Songs that make it easy to practice vibrato / Recommended songs for those who want to practice
Do you ever think, “If only I could master vibrato, my singing would sound so much better…”? Vibrato—the technique of gently oscillating the voice—is an essential expressive tool that adds depth and emotion to a song.
However, not every song is suitable for practice.
In fact, songs that make it easier to produce vibrato share certain traits, and the right song choice can significantly speed up your progress.
In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of songs with plenty of long tones that make applying vibrato easier, as well as numbers that are ideal for practice in terms of vocal range.

Recommended Songs for Those Who Find Vibrato Easy or Want to Practice (31–40)
budKobukuro
This is a song by Kobukuro written as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Tokyo Tower: Okan to Boku to, Tokidoki, Oton,” released in March 2007 as their 14th single.
It’s a gentle piece that makes you feel calm just by listening.
What further enhances the song’s inherent ‘kindness’ is the duo’s singing, masterfully employing vibrato technique.
Centered around the long sustained notes at the ends of phrases, they deliver vocals with beautiful, rich vibrato.
That said, the vibrato in this track isn’t particularly difficult, thanks to the slow tempo and the frequent use of long tones.
I think it’s an ideal song for practicing and studying vibrato technique, so I encourage readers to try it at karaoke and show off your lovely vibrato.
I’m such a foolKiryū Kazuma (Kuroda Takaya)
The video game series Yakuza has been popular across many generations.
While Baka Mitai isn’t exactly the theme song, it’s become extremely popular among fans because characters sing it at karaoke in the games.
The track itself is a mellow, Showa-style ballad.
Takaya Kuroda, the voice actor who plays Kazuma Kiryu, is also an excellent singer with a mature vocal tone, so I think he’s a great reference for men who can’t do vibrato.
For bbysLANA
LANA is a songstress who represents the Reiwa era.
She’s a leading female singer in the R&B scene, occupying a position similar to Miliyah Kato’s back in the day, and she enjoys overwhelming support from gals nationwide.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “For bbys.” Because the vibrato isn’t the typical style common in Japanese music, it’s a bit more challenging than songs that make it easy to practice standard vibrato.
However, for those who want to work on Black music–style vibrato, it couldn’t be a more ideal practice track.
Deep downAimer
A track included on Aimer’s mini-album “deep down,” which was released in December 2022.
It serves as an ending theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man.
Focusing on the vibrato technique, which is the theme of this article, Aimer’s singing employs both amplitude (volume) vibrato and pitch vibrato with great skill, which, in my view, enhances the reproduction of the slightly shadowy, lonely, and dark atmosphere of this song.
In a sense, it’s a model example of vibrato singing.
Please use it as a reference.
365 daysMr.Children
It’s a track from Mr.Children’s 16th original album, SENSE, which was released in December 2010.
It was also used in commercials for NTT East and NTT West.
The song itself is a slow ballad, with a vocal melody built around long sustained notes, making it easy to add vibrato when singing it at karaoke, and I feel it’s also an ideal piece for beginners to practice.
For the long sustained notes, it’s fine to apply a slow, gentle vibrato to the pitch as a general rule, but for the parts of the chorus sung in falsetto, try to avoid vibrato and aim for straight, sustained tones.
Recommended Songs for Those Who Find It Easy to Use Vibrato or Want to Practice (41–50)
Anytime Anywheremilet
This is a digital-only single by milet, released in September 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
The song is a medium-tempo track that makes extensive use of long tones in the vocal melody, and it especially showcases milet’s very appealing vibrato in sections sung in falsetto, such as the chorus.
I think it’s one of the best songs to use as a reference for vibrato on long falsetto notes, so be sure to listen closely to the original and try singing it yourself.
MelissaPorunogurafiti
This is PornoGraffitti’s 12th single, known as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
Perhaps because it’s an up-tempo rock song, you rarely hear fine, detailed vibrato in the vocals, but the way the pitch is made to fall during long notes in the vocal melody—especially at the ends of phrases—is very distinctive.
It’s very straightforward to understand, so I think it’s one of the best songs for beginners to practice continuously changing pitch within a long tone.
While lowering the pitch, it’s important to keep the vocal delivery strong to the end without weakening.
