27:00Brandy War Chronicles
Brandy War Chronicles is a band that sets itself apart from other girl bands with its stylish musicality.
While they fall under J-pop as a genre, some songs incorporate elements of Black music, giving them a very wide-ranging sound.
They have many great tracks, but 27:00 is especially recommended.
This song sits in a low vocal range, and the vocal lines don’t move widely in pitch.
Even so, it unfolds with high-level, sophisticated developments, making it a great pick for those who want to aim for a high score with a stylish track.
TomorrowFurui Riho
Singer-songwriter Furui Riho, who has gained popularity for her R&B-centered musical style.
When people hear R&B, many imagine it as difficult because advanced vocal techniques like melisma and falls appear frequently as if they were standard features.
That’s why I recommend Tomorrow.
This song has a very strong J-pop influence and doesn’t feature any tricky melismas at all.
On top of that, the vocal range is narrow, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
ALL I WANTYurina Hirate
Yurina Hirate’s new song “ALL I WANT.” Back in her Keyakizaka46 days, she had a notably cool image for an idol, and that impression has only been sharpened since she became a solo artist.
This work lets you savor that very charm.
It’s a stylish J-pop track with a touch of R&B, and overall it features a relatively even, understated vocal line.
There aren’t many long sustained notes, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocal skills should be able to aim for a high score.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
A happy promise.Lilia.
Riria is a female singer-songwriter of straightforward J-pop who enjoys overwhelming support from teenage and twenty-something women.
She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase na Yakusoku” (“A Happy Promise”).
Because it uses a lot of falsetto, it might seem difficult.
It’s true the falsetto appears quite frequently, but in this song the falsetto only reaches pitches that can also be sung in chest voice.
The overall vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it perfect for aiming for a high score.
After all, I'm an idolAKB48
AKB48 is a group that has been active for many years in Japan’s idol scene.
Since they’re still at the top of the scene today, there are probably many women who listen to their songs as well.
Among AKB48’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is NANTETTATTE IDOL.
This work is a cover of Kyoko Koizumi’s classic hit, featuring a flatter, more streamlined arrangement than the original.
As it’s an older song with a very simple vocal line, it’s a great choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
wa, wo, nNishina
Nishina is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity for her catchy musicality.
In her early days she mainly focused on orthodox J-pop, but recently—perhaps influenced by her connection with Fujii Kaze—her songwriting has taken on a more Western feel with a touch of R&B.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Waon.” It has a wide vocal range—but that’s primarily if you sing the chorus in falsetto.
The falsetto is quite high, so it’s perfectly fine to sing it an octave lower.
Overall, the pitch is easy to control in this song, so definitely aim for a high score.
Cosmic TreatPerfume
Perfume is a dance-vocal group that has remained at the forefront for many years.
Their new track, “Cosmic Treat,” is a playful number that starts with an intro reminiscent of 16-bit game sounds and unfolds into a city-pop-style tune.
The vocal line is very simple, with no sharp rises or drops in pitch and a relatively narrow range.
Since the long tones aren’t particularly long either, anyone who can hold their pitch accurately should be able to aim for a high score without much difficulty.
