PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is the second single by Official HIGE DANDism, released in 2019.
It was written as the theme song for the film The Confidence Man JP: Episode of the Romance and has become widely recognized as a signature song for the band.
The lyrics portray the sorrow of an unrequited love, realistically expressing the pain of a relationship that cannot come true despite deep affection for the other person.
The protagonist’s yearning for a different meeting under different circumstances—and the struggle to accept the reality that it won’t happen—really hits home.
The beautiful piano melody and dramatic sound further amplify those emotions.
It’s the perfect song for anyone who’s experienced heartbreak in love or wants to sing with real feeling.
Belt it out at karaoke and it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
As a personSUPER BEAVER
This is a SUPER BEAVER song whose unadorned words cut to the core of human nature and stir the heart.
While acknowledging the darker sides of people—lies, betrayal, and secrets—it still sings of wanting to believe and to keep on loving.
The track was included on the album “27,” released in June 2016.
It was used as the opening theme for the drama “Sono ‘Okodawari’, Watashi ni mo Kure yo!!” starring Mayu Matsuoka, and in 2021 it was also selected for Asahi Beer’s “Asahi Super Dry” commercial.
A powerful ballad that incorporates the band’s first use of strings, it’s a song you’ll want to hear when you’re struggling with relationships or frustrated by your own weakness.
Even if people call you a fool, it will give a push to those who still want to live with style.
MONSTER DANCEKEYTALK
This is a song by the Tokyo-based rock band KEYTALK.
It was released in 2014 as their third single.
It’s an incredibly uplifting, high-energy track.
Highly recommended especially for men who like four-on-the-floor dance rock.
Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
How about lifting your spirits with a lively tune? This is a signature song by the popular rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, released in May 2015 as their 10th single.
Chosen as the ending theme for the anime Blood Blockade Battlefront, it became a hot topic and marked the band’s first entry into the top five of the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
The funky rhythm, sharp guitar and bass, and Saito’s soaring vocals are simply irresistible! At first glance the song feels poppy and cheerful, but its lyrics portray both the sweetness and bitterness of life.
It’s a wonderful track that blows away everyday frustration and helps you face forward.
Be sure to feel the sound with your whole body!
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
AKASAKI’s hit song “Bunny Girl,” which went viral nationwide.
The vocal range in this track is from mid1 C to mid2 G, which is quite narrow for recent Japanese pop.
There’s a key change in the final chorus, but even so, the overall pitch movement is minimal, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
The vocal line also has gentle rises and falls, so it’s recommended for people who want to get the crowd going even if they’re not very confident in their singing.
If you want to sound more polished, try incorporating overtone techniques to add richness to the low–mid range.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.
As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.
However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.
While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.
RPGSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.
Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.
Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.
If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.
