Alps Vibes@onefive

@onefive “Alps Vibes” Official Music Video

This is a boldly arranged take on the children’s song “Alps Ichiman-jaku”! I’d be happy if there are teens who know the original or the hand game—do you all know it? The A and B sections have no nursery-rhyme elements at all, but from the chorus the hand-clap rhythm of “Alps Ichiman-jaku” is woven in, so watch out for the shift in tempo and vibe! Keep the off-beats in mind and sing with a good groove—that’s the key! The range isn’t too low or too high, so it should be easy to sing without straining your voice.

Since the rhythm and feel change between the chorus’s nursery-rhyme part and the original sections, it might help to learn them almost as separate songs: for the nursery-rhyme part, be energetic and articulate your words clearly; for the original parts, keep the rhythm light and let it flow like natural speech.

To you who didn’t choose meKoresawa

Koresawa “To You Who Didn’t Choose Me” [Music Video]

It’s an energetic, fast-paced band sound.

It’s a breakup song, but it’s not heavy—lyrics that teenage girls can relate to! It’s the kind of track that friends listening along can relate to as well.

The overall range is G#3 to D#5, so it’s comfortably singable.

Singing with a teary tone like Koresawa can capture the vibe, but it might make you sound nasal and harder to sing, so it’s best to use the voice that feels most natural for you.

From the A melody to the B melody, there isn’t much pitch movement and the rhythm is relatively simple, making it approachable even for beginners.

At the start, use a bit more breath and release your voice gently to keep it stable.

Also, the key point for the high notes is switching from chest voice to head voice.

Maintain steady breath support so you can transition smoothly.

Try singing lightly so your throat doesn’t tense up!

Campus mode!!Hatsuboshi Academy

Hatsuboshi Academy “Campus mode!!” Lyric Video (HATSUBOSHI GAKUEN – Campus mode!!) Short Size

“Campus mode!!” is a full-group song from Hatsuboshi Academy, a sparkling cheer anthem with “youth” as its theme! The lyrics and tempo are super energetic, making it perfect for teenage girls! Since multiple people sing the track, it might be tricky to perform solo, but if you have friends who like Hatsuboshi Academy, splitting parts and singing together would definitely be a blast! The tempo is a bit fast, and for the A and B sections, try singing as if you’re having an excited conversation—you’ll naturally get a bright tone.

For the chorus, crank the energy even higher and project your voice as if you’re reaching far; it’ll carry better, feel more idol-like, and be even more fun to sing! For the fast lines, it’s fine to enunciate each word clearly.

The earnestness will become a charm of the performance, so try singing as if you’ve become an idol yourself!

Dragon NightSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI – Dragon Night

My impression used to be that they had many sentimental songs and tracks with social satire, but since their global expansion in 2013, they’ve shifted toward more pop-oriented songs loved by various generations.

“Dragon Night,” which they released in 2014, is an upbeat song that uses EDM in the chorus.

In the music video, the party vibe of dancing at a nighttime circus venue will raise the excitement even more.

If you go to karaoke with a big group, this song is guaranteed to get everyone pumped!

nishina – Hot Milk (Official Video)

Warm yet tinged with a certain loneliness, “Hot Milk” sung by Nishina has been chosen as the theme song for episode 1 of ABEMA’s original series “I Want to Fall in Love Like a Love Drama in New York.” Nishina, who rose to popularity from her YouTube uploads, captivates the hearts of younger listeners with a voice that is gentle yet delicate.

It makes you want to drink hot milk—and on cold days, it’s the perfect song to listen to.

Winter is full of events, so why not give it a try at karaoke?

1 Minute 1 Second / Mosawo [Music Video]

This song by singer-songwriter Mosawo expresses the feeling of cherishing those close to you.

With a relaxed, beat-forward sound layered with a gentle vocal, it conveys a warmth like the bond with someone important.

As the title suggests, it portrays the importance of the time spent with a loved one and the wish to treasure every moment, even every single second.

If you perform it at karaoke, we recommend picturing the person you want to cherish and singing with your feelings clearly embedded in the words.

bow knotAimer

Aimer “Chouchou Musubi” (produced and written by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS)

A romantic ballad that likens love to a butterfly knot.

Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS provided and produced the song.

A butterfly knot is just a simple act, but this piece is striking in how it breaks that act down and narrates each step with careful, delicate words.

The subtle melody and sound, along with the gentle vocals of Aimer and Noda, infuse the entire song with warmth.

It’s a soft piece that seems to gently embrace every emotion found in love.
