chimeraPolkadot Stingray
Polkadot Stingray is a rock band that’s gained popularity for its catchy musicality.
Their rock sound, which puts pop sensibilities front and center, is highly addictive and a big hit at karaoke.
Among their songs, one I especially recommend is Chimera.
This track features a great deal of falsetto—most of it, from the first verse through the chorus, is sung in falsetto.
You don’t need to sing it with a lot of power, but because you’re in falsetto the whole time, it can even give you a headache, so it’s fair to say the song demands stamina.
Six Trillion Years and an Overnight Storykemu
Released in December 2012, this song is a classic, notoriously difficult Vocaloid track! It has a Japanese-style vibe with a very relaxed intro, but the tempo suddenly speeds up and the lyrics become extremely dense.
You’ll need to be mindful of stamina, lung capacity, and quickness, but it’s highly recommended if you love fast songs! The key to singing the rapid-fire sections is not to try to articulate every single consonant, but to clearly pronounce the vowel sounds that carry the accents.
That will help you lock into the rhythm and sing more lightly.
With fast-tempo songs, above all, you have to memorize the lyrics; otherwise, when you sing it at karaoke, you’ll end up just chasing the words and sounding vague.
I recommend first being able to hum the melody, then adding the lyrics afterward!
I don’t care what happens anymore.Hoshimachi Suisei
One of my students once practiced “Stellar Stellar,” but this time, “Mou Dounatte mo Ii ya” has a completely different vibe—it’s a cool-style anime song.
Listening through the whole track, it has an overall sense of speed with lots of fast lyrics, so keeping the rhythm is very important.
Since it’s such a fast song and the pitch goes up to D5, the key is to avoid straining your voice.
It might help to sing with a relaxed approach, using a strong head voice.
Cabo da RocaDAZBEE
Songs with dramatic pitch jumps are difficult, but pieces with relatively constant pitch also present their own challenges.
On top of that, when there are fewer lyrics, there are more long tones, which means there are no moments where you can hide anything while singing.
‘Cabo da Roca,’ performed by the Korean singer DAZBEE, is a work of that type.
It isn’t intense, but because you have to keep both a whispery voice and falsetto stable at a high level, it can be said to demand solid fundamental vocal skills.
LOVE NEVER DIESMISIA
Released in May 2025, this track features a cool, signature MISIA sound.
It’s a song I personally want to learn, too! With a brass band backing, it really pumps you up and makes your body move on its own! Everyone admires MISIA’s vocal ability, but the key point isn’t just that she belts powerfully—it’s that she resonates her whole body like an instrument when she sings.
This point is important for any vocal technique, but MISIA is famous for her incredibly wide range, right? Being able to do that connects directly to this resonance and breath control!
chantAdo
Ado’s 18th digital-only single, released in September 2023.
It’s a collaboration track with Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event “Halloween Horror Nights,” serving as the theme song for the dance show “Zombie de Dance,” and has been used since the 2023 edition of the event.
The song is crafted into an EDM number with a strikingly oriental and exotic mood.
Ado is well known for her powerful vocals, and this track showcases the full appeal of her voice.
That said, if you listen closely, you’ll notice she isn’t just belting—she skillfully switches among a variety of vocal tones depending on the song’s sections and phrases, which is wonderful.
Be sure to study the original thoroughly before you try singing it.
If you master it, you’re sure to capture everyone’s attention!
that bandcable tie
This is a download-only single performed by Kessoku Band, which appears within the 2022 TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” I love Kessoku Band’s rock songs too and often sing “Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet,” but “That Band” is really tough—the tempo is fast and the rhythm is very distinctive! I recommend listening closely to the track before trying to sing it.
The timing to cut off words in the verse, the timing to hold notes in the chorus—once the melody starts there’s no place to rest, so rather than memorizing the whole song at once, I think it’s easier to understand and organize in your head if you learn it bit by bit, melody by melody.
Also, for the high notes like D5 and C5 in the last chorus, don’t pull the sound back—project your voice forward firmly! It’s like throwing with a burst of power.
Keep that in mind when you sing.
