DearMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE「Dear」Official Music Video

Released in June 2024, this song was chosen as the theme for the film “Dear Family.” Its lyrics are filled with love for family, trust, and kindness, making it a theme song that ties in very strongly with the story.

With a tempo of 124, it’s relatively easy to breathe and ride the rhythm.

In the A and B sections, let your breath flow as if you’re speaking.

Start each phrase with a slightly accented, firm attack, but let the endings trail off lightly with an airy feel.

Sing the chorus grandly, and give the end of the chorus a light, bouncing touch.

Also, in the melody after the second chorus, the first syllable is “na,” which tends to sit in the nose, so project more clearly and firmly than you think.

That way you won’t get stuck, and your voice will come out comfortably and easily.

It’s a song over five minutes long, so take your time and sing each part with care!

slowAKASAKI

toloi

The digital release date is July 7, 2025, but it was pre-released on TikTok in March and quickly became a hot topic, surpassing one million views! The tempo isn’t too slow or too fast, making it very easy to sing and approachable for anyone.

The vocal range is around mid1 to mid2, and the high notes that appear in parts are in falsetto, so I think you can sing them comfortably.

Overall, it has a calm tone, but it modulates in the last chorus, raising the key by about two steps.

You might find it easier to stay on pitch if you sing that section with a bit more energy.

One thing to watch out for is not to pull the notes up with your throat.

Since we want a natural modulation, try singing by resonating in your head while placing a slight forward attack on the sound.

That way, the high notes will come out smoothly and feel great!

[imase] Mr. Moonlight (Music Video)

This is the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” released on July 11, 2025.

It has a bit of a brisk tempo, so be sure to remember to take breaths between phrases.

Taking breaths will also help you lock into the rhythm of the song! In the chorus, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto, so aim to sing without straining.

When you lift your facial muscles, your eyebrows will probably lift on their own—how about you? That expression is actually important: with a blank face, you’ll never hit the right pitch, and it becomes harder to produce high notes or falsetto.

Raising your facial muscles also makes switching between chest and falsetto much easier, so try singing with the image of lifting your facial muscles and resonating from the top of your head!

budKobukuro

Kobukuro – Tsubomi

Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” is also quite a masterpiece, so it’s a song I’d love for you to sing whether solo or as a duo.

Since Kobukuro are a duo, the vocal range is fairly wide at A#2–A#4, and Kuroda’s part is quite low, so if you’re singing with two people, taking Kuroda’s part might be a good idea! By the way, when I sang this song I had a male partner; I left all the main melody to him and stuck to the harmony! The harmonies in this song are beautiful, so if you have a partner, definitely try tackling the harmonies too! Overall, try singing it with a calm vibe so it doesn’t become too forceful.

Aimyon – Harunohi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

In “Harunohi,” the A and B sections sit in a lower range, and the chorus jumps up into the higher register.

The highest note is C#5, but the melody is very clear, so it should be relatively easy to sing in tune.

Also, adding dynamics within the song will boost your score, so try to build excitement from A section → B section → chorus.

Stability is important for karaoke scoring, too, so focus on fundamentals: sustain your long tones to match the pitch bar, come in cleanly on the opening notes, and keep your intonation solid.

If you keep these basics in mind, you can aim for 100 points—give it a try!

By contrasting the innocence of childhood with the complex emotions of adulthood, it tells a universal story of growth and pain.

While confronting unanswerable questions, the song portrays an attitude of overcoming failure and growing, making it a track that gives a push to those standing at a crossroads in life.

When singing it at karaoke, infusing your performance with memories and emotion will make it resonate even more.
