DrunkPamiredo

Pamiredo (パミレド) – Drunk

If you want to make your low register sound alluring with a stylish, sexy track, I recommend “Drunk.” It’s a song by the enigmatic singer-songwriter Pamiredo, featuring an irresistibly sultry melody right from the intro.

The vocal line stays in the low to low-mid range throughout, and even the climactic sections remain quiet and low, which will bring out the best in a man with a deep voice.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Mr.Children 「HANABI」 MUSIC VIDEO

One of Mr.

Children’s signature songs, in which poignant yet beautiful scenes unfold in your heart.

It’s a masterful ballad that sets the inner conflicts of everyday life, self-questioning, an undying sense of hope, and deep feelings for someone precious to a delicate yet powerful melody.

Released in September 2008 as their 33rd single, it was widely loved as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama “Code Blue: Doctor Heli Kinkyū Kyūmei” and topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks.

With its mid-tempo ballad style that makes it easy to sing with emotion, if you practice and perform it naturally, it’s sure to resonate deeply with listeners and showcase a new side of you!

Official HIGE DANDism – Subtitle [Official Video]

This song gives the impression of a moving, listenable ballad.

To sing it with a beautiful, breathy tone like vocalist Fujiwara’s, lung capacity, diaphragmatic breathing, and bodily awareness are all important.

You might think, “There’s so much to keep in mind…,” but don’t worry! First, when you sing, make sure to really listen to the backing drums.

If you sing in sync with the drum accents, it becomes easier to keep the rhythm and to hit the high notes.

By the way, even my female students struggled with this song, saying, “It’s so high!”—I think the key is how you produce the sound.

If you sing with the image of resonating in the back of your head, the overall feel becomes softer, bringing you closer to Fujiwara’s gentle tone.

There are also soaring long tones, so try finding the placement where you can produce them comfortably and sing from there.

To the most important personTunnels

To the most important person

The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.

Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.

Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.

This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
