no!” by HoneyWorks and Chu-tan.

Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” this one tones down the cutesy, coquettish elements and overall delivers a more traditionally girly vibe.

The vocal range is mid2B to hiC, which is slightly high for a typical female vocal piece, but since the song shines through breath work—like breaths and consonants—to enhance its charm, the overall difficulty is on the lower side.

It’s a track that’s sure to be a hit among girls or at mixers.

SAY KOU SHOWRobāto Akiyama

Robert Akiyama “SAY KOU SHOW” (official music video & making-of), directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa

Robert Akiyama’s masterpiece “SAY KOU SHOW.” It’s a relatively recent song, and with its lyrics packed full of dirty jokes, it seems to land better with people in their twenties and up than with teens.

Despite being a comic song, it features a groovy, smooth melody.

The vocal range is narrow and mostly sits in the lower to mid register, so most men can sing it in the original key without trouble.

It’s a song that’s more about expression than technique, so it’s best performed with exaggerated facial expressions in true Akiyama style.

Genesis of AquarionAKINO

Sousei no Aquarion (Cover)

This is the song used for the opening of the anime “Genesis of Aquarion.” The anime became so famous that it was turned into a pachinko game in 2007, so people of the same generation have probably heard it somewhere at least once.

Also, the chorus lyrics are easy to understand, which makes it really exciting.

only my railgun

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun.

Personally, I like the key change into the final chorus.

It gets even more exciting if you can choose the anime footage as the background.

It’s memorable that Shinji Maggy appears in the PV.

Band cover of Love Live! OP2 'Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki' by μ’s – Nagareda Project #lovelive #ラブライブ

It’s the opening song of Season 2 of the anime Love Live! It was performed at the 2015 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and I think it’s the most well-known song among μ’s tracks.

The key is high, so I sing it two steps lower, but it’s still such a hype song—famous and full of emotion among fans.
