BiSH / Nothing.[OFFICIAL VIDEO]

The song “Nothing.” included on BiSH’s only mini-album “GiANT KiLLERS.” Its high-energy arrangement that kicks off with the chorus gives you a push, together with lyrics that say, “even while struggling, keep moving forward.” Overall, the key is on the higher side, but since the range is narrow and the melody is simple, it should be easy to sing if you set it to a key that suits you.

However, be careful with the falsetto parts that appear here and there, as they can easily go off pitch.

The song “Kaze no Hi,” included on their first album “DON’T TRUST ANYONE BUT US,” is an enduring rock tune that drew attention again in 2023—21 years after its release—when it was featured in Lion’s NONIO commercial.

Although an English lyric appears right before the final chorus, most of the lyrics are in Japanese, and with a simple melody and a not-so-wide vocal range, it’s packed with elements that make it easy to sing at karaoke—highly recommended.

Its relatable, positive lyrics and robust sound will lift your spirits; it’s a number that simply feels great to sing.

Let me introduce “A Critical Hit,” a heart-stirring cheer song.

It tells the story of a protagonist who, after facing hardships and difficulties, musters the courage to keep challenging themselves again and again.

Along the way, it also portrays the systems of human society—which can be called cruel at times.

Because that depiction feels so real, people of all ages will likely relate.

From a karaoke perspective, many parts keep a steady pitch, making it easy to sing.

It’s also a great pick if you’re looking for a song that stays upbeat from start to finish.
