YOASOBI 'Haruka' Official Music Video

YOASOBI is a unit popular for their pop electro sound paired with catchy lyrics.

The cute vocals are addictive, aren’t they? Because the vocalist, Lila Ikuta, has such a clear, translucent voice, many people might worry whether they can sing her songs.

It’s true that tracks like “Racing Into the Night” are difficult, but “Haruka” is different.

There’s only one falsetto part, and it isn’t very high, so even those who aren’t confident singers will find it easier to sing—it’s a friendship-themed song that’s quite approachable.

Kenshi Yonezu – Gray and Blue (+Masaki Suda)

The song Grey and Blue (+Masaki Suda) is a collaboration between Kenshi Yonezu, Japan’s most popular singer-songwriter, and Masaki Suda, one of the country’s leading young actors.

Because it brought together two top stars from their respective fields, the track attracted a great deal of attention when it was released.

While Kenshi Yonezu’s songs can be challenging in parts, this one features a relatively narrow vocal range and is easier to sing—perhaps because he’s performing with Masaki Suda, whose main profession isn’t singing.

My friend—now and forever…Ketsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “My Friend ~ From Here On Forever…”

For those who want to express their feelings to friends they hope to stay close with forever, we recommend singing “Tomo yo ~ Kono Saki mo Zutto.” It was released in 2016 by the four-member male music group Ketsumeishi and was used as the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! The Great Assault on the Dreaming World.

Its friendship-themed lyrics remind us of how precious our friends are.

Even if you’re not comfortable with songs that have wide pitch changes, you can sing it well by keeping a steady melody.

With its hip-hop-style flow, it’s especially recommended for those confident in their sense of rhythm!

E-girls, a female group that gained popularity in the 2010s.

If you like LDH artists, you’re surely familiar with them.

Their songs have strong elements of Black music, so some people might feel they’re a bit challenging.

However, in reality, their melodies are quite catchy, making them surprisingly easy to sing.

“Highschool love” is one of their particularly singable tracks.

Since it’s a mixed-voice song, don’t try to sing every verse—choose the parts that suit your range and sing comfortably.
