[Karaoke] A Roundup of Easy-to-Sing King Gnu Songs (1–10)
poofKing Gnu
King Gnu, as a mixture rock band, incorporates a variety of genres, and among their songs are some harder tracks.
One of these is Doron.
King Gnu’s songs are generally difficult to begin with, so compared to typical tracks they’re already quite challenging, but this one has a pretty rough tone, which means it can still work even if sung a bit crudely.
When singing it at karaoke, it might be a good idea to raise the mic gain to add some distortion in order to effectively capture that rough feel.
SlumberlandKing Gnu
King Gnu’s masterpiece “Slumberland” brilliantly raises questions about society.
It has a similar vibe to the song that first made them widely known, “”, and within King Gnu’s catalog it’s relatively easy to sing.
The reason is the abundance of chorus parts in the hook.
About half of the chorus section is made up of backing vocals, and since karaoke tracks include those chorus parts, you can still create impact even if you can’t crank up the intensity during the hook.
Prayer XKing Gnu
This song portrays the transience and pain of life.
Released in 2018, it was also used as the ending theme for the anime BANANA FISH.
It powerfully reflects profound questions and a sense of despair, skillfully expressing the emotions of people today.
True to King Gnu’s style, it incorporates a wide range of genres, featuring a distinctive sound that fuses jazz, rock, and classical elements.
It’s a recommended track for those struggling with life or engaged in self-exploration.
It’s a work that resonates deeply with listeners.
The melody is catchy and easy to sing, so give it a try!

single-minded; wholehearted; devoted; earnestKing Gnu
Since King Gnu has many songs with twin vocals, I think they’re often suitable for duets.
Among their twin-vocal tracks, Ichizu is one I especially recommend.
While Satoru Iguchi’s high notes may be challenging, Daiki Tsuneta sings the same vocal line as well, so you can cover each other on the difficult parts.
Also, because the band’s performance is extremely intense, it’s a song where the vocals can be more easily masked by the loudness of the track.
You are a mirage.King Gnu
King Gnu’s iconic track “Anata wa Shinkirou” stands out for its electronic textures.
It features a decadent vocal line and lyrics, with heavily processed vocals.
The most singable aspect of the piece is that the vocal line stays in the low to mid range.
The high parts of the chorus are generally handled by backing vocals, so you don’t need to belt to sing it.
However, the key changes in the chorus can be a bit tricky, so it’s worth practicing repeatedly to get comfortable with the modulation.
Raw LoveKing Gnu
Srv.
Vinci, the band that later became King Gnu—pronounced “Server Vinci.” Since the production was handled by Mr.
Tsuneta just like with King Gnu, I’ll introduce this work as a special case under King Gnu.
This piece features a lot of key changes, so many people may feel it’s hard to sing.
It’s certainly far more challenging than typical J-pop, but the vocals don’t start immediately after each modulation.
There are a few beats of rest before the singing begins, which should make it easier to handle.
Flash!!!King Gnu
This is a track that captivates with its energetic sound and innovative lyrics.
It’s a song where the diverse musicality of King Gnu’s members comes together, primarily rooted in rock while weaving in elements of jazz and electronica.
Released in July 2018 as a digital-only single, it was featured in NTT Docomo’s “5G” commercial, which greatly boosted the band’s recognition.
The lyrics, repeatedly evoking images of flashes and explosions, seem to express the strength of living fully in the present moment.
While the song exudes an overwhelming presence in live performances and may feel a bit challenging with its rapid-fire delivery, the vocal range isn’t particularly high—so listen closely and give it a try!
