Atarayo – Liar (Music Video)

Atarayo, a four-piece band with the tagline “a band that feeds on sorrow,” presents a song told from a male perspective to accompany their hit single October: Forgetting Your Silent Self.

Its world will resonate not only with men but with women as well.

It’s a love song that laments the helplessness felt toward a lover whose heart is gradually drifting away, and vocalist Hitomi’s wistful, emotional voice is deeply moving.

There are parts that link with October: Forgetting Your Silent Self, so it’s a track you’ll want to sing carefully and deliberately while paying attention to those connections.

Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky

Since its release in 1994, this song has been one of Spitz’s signature tracks and is hugely popular at karaoke.

While it’s quite high for a male key, the original key actually suits many women better than you might expect.

The sections with wide pitch movement are challenging, but because the melody can be sung using do-re-mi without sharps or flats, it’s straightforward and easier for tone-deaf singers to grasp.

Best Friend – Kiroro (Full)

A number that moves listeners by combining lyrics filled with gratitude for someone who’s always watching over you with flowing piano and melody.

Released in 2001 as Kiroro’s 10th single, this song was reportedly written by vocalist Chiharu Tamashiro for her partner, Ayano Kinjo.

In karaoke, rather than focusing on singing perfectly, try delivering it as if you’re speaking the words carefully and from the heart.

With the comfortable accompaniment, aim to convey a simple, gentle feeling.

aiko - “Boyfriend” music video

This is Aiko’s sixth major-label single, released in September 2000.

The intro features a country-style arrangement with banjo that leaves quite an impression.

Basically, it’s a bright and fun song, so even those who aren’t confident singers should just enjoy it without worrying too much about the details.

That said, there are a few spots—like parts of the chorus melody—where the pitch can be a bit tricky, and there are moments where the melody leaps up and down quite dramatically, so be careful there.

Still, overall it’s an easy song to sing, so it might be a good choice as a practice piece for people who feel, “I want to get serious about improving my singing.” It actually includes a surprisingly wide range of vocal elements, so I think it’s also a great song to use as material for vocal training lessons!

Ringo Sheena and Nocchi – First KO Victory

Recently, singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena has been attracting attention through collaborations with many artists.

This track, “First KO Victory,” is a collaboration with Nocchi from Perfume.

As the song has a strong kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) flavor, it features rhythms and familiar melodies that resonate with Japanese listeners throughout.

Since it doesn’t require a lot of high notes, it’s recommended not only for those who struggle with pitch but also for women who find it hard to sing in a high register.

Since the song starts abruptly without an intro, make sure to articulate the opening words clearly and come in without hesitation! The overall vocal range of “Shujinkou” is D#3–G#4, so it should be easy to sing for lower-voiced women once you grasp the key points.

In the chorus, when you count the rhythm in 4/4, the accents fall on beats 1 and 3.

For example, while listening to the song, try clapping while saying “1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4.” Once you get used to it, try clapping more strongly on “1.” If the timing feels natural and easy to clap, that’s the accent.

That sensation is what you want—so when you sing, make sure to project your voice on those accented parts! Let’s use our bodies like this and have fun singing!

Hanako Oku’s “Kawaranai Mono” became popular as an insert song in the animated film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

The song has a relaxed tempo, making it one of the easier songs to sing even for people who are tone-deaf.

There aren’t many big jumps in pitch, so if you sing with confidence, it should sound good.

Some people might find the high notes a bit tough, but in that case, try lowering the key a little.
