absolute zeroNEW!Natori

Natori – Absolute Zero

Natori is a singer-songwriter whose vocals blend youthful innocence with sexiness, earning her widespread popularity.

She has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend as a high-difficulty track is Zettai Reido.

While Natori often favors a downer vocal style, this piece is crafted with a much louder sound, and the vocal lines are correspondingly raw and aggressive.

The range spans from mid1 A# to mid2 G#, which isn’t particularly wide, but with few break points and many rapid-fire phrases, it’s certainly a challenging song when it comes to nailing the pitch with precision.

Together forever!NEW!Tatsuya Kitani

Always together! / Tatsuya Kitani – ALWAYS BE WITH YOU XD / Tatsuya Kitani

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.

While he has many catchy songs, he also has some technically demanding ones.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Zuutto Issho! This piece requires a wide vocal range from mid1 A# to high A, with quite dramatic pitch movement up and down.

That alone makes it difficult, but it also has few breathing points and many rapid-fire phrases, so in addition to pitch control, strong lung capacity is needed.

It’s a song that demands comprehensive vocal ability, so definitely give it a try.

Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy

Run, SAKAMOTO / Vaundy: SAKAMOTO DAYS with Vaundy

“Run, SAKAMOTO,” which is drawing attention as the theme song for the popular anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, is a new track by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Vaundy, featuring a strong rock flavor.

Despite its intense sound, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high.

There is a key change to watch out for, but there aren’t any sections with drastic pitch jumps that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.

As a contemporary hit, it’s relatively easy to sing.

LazuliMONGOL800×WANIMA

MONGOL800 × WANIMA “Lazuli” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

The collaborative work “Lazuli” by MONGOL800 and WANIMA.

Since it’s a song by two bands that share many stylistic similarities, it drew attention in the Japanese rock scene when it was first released.

The melody of this piece is crafted to leave a distinctly refreshing impression.

Because of the bright melody and vocal lines, it may seem high, but in fact the song has a narrow vocal range, so anyone can sing it as long as they set the key properly.

It’s a song that appeals to both men and women, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Kento-san’s signature piece here, “Hai Yorokonde.” Although this work gained nationwide popularity, it actually features funk elements throughout.

In the funk genre, there’s a tendency to prioritize groove over the vocal line.

As a result, you won’t find long tones that fade out, and phrase endings are often cut off sharply.

True to form, this piece keeps each part succinct.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either—so long as you don’t sing the falsetto chorus in the hook—so it’s likely easier to sing than you might imagine.

Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster's Flower Song)NEW!Vaundy

Monster’s Flower Song / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

Vaundy’s signature song “Kaiju no Hanauta” is one that many people practiced during vocal training lessons! Actually, my band has performed this song live before, and as you’d expect, lots of people knew it—it got everyone the most hyped, and it was a blast to play! The A and B sections are relatively calm, but I love how it builds from the chorus into the latter half.

The key is surprisingly high, and switching between head voice and chest voice is essential, so you need to keep your head resonating the whole time you sing.

If you practice with humming, the transitions become smoother, so give it a try! One thing to watch out for: if you hum by forcing your throat to vibrate, you’ll end up with a throaty sound when you sing and it’ll feel strained.

Instead, lightly go “hmm-hmm” as if you’re resonating between your eyebrows.

Try humming along with the track, occasionally switching to your singing voice, and go back and forth like that.

Goodbye ElegyNEW!Masaki Suda

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”

This is one of Masaki Suda’s signature rock songs, written and composed by Huwie Ishizaki.

The melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, so I think anyone can sing it.

I love this song too and always sing it four keys higher, and it’s more than enough to get the crowd going! The intro is cool right from the start, so it’s guaranteed to hype everyone up there.

Many people have probably heard the chorus as well, so people around you are likely to sing along! As for tricky parts, I’d say the end of the second chorus and the last chorus, where the high G#4 notes keep coming.

It’s kind of heartbreaking if you don’t nail that part, so let’s make it sound awesome! Take a solid breath and resonate the sound inside your mouth.

Try singing as if you’re shooting a beam from your mouth, vibrating the inside as you sing.

Also, to make matters worse, the lyrics there use the harder-to-pronounce “na” and “ma” lines in Japanese, so be conscious of projecting more strongly than you think you need to!
