Seeds of Delight

This song was first unveiled as a secret track on the venue-limited mini-album “Introduction” on July 5, 2014, and later officially included on July 8, 2025, in the 10th anniversary best album “10,” making it a once-lost track! The melody line is gentle and sung with clear enunciation, so even beginners should find it easy to match the pitch bar.

For the verses (A-melody to B-melody), speak carefully and make sure your voice is firmly carried by the mic.

Also, the chorus kicks in around the 3-minute mark, and the overall energy ramps up significantly.

There should be ample opportunities to breathe between phrases, so take a solid breath for each phrase and use that air to project your voice as you exhale.

If you tense up, you’ll end up chest-breathing instead of using your diaphragm, which can make it uncomfortable—so stay calm and breathe steadily!

Fujifabricred-yellow fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans)

Fujifabric – Red-Yellow Osmanthus

This is the third single by Fujifabric, released in 2004.

The song’s overall vocal range is A#3 to G#4, so it should be very comfortable for those who struggle with high notes.

With a tempo of 153, it’s easy to ride the rhythm and stay aware of the pitch bar.

The A and B sections focus on lower notes, so if you overuse your throat, you’ll end up singing the higher notes in the chorus with a throaty sound, making it harder to stay on pitch.

When singing, aim for a singing voice rather than a speaking voice, and make sure the sound comes correctly from the vocal folds.

Lightly touch the dip between your collarbones and try producing sound from there.

If the spot you’re touching vibrates slightly, that’s a sign you’re using your voice correctly.

Sing with the image of projecting the sound forward from that point.

For low notes, place the sound right in front of you; for high notes, aim farther away and use a quick, explosive release.

In all cases, produce the sound from your vocal folds.

EXILE / Road

It’s a classic EXILE ballad! I’ve actually sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was shocked at how low they are.

Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s range is very much tailored to male voices.

Michi, with its relaxed tempo, sits around B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge feels a bit high.

That said, for karaoke scoring, singing in falsetto will almost always match pitch more accurately, so choose whichever approach you prefer! Key points: sing carefully overall to keep your pitch aligned, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.

If you focus on these three, a perfect 100 is definitely within reach! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressive delivery tends to add points, so give it a try!

Yuzu “Story” Music Video

I looked it up because I thought, “This sounds really familiar,” and it turned out to be the CM song for Toyota’s Ractis! It’s a single released in 2008.

Since it’s a Yuzu song, the range is higher than the average male vocal range, so if you’re good at high notes, it’s easy to sing and a good candidate to aim for a perfect 100.

The chorus has many sustained endings, so make sure to take a breath for each phrase and pay close attention to the pitch bar.

I always told a student who loved Yuzu and sang them all the time, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It can be tough until you get used to it, but once your pitch dips even for a moment, it’s hard to correct.

Of course, it’s fine to switch to falsetto—just make sure you can place the pitch solidly around the brow area.

The most important factor in scoring is pitch, so focus on maintaining it!

KobukuroO flowers now in full bloom,

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom

This is a song that was used as the theme for NHK’s Sochi Olympics in 2014.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

Although it’s a song by Kobukuro, “Ima, Saki Hokoru Hanatachi yo” has a very clear vocal melody, making it easy to sing even solo.

As for how to feel the rhythm, taking it slowly and relaxed works well, but doubling the tempo also makes it easier to sing and is recommended.

The overall vocal range of the song is C3 to F#4, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably in chest voice.

Also, since it’s a ballad, creating contrast between the lower parts of the verses (A and B sections) and the lift in the chorus will enhance expressiveness and help boost your score.

Try to keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop while you sing!

Kenshi Yonezu – Plazma

As the theme song for ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-‘, it’s a track where the synthetic machine-like sounds really stand out! Kenshi Yonezu handled everything himself—lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, and even the artwork—making it one of his most dedicated works of 2025.

The vocal range is C3 to C5, which I think is a comfortable height for men to sing mainly in chest voice without strain.

There are falsetto parts here and there, but they’re used in those signature “this is the moment!” spots typical of Yonezu, so make sure to align precisely with the pitch bar.

For the fast sections, avoid mumbling and pronounce the vowels clearly.

Also be careful not to over-enunciate.

Approach it like a tongue twister: articulate the initial consonants cleanly and focus on locking in with the rhythm.

SEKAI NO OWARI “Encyclopedia”

SEKAI NO OWARI often gives the impression of having many high-pitched songs, but the July 2025 release “Zukan” doesn’t feature belted high notes and has little range fluctuation, so it seems very scoring-friendly—you might even aim for a perfect 100.

The melody is also easy to remember since it’s structured with just verse A, verse B, and the chorus, without a new section like a bridge.

Overall, the vocal range, rhythm, and melody are clearly organized, so you don’t need any special techniques and can sing it at a relaxed pace.

To aim for 100 points, the first priority is matching pitch.

Try singing lightly with the image of lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows and sending the voice forward from just above the eyebrows.

Vocalist Fukase also tends to keep his eyebrows raised, so use that as a reference!
