Released in January 2024, “Bansanka” topped the Billboard Japan chart, with tuki.

achieving a remarkable feat at the astonishingly young age of 15.

Her mature vocal quality, diverse expressive range, and outstanding songwriting skills are truly impressive, and there are surely many people of her generation who admire her and practice her songs at karaoke.

While tuki.

’s songs can seem challenging, her “Expiration Date of Love,” released in September 2024, is relatively easier to sing and recommended for those aiming for high scores at karaoke.

The melody sits on the higher side, but the overall range is somewhat narrow, so if you adjust the key to suit your voice, even those with lower voices should be able to take it on.

Since there’s a key change in the final chorus, be careful not to go off pitch.

SketchAimyon

AIMYON – Sketch [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon’s new song “Sketch.” Until a little while ago, she was releasing many slightly showy tracks that incorporated trendy J-pop, but lately she’s returned to her roots and has been focusing on folk.

This work is no exception, crafted into a gentle folk song that plays to her greatest strengths.

The vocal range is somewhat wide, but aside from a few phrases that use falsetto, it stays mostly in the midrange, making it very easy to sing overall.

It’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a music duo that captures the hearts of young people with a wide musical range, from ennui-tinged tracks to pop songs.

Any woman in her twenties probably knows them, don’t you think? Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Hebi (Snake).

This piece is among the narrower vocal-range works in Yorushika’s catalog, with a vocal line that remains relatively even throughout.

There are also few long sustained notes and a fair number of rests, making it possible to aim for high scores even if your fundamental singing ability isn’t very strong.

Pink PunchNo Murasaki

Noashi (noa) – Pink Punch [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noyuri, who’s energizing the scene with her unique musical style.

She always puts out distinctive tracks, and her new song “Pink Punch” is no exception—it’s a pop-rock piece brimming with originality.

While the production leans somewhat loud, the vocal range is fairly narrow, and the vocal line is kept simple with a wistful mood that evokes Showa-era kayōkyoku.

It’s definitely a song that makes it easy to aim for a high score.

First Love KillerNo Murasaki

Noashi (noa) – First Love Killer [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noashi, who has gained popularity with her offbeat melodies and lyrics that resonate strongly with women.

She’s known for her genreless musical style, releasing songs with a different vibe from her previous work each time.

Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t it be “Hatsukoi Killer” (First Love Killer)? While the song carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, its fresh production keeps it from sounding outdated.

The vocals incorporate some rap, and because the range is very narrow, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

It also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

I want to be lovedYumcha

Yumcha “Aisaretai” [Lyric Video]

Singer-songwriter Yumcha, whose lyrics about the hearts of women have made her popular among women in their teens and twenties.

Because she has many pop songs, many people mistakenly assume there are lots of high-pitched parts.

That’s why we recommend this track, “Aisaretai.” Compared to her other songs, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range, centered in the mid-to-high register.

As long as you choose an appropriate key, you shouldn’t have any concerns about vocal production.

In addition, the vocal line rises and falls much more gently than in typical pop songs, making it easy to sing in that respect as well.

On nights when cherry blossoms fallAimyon

Aimyon – On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

While inheriting the sound that could be called the golden age of Heisei-era J-POP, Aimyon continues to release songs with a timeless, universal appeal.

“Sakura ga Furu Yoru wa” was released in 2021 as the theme song for “Koi to Ookami ni wa Damasarenai,” and it’s a masterpiece brimming with Aimyon’s signature style—comforting yet somehow bittersweet, with melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply.

Overall, although the pitch sits relatively high, the range is narrow and the melodic leaps are modest, so those with lower voices should be able to sing it well by adjusting the key.

For the chorus’s falsetto lines, try to project from your diaphragm to avoid your voice breaking.
