HELLOMasaharu Fukuyama
One of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature songs, “HELLO.” This applies to any song, but for an up-tempo track like this, the groove matters more than pitch, so it’s recommended for people who aren’t confident singers.
Ride the rhythm, sing energetically, and prioritize the feel.
The town where you liveShota Shimizu
This is a classic heartbreak number by Shota Shimizu, an artist widely acclaimed for his overwhelming musical sensibility and distinctive sonic world, earning high praise overseas as well.
It’s a ballad that captures the bittersweet feeling of suddenly remembering someone you once loved dearly, and its slow tempo makes it easy to follow the music without rushing.
Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON
The classic song “Inbaku-to” has been loved for many years.
It’s a signature work by reggae deejay CHEHON, and when it was released, it became an explosive hit in Osaka, the holy land of Japanese reggae.
Nowadays, with CHEHON active in the MC battle scene, it’s also gaining support from younger generations.
Although the track has a pleasant flow, it doesn’t feature particularly difficult phrases.
The vocal range is very narrow, so most men should be able to sing it without trouble.
to youMONGOL800
They’re a rock band formed in Okinawa Prefecture in 1998.
This song is one of their signature tracks.
It’s an upbeat number, and the chorus repeats the same phrases, so the melody and tempo aren’t very difficult.
If you focus more on the rhythm than the pitch when you sing it, it’ll sound really cool.
SubaruShinji Tanimura
This song was released as a solo single by Shinji Tanimura in April 1980, when Alice was at the height of their popularity, and it became such a hit that many people know it not only in Japan but across other parts of Asia as well.
Because Tanimura’s vocal ability is so strong, some people may hesitate to sing it at karaoke, but the song itself is built on a very singable melody, so it shouldn’t take much effort to learn or perform.
Precisely because the melody is simple, it does call for a fair amount of expressiveness; however, as long as you pay attention to setting the key so that your voice doesn’t thin out in the high notes of the chorus and you can sing with enough power, you should be fine.
stepsGReeeeN
This song was released in 2009 as GReeeeN’s ninth single.
It was featured as the 2009 U-Can campaign song and became a big hit.
GReeeeN’s songs have a lot of words, so if you focus on clear pronunciation when you sing, you’ll be able to sing them well.
