innocent feelingLET ME KNOW
LET ME KNOW is a band gaining popularity for their sophisticated musicality.
Characterized by a nostalgic sound that embraces genres that were trendy in the 1980s, their refined style is drawing attention not only in Japan but also in South Korea.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Hatsu na feeling.” It features a sound that blends disco and synth-pop.
While it’s a smooth piece, it doesn’t rely heavily on long sustained notes, and the vocal range is fairly standard, making pitch control relatively easy.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Yo Hitoto
This is Yo Hitoto’s fifth single, released in 2004.
It’s a beautiful ballad with a strikingly wistful and pristine melody.
As one of her signature and biggest hit songs, it peaked at No.
4 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, achieved a million downloads as a chaku-uta (ringtone), and earned double platinum for the CD.
The flowing melody at a relaxed tempo makes it easy to express emotion, so I think it’s a song that can make you sound good when singing it at karaoke.
Since the composition gradually raises the key from low notes toward the chorus, the trick is to know your own key and choose the right starting pitch.
ColorfulSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is a girls’ band that continues to draw popularity with their catchy musical style.
Their bright tunes always energize the scene.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Colorful.
While it stands out for its brightness, it’s not a song with an especially wide vocal range.
On top of that, the pitch movement is relatively gentle, so if you can hold pitch normally, aiming for a high score at karaoke isn’t just a dream.
Be sure to check it out.
BirdmanZUKA-RADERU
Zaqroderu, a three-piece rock band that’s been gaining momentum again lately.
They’ve been active since 2015, but after releasing an album in 2024, they’ve once more started drawing attention in the Japanese rock scene.
Their new song “Birdman” reflects this resurgence.
It has a slightly punky feel, with a lively, chaotic vibe running throughout.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making it especially easy for male singers.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
KanadeSukima Switch
This is the second single released by Sukima Switch in 2004.
The song’s title was apparently taken from a name that member Takuya Ohashi would like to give his future child—such a heartwarming story.
It’s a popular track that was used as an insert song in films, a TV drama theme, and a commercial jingle.
A deeply moving ballad, it’s likely a go-to choice for many people at karaoke.
It’s also one of the group’s most covered songs by numerous artists.
Gasolinebewitching goldfish
In recent years, Japan’s R&B scene has been heavily infused with pop elements, and groove tends to be overlooked.
In short, there’s a trend toward a decline in authentic R&B.
In the midst of this, there’s a duo that continues to embody real R&B: the alluring Kingyo.
Gasoline is their new track, positioned right between hip-hop and R&B.
It’s a song with a solid groove, but with restrained vocal runs and complex rap flows, so anyone reasonably familiar with R&B should be able to sing it without much difficulty.
hydrangeaDivorce Legend
Since this song was used as the theme for TBS’s Tuesday drama “Taigan no Kaji – This Is My Way of Life!,” I think many of you will find it familiar.
With Rikon Densetsu, harmonies tend to come in right at the key moments, and that selective use feels very band-like.
Most of the harmonizing happens on word endings, often as a lower harmony, giving the vocals a gentle feel.
In the last chorus, they go all-out with octave-unison lines and harmonies, which really brings the song’s atmosphere across.
The range isn’t too wide either, so it should be an easy challenge even for those who aren’t used to harmonizing.
