HELLOMasaharu Fukuyama

Masaharu Fukuyama – HELLO (Full ver.)
HELLO Masaharu Fukuyama

This was Masaharu Fukuyama’s 10th single, released in February 1995.

It was also the theme song for Fuji TV’s Wednesday Drama “The Best Unrequited Love.” Released during the heyday of 1990s J-pop, it became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.

J-pop at the time was often composed with karaoke in mind, and this song is no exception—it’s very easy to sing and features a melody and tempo that make performing it fun.

Don’t overthink it; just enjoy “singing” and “using your voice.” I’m sure it’ll put you in a great mood!

FlowerORANGE RANGE

This is ORANGE RANGE’s 8th single, released in October 2004.

Since the song structure, including the chorus melody, is relatively flat and simple, the key point when singing it will be how well you can perform the non-chorus parts—sung in a rap style—without losing the rhythm or groove.

It might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident in their sense of rhythm, but once you memorize the lyrics, you should be fine.

Try singing it while being careful not to fall behind the slightly bouncy rhythm.

SquallMasaharu Fukuyama

Squall (Sukōru) – Masaharu Fukuyama [with lyrics]
Squall by Masaharu Fukuyama

For men, Masaharu Fukuyama’s songs are generally easy to sing.

“Squall” is a ballad packed with the best of Fukuyama’s appeal.

The rhythm is relaxed, so be careful not to get carried away and rush ahead by over-singing.

It’s an easy song to sing, and it’s even better if you can produce a sweet, gentle tone.

It’s a song worth practicing until you master it perfectly.

If you focus on the lift in the chorus, you can sing in a way that captivates your audience.

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Chronostasis”
Chronostasis BUMP OF CHICKEN

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 18th digital-download-only single, released on April 11, 2022.

BUMP OF CHICKEN’s vocalist, Motoo Fujiwara, has an exceptionally captivating singing voice, so many people might think at first listen, “This sounds hard to sing!” But there’s no need to worry.

The vocal melody is very simple, and the range used isn’t very wide, so even those who aren’t used to singing should be fine.

Just note that the rhythm arrangement of the backing track is a bit intricate, so be careful not to get thrown off by the rhythm.

I want to take only you away just like this.DEEN

DEEN - I want to steal you away just like this
I want to steal only you away just like this DEEN

Released in March 1993 as DEEN’s debut single.

It was also used in an NTT DoCoMo “Pocket Bell” commercial and became a million-selling hit right from their debut.

The mid-1990s, when this song came out, was truly the golden age of J-pop, and major labels were very conscious about releasing singles that would be widely sung at karaoke.

Even among those, this track is a top recommendation for being easy to sing.

The tempo and vocal melody are crafted to be very catchy and easy to hum along to.

If you’re worried the chorus’s highest notes might be tough, just lower the key at karaoke!

One of Takuro Yoshida’s signature songs, it was first released in 1971.

Various versions have been included on albums since then, and it was also remade and released as a single in 1989.

While the arrangements differ across versions, the song’s melody itself is a straightforward Showa-era folk tune.

There’s none of the intricate, elaborate melodic writing you find in modern songs, so even people who don’t usually sing much should find it easy to pick up.

Try singing it in a relaxed, easygoing way.

back number - “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” Music Video (Theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love”)
HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

This is a song by back number, a band that has released numerous love songs and resonates with many young people.

Aside from a portion of the chorus, the vocal range should be manageable even for men who struggle with high notes.

Plus, since it’s a slow-tempo ballad, you can carefully check each rhythm and pitch as you sing, making it highly recommended!
