UVERworld, who soared from Kusatsu City in Shiga Prefecture to the world, continue to lead the music scene with TAKUYA∞’s soul-stirring vocals and the one-of-a-kind sound woven by its six members.

Their original style, which effortlessly navigates diverse genres such as rock, pop, and hip-hop, along with live productions that feature unique concepts like the “Men’s Festival” and “Women’s Festival,” has captured the hearts of many music fans.

Here are some of their most popular songs, radiating overwhelming presence.

It was included on the single “GO-ON,” released in 2009.

It was used as the ending theme for Season 2 of the Japanese TV drama “Dr.

HOUSE (Season 1).” The song is written from a female perspective.

AWAYOKUBA – SlashUVERworld

Included on the 7th album THE ONE, AWAYOKUBA-Kiru is a dramatic number whose live performances open with strings.

The tapping guitar phrases and the passionate saxophone sound at the start, together with the driving beat, really raise the excitement.

Although it’s not easy—the song starts in a high key and the chorus features repeated long phrases sung in a single breath—the melody itself is simple, making it relatively singable.

The vocal range isn’t extremely wide, so if you set the key to suit your voice, you can enjoy singing this emotional rock tune comfortably.

Underworld – Born Slippy (Nuxx) (Creative Commission version)

Born Slippy is a cover of a song by Underworld, known as a globally acclaimed techno unit.

It’s included on their eighth album, Ø CHOIR, and while it preserves the original’s airy feel, the UVERworld-style arrangement is striking.

With a low key, a narrow vocal range, and little dynamic variation, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t very confident singers.

However, since it’s a cover of a Western song and the lyrics are entirely in English, be sure to memorize them well before performing it in front of others at karaoke.

A track released in 2019 by the Japanese rock band UVERworld.

The prominently featured synthesizer tones are striking, and the track’s departure from a conventional rock sound is truly impressive.

At the same time, the lyrics and the message of the song are solid, so it’s a piece you’ll want to listen to repeatedly—discovering various tricks and ideas throughout the entire track.

Eye’s SentryUVERworld

Set to a powerful rock sound, TAKUYA∞’s emotionally charged vocals resonate throughout “Eye’s Sentry.” While it sings that you don’t have to stay with someone who won’t accept your true self, it also emphasizes the importance of changing for the sake of someone you love—an inspiring message that many listeners are sure to appreciate.

The track was released as the opening theme for the anime Blue Exorcist: The Pacific Chimera Chapter.

It’s a song full of UVERworld’s signature speed and energy, celebrating the beauty of living true to yourself!

Released as a double A-side with “To EDEN” and chosen as the theme song for the Japanese-dubbed version of the film Venom, the 33rd single “GOOD and EVIL” features a dramatic arrangement and lyrics that convey determination, likely resonating with the film’s worldview.

The melody is complex and the key is high, so it’s not easy, but since the rhythm is simple and the overall range isn’t wide, set the key to suit your voice and sing.

With its aggressive ensemble that’s sure to energize any karaoke session, this is a powerful rock tune.

NAMELYUVERworld

This is UVERworld’s 38th single, released on June 2, 2021.

It was selected as the ending theme for the second cour of the TV Tokyo anime The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon’s Judgement.

TAKUYA∞, UVERworld’s vocalist, has a wonderful high-tone voice, but what makes him truly outstanding is that the appeal of his singing is by no means limited to his high range.

In this song as well, his expressive singing in the so-called “plain” sections outside the chorus makes excellent use of the mid-to-low range, and the skillful switch from chest voice in those parts to head voice in the chorus lends the track a highly dramatic feel.

It may be difficult to sing if you simply have a “high voice,” but it’s a song I’d love to see all high-tenor men take on as a challenge.
