Recommended Songs for Those Who Find It Easy to Use Vibrato or Want to Practice (41–50)
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.
Tears Flowing EndlesslyNatsukawa Rimi
This was Rimi Natsukawa’s third single, released on March 23, 2001.
Before performing under the name “Rimi Natsukawa,” she reportedly debuted as an enka singer under the name “Misato Hoshi,” and I felt that this song—especially her use of vibrato—subtly reveals traces of that enka background.
It’s a track where you can enjoy pitch-wavering vibrato in many of the long notes.
The chorus in particular is a treasure trove of skillful vibrato, making it an ideal practice piece for those who want to master vibrato singing.
It’s practically a model example of vibrato in a song!
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.
Becoming a Thousand WindsAkiyama Masashi
It was Masafumi Akikawa’s first single, released on May 24, 2006.
It’s a masterpiece where you can enjoy Akikawa’s resonant tenor voice.
Having rigorously studied classical vocal music, Akikawa delivers a performance with an impressively open throat and perfectly controlled vibrato—truly outstanding.
While it may be quite difficult for those without training in classical singing or formal voice lessons to replicate, this song is an ideal piece for practicing singing with a fully open throat and developing a well-controlled vibrato tailored to your expressive intent.
As mentioned, it’s a selection for advanced singers, but by all means, give it a try!
Bay City at DuskYagami Junko
Junko Yagami’s classic “Tasogare no BAY CITY.” In recent years, Japanese city pop has gained worldwide popularity, and this song is known as one of the genre’s defining tracks.
Its greatest appeal lies in its clear, soaring vocal lines.
Blending a sophisticated urban feel with Showa-era kayōkyoku, the piece features many long tones and numerous spots to add vibrato.
Beyond vibrato, it’s also excellent for simply improving your overall singing technique, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
lensIkuta Rira
This is the sixth digital single by Rira Ikuta, who is also active as ikura, the singer of the music duo YOASOBI, released in June 2022.
It’s a beautiful ballad that lets you fully enjoy Rira’s voice, rich with very pleasant high tones.
As expected, songs like this—built around relaxed, expansive phrases—are easier for the average person to produce vibrato on when singing at karaoke, for example.
The chorus makes this especially clear, but the rest of the song also offers a variety of vibrato techniques to enjoy.
Listen closely to the original and try to recreate it.
As long as I have youShimizu Shota ft. Oda Kazumasa
Shota Shimizu’s track featuring Kazumasa Oda, “Kimi Sae Ireba.” They grew closer through the Christmas music program “Christmas no Yakusoku” and decided to release a song together, and in this work Oda’s signature style bursts forth.
Surprisingly, however, the composer is actually Shota Shimizu.
The song is crafted in a J-pop style reminiscent of Off Course and Kazumasa Oda.
With many long tones and a relaxed rhythm, it’s perfect for practicing vibrato.
