Naniwa Danshi – Join us! [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

One of the tracks included on the sixth single “I Wish,” “Join us!” Despite being a B-side, it has enjoyed exceptional popularity, even receiving a music video.

It features the refreshing, bright melodies that are a hallmark of Naniwa Danshi.

The vocal range is mid1 E to mid2 G#, which is fairly narrow for a Naniwa Danshi song, so it should be easy for men to sing.

However, the chorus contains prolonged mid-to-high phrases, so be sure to choose a key that doesn’t strain your throat or temples.

The digital release date is July 7, 2025, but it was pre-released on TikTok in March and quickly became a hot topic, surpassing one million views! The tempo isn’t too slow or too fast, making it very easy to sing and approachable for anyone.

The vocal range is around mid1 to mid2, and the high notes that appear in parts are in falsetto, so I think you can sing them comfortably.

Overall, it has a calm tone, but it modulates in the last chorus, raising the key by about two steps.

You might find it easier to stay on pitch if you sing that section with a bit more energy.

One thing to watch out for is not to pull the notes up with your throat.

Since we want a natural modulation, try singing by resonating in your head while placing a slight forward attack on the sound.

That way, the high notes will come out smoothly and feel great!

SEKAI NO OWARI “Encyclopedia”

SEKAI NO OWARI often gives the impression of having many high-pitched songs, but the July 2025 release “Zukan” doesn’t feature belted high notes and has little range fluctuation, so it seems very scoring-friendly—you might even aim for a perfect 100.

The melody is also easy to remember since it’s structured with just verse A, verse B, and the chorus, without a new section like a bridge.

Overall, the vocal range, rhythm, and melody are clearly organized, so you don’t need any special techniques and can sing it at a relaxed pace.

To aim for 100 points, the first priority is matching pitch.

Try singing lightly with the image of lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows and sending the voice forward from just above the eyebrows.

Vocalist Fukase also tends to keep his eyebrows raised, so use that as a reference!

Yuma “Jingle” Official Music Video

Yuma, who is active as the “good singer” of the YouTuber group Comdot, has a track called Jingle that my students often sang when their throats weren’t in great shape because it’s “easy to sing,” so I think it’s in a range that’s easy for others too.

Jingle’s vocal range is B2 to D#4, staying mostly in the low to mid range.

Of course, it builds from verse A to verse B to the chorus, but unlike other songs, the range doesn’t change much, so it might be easier to keep pitch.

It’s a perfect song for winter, so start practicing it now!

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is a band with overwhelming support from young people.

Rather than being characterized by highly original musicality, their hallmark is an approachable sound that prioritizes catchiness, and they’ve released many hit songs to date.

However, despite their catchiness, Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs tend to be extremely difficult to perform.

That’s why we recommend Bitter Vacation.

With a range of mid1 C# to hi A, it’s on the narrower side for a Mrs.

GREEN APPLE song, so you shouldn’t struggle too much in terms of vocal production.

That said, the overall key is on the higher side, so transposing is essential.

As for crowd-pleasing impact, it’s outstanding—definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Yuri’s high-energy “Rinne Tensei” has an awesome band-driven vibe that makes your body move on its own! Since the intro sits in the low-to-mid range, it should be relatively easy for low-voiced male singers to handle.

However, the tempo is on the faster side, so if you try singing before memorizing the lyrics, you might fall behind—better to listen closely and get it in your ears first.

The range rises in the latter half, but if you keep your body grooving and project with momentum, your voice will follow.

Don’t be afraid—have fun with it!

Yūki Chiba – Team Tomodachi (Official Music Video)

I think today’s middle school students are closer to hip-hop than any generation before them.

Among them, many middle school heads are probably listening to trap music, which leads the times.

What I recommend is Team Tomodachi.

This track is a hit number by Yuki Chiba, aka KOHH, that gained worldwide popularity.

It’s laid back in trap style, so the flow is very simple.

Even those not used to rapping should have no problem performing it.
