PLAYERSYOASOBI
This song was created to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, with a theme centered around gaming.
Listening to it, you can really feel that distinctive YOASOBI style.
The chorus sits around E5, so the range is quite high, but there are constant call-and-response shouts in the backing vocals, which makes it nice because you can catch your breath while singing! That chorus is super cute and makes you want to dance, so it seems like it would hype up a live show too! When you sing it, enunciate clearly so the phrases don’t blur together—doing so will make it easier to hear and easier to sing.
Pay attention to your diction!

ifKana Nishino
“If” has a melody that conveys a poignant feeling right from the intro—it’s such a beautiful song.
It’s the piece my student practiced the most, and it holds special memories because they said, “I want to sing with a beautiful voice like Kana-yan’s!” and overcame their struggle with falsetto.
The highest note in this song is D#5, which is of course high, but I think the improvised falsetto lines at the beginning and end can be tough if you’re not used to them, since they’re sung with various articulations.
Those ad-lib sections sound so beautiful, so it’s worth nailing them.
With themes like “fateful encounters” and “hopes for the future,” I’d love for you to sing it to someone important to you.
IS THIS LOVEXG
XG, whose all-Japanese lineup recently made history as the first to close out a stage at the world-renowned Coachella 2025, continue to prove their cross-genre “X-POP” with songs built entirely on English lyrics since their debut, showcasing exceptional rap, vocal, and dance skills across the board.
The track we’re highlighting, “IS THIS LOVE,” is included on their mini-album AWE released in November 2024; it was later released as a single with an accompanying music video.
It’s a standout song with a mellow yet cool beat that lets you fully savor their vocal prowess.
The melodious rap and the soaring beauty of the chorus are especially noteworthy, but to be honest, the fact that the lyrics are all in English makes it quite a high bar for karaoke.
The catchy chorus might not be too difficult if you stick to the main melody, but if you want to recreate XG’s signature harmonies and backing vocals, try singing with multiple people and divide the parts according to each person’s strengths.
I want to tell you how I feel (my love)Aimyon
It’s a simple song, but it’s one that truly shines because of Aimyon’s vocal ability, and it’s one of my favorites too! I always feel that Aimyon’s charm lies in the world she creates with her lyrics and in the beautifully balanced blend of her low and high notes.
In particular, this song has a wide vocal range—from F#3 in the verses and before the chorus to E5 in the chorus—so the pitch differences are extreme, and you’ll want to be careful not to go flat when singing.
The rhythm and breath placement are also quite challenging, but it feels amazing when you can sing it well! I recommend singing it with lots of energy and groove!
Rising HopeLiSA
Speaking of LiSA, it’s all about anisongs! She also has an image of singing mostly high-pitched songs, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is probably one that many people feel is “so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it, too.
Of course the high notes are challenging, but the tempo is also very fast at 190.
On top of that, there are lots of rap-like and intricate parts, so you want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, for the ends of phrases in the chorus, if you slightly lengthen them and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are lots of high notes in succession, but try to keep the sound resonating in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
tuki.Dinner Song
A much-talked-about 15-year-old, a third-year junior high school female singer, tuki.
, released this song in December 2023.
I must admit my own ignorance; I listened to tuki.
’s voice for the first time while writing this piece, and I was astonished by how mature and exceptional her vocals and singing are—hard to believe she’s a 15-year-old middle schooler! When you sing this song at karaoke, try to maintain a gentle, soothing tone throughout, while clearly expressing contrasts in dynamics within that warmth.
Even in the more powerful sections, be careful not to let your delivery become rough or coarse.
Watch me!YOASOBI
It’s such a lively, cheerful song, and ikura’s voice is super cute! It’s fun to listen to, but with a range of G3 to F5, it’s really tough to sing.
While some parts have very clear, easy-to-follow rhythm, there are also Vocaloid-like melodic lines that are very YOASOBI.
Especially in the A verse and the chorus, since they sit high, you’ll want to make the attack on the opening words crisp and clear.
To keep your voice steady, try engaging your glutes as you sing.
The B verse has fast melodies, so I recommend memorizing the lyrics before singing.
It’s an adorable song, so don’t go expressionless—keep your facial muscles lifted the whole time! And sing with a smile to keep your pitch from dropping.
