Figure

A masterpiece whose refined and calm musicality evokes the night, “Sugata.” In terms of genre, it’s an orthodox J-pop piece, and the vocal line is crafted simply to suit the Japanese vocal range.

While the melody is generally steady with few dramatic shifts, a slightly higher falsetto appears in the chorus, so take care there.

Singing higher is fine, but if the key is set too low, producing the falsetto becomes unnecessarily difficult.

Be sure to determine the appropriate key and sing accordingly.

bleachingAimyon

Aimyon Bleach full version

Aimyong’s classic “Bleach” features an impressive acoustic melody.

It begins with a verse in the low or lower-mid range, then gradually raises the intensity, so the overall vocal range is somewhat broad.

A wide range can feel challenging, but that doesn’t mean everything is difficult.

Since the highest parts sit within the upper-mid range—borderline high at most—once you identify the right key for you, it’s actually easy to sing.

If anything, the song spans more of the low range, making it especially recommended for women with lower voices.

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

When it comes to character songs sung by Chu-tan, a character from HoneyWorks’ wildly popular creator unit project “Confession Executive Committee,” many people might think of “Kawaikute Gomen,” which exploded in popularity and became a meme.

But “Sukicchu no!” is also a beloved track by Chu-tan.

Like “Kawaikute Gomen,” it’s performed by voice actress Saori Hayami, and while it’s a cute pop song, its lyrics weave in the serious side of the social media era, offering a deeper exploration of Chu-tan’s character—something that leaves a strong impression.

The irresistibly catchy chorus is perfect for social media and guaranteed to hype up a karaoke session, and the melody line is very singable.

Still, be sure to sing it while empathizing with the protagonist’s feelings.

Released in November 2018, this gem of a love song gained attention as the theme for the TBS Friday drama “A Lover to Remember.” It delicately portrays the precious memories with a partner and the small joys of everyday life that begin with an unexpected encounter, and even conveys the sense of loss that follows—resulting in a track filled with profound affection.
