foreignerSaki Kubota
Saki Kubota’s biggest hit song, “Ihoujin.” Chances are, everyone has sung this piece at least once.
Because the vocal range is fairly wide, many people may feel it’s difficult, but the truth is the vocal line is quite simple.
If the height makes it hard to sing, adjust the key so you can use chest voice—not mixed voice—for the high phrases in the A section and the chorus.
Doing so will also make it much easier to keep your pitch in check.
SWEET MEMORIESSeiko Matsuda
Seiko Matsuda’s hit number, “SWEET MEMORIES.” Haven’t most people sung it at karaoke at least once? This song has a relaxed tempo, making it easy to follow the pitch.
On the other hand, there’s a slightly high long note near the end of the chorus, so proper key adjustment is necessary.
If you set the key based on this long-note section, you won’t run into vocal range issues in any part of the song, so keep that in mind.
CHA CHA CHAAkemi Ishii
Akemi Ishii’s biggest hit, “CHA CHA CHA.” Although it’s often thought to be an original, this song is actually a Japanese-language cover of a track by the Italian music group Finzi-Contini.
Its hallmark is a musical style that distills a somewhat Latin-tinged sound into Italo disco.
Because it’s based on Western pop, you might feel the rhythm is tricky, but the elements of the cha-cha-cha dance genre aren’t very pronounced; as long as you follow the bass line, you should be able to catch the rhythm in the B section without issue.
The chorus uses a standard Italo disco rhythm, so that shouldn’t pose any problems either.
The vocal range is narrow and there are hardly any long sustained notes, so you can definitely aim for a high score.
Sky RestaurantHi-Fi set
Hi-Fi Set was a chorus group that remained active for 20 years starting in 1974.
For a music group of that era, they were quite cutting-edge, producing numerous classics by wielding a style of New Music infused with modern jazz.
Their hit song “Sky Restaurant” is one of those numbers.
Although the high notes stand out a bit, the overall range isn’t particularly wide, so it’s perfectly singable if you find the right key.
Since the song doesn’t require powerful vocals, we recommend adjusting the key so you can sing it with a slightly whispery mixed voice.
Lonely Tropical FishWink
WINK, a duo representing 1980s synth-pop.
Their vocals have a pleasantly laid-back quality, and that relaxed vibe earned them a passionate following among certain listeners.
Their song “Lonely Tropical Fish” is their biggest hit.
Because it features high-note phrases, it’s often misunderstood as being difficult to score well at karaoke.
In reality, there aren’t large melodic leaps within each section.
The high parts and mid-range parts are clearly separated, so if you can use mixed voice or falsetto, you shouldn’t have trouble staying on pitch.
Mr. SummertimeCircus
Circus’s signature song, “Mr.
Summertime.” Because this work is a Japanese-language cover of a song by a French artist, it has a distinctive groove not typically found in Japanese pop.
That said, it’s not a complex, Black music-style groove; the overall arrangement is tailored for Japanese audiences, so the difficulty level is quite low.
While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, the vocal lines have enough breathing room that you can prepare well for the gradually rising sections.
City Hunter ~Don't Let Love Disappear~Kahoru Kohiruimaki
Kahoru Kohiruimaki is a female singer renowned for her low-register vocals.
She was an active and popular singer throughout the 1980s and 1990s, known for her stylish, smooth musicality that matched the era.
“City Hunter ~Ai yo Kienaide~” is one of her hit songs.
It’s arranged as a house-influenced pop track, which was quietly gaining popularity at the time, and it stays within a moderate vocal range.
While it carries a slight flavor of Black music, it doesn’t employ techniques like vocal runs or hiccups, so the overall difficulty is relatively low.
