[Karaoke] Easy-to-Sing King Gnu Songs (11–20)
ruptureKing Gnu
When you think of King Gnu, flashy and complex melodies are striking, but there are also songs with unconventional yet simple and gentle melodies reminiscent of Yura Yura Teikoku.
“Haretsu” is one such piece.
From the beginning through the middle, it maintains a quiet melody, then gradually raises the voltage partway through.
Even so, its calm and ennui-like impression remains unchanged.
While falsetto appears—bringing a certain difficulty—it doesn’t require vocal techniques like breath control or long sustained notes.
SorrowsKing Gnu
Among King Gnu’s works, the track “Sorrows” particularly emphasizes the bassline.
While King Gnu generally builds on a mixture style that incorporates various genres, this piece strongly showcases characteristics of alternative rock.
As a result, there are fewer complex vocal lines, making many parts comparatively easier to sing.
That said, it’s still a King Gnu song: the vocal lines are challenging in their simplicity, and there are many high-register phrases, so a certain amount of practice is necessary.
In particular, because the song features many long sustained notes, be sure to use diaphragmatic breathing so you can produce thick, sustained tones.
humorKing Gnu
King Gnu has released songs across a variety of genres.
While many of their tracks are powerful, they also have groovy, danceable numbers.
One of these is Humor.
As it’s a groove-focused piece, the vocal lines are relatively understated.
Correspondingly, there are fewer tricky vocal passages, making it one of the more singable songs in King Gnu’s catalog.
That said, the overall range sits in the mid-to-high register, so a certain level of vocal range is required.
on the stageKing Gnu
King Gnu’s vocals are primarily handled by Satoru Iguchi, but there are songs where Daiki Tsuneta takes the lead.
One of those is Danjo.
While many of their other tracks feature Iguchi as a co-lead in a twin-vocal setup, this song puts Tsuneta in the spotlight as the lead vocalist.
The melody is somewhat complex, but because the song’s structure is quite orthodox compared to their other works, it should be relatively easy to sing.
Be sure to check it out.
BedtownKing Gnu
If you want to sing King Gnu’s songs, you probably already have a decent level of vocal ability.
Among you, many might be confident in your high notes, right? For those people, I recommend Bedtown.
Since the song features a lot of low-range falsetto, it should be very singable for those who are good at falsetto.
If falsetto isn’t your strong suit, there are many parts that are intentionally sung in falsetto even though they’re within chest-voice range, so feel free to try singing those parts in chest voice instead.
OverflowKing Gnu
Here, I’d like to introduce a lesser-known song by King Gnu: “Overflow.” Although they often produce complex tracks, this one is unusually crafted as a straightforward alternative rock piece.
There are no key changes either, making it one of the easiest to sing among their works.
However, because the song emphasizes a sense of speed, you need to pay close attention to the flow.
It’s a good idea to memorize the phrases as if you were learning a rap.

broad daylightKing Gnu
With a heavy, low-end beat interwoven with shouts and rap, this track delivers a visceral sound that shakes you to your core.
Human frailty, regret over the past, and the resolve to move forward are depicted through vivid imagery, with deep emotions carefully expressed via a snow motif symbolizing innocence and purity.
Released in February 2019 as the theme song for Nippon TV’s Saturday drama “Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer,” the piece became a signature track from King Gnu’s major-label debut album, “Sympa.” It was also performed at the 70th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in December 2019, helping to lift the band’s profile nationwide.
As a song that faces past mistakes yet stands beside those who keep walking toward tomorrow, it has soothed the hearts of many listeners.
