[For Men] Karaoke Challenge Songs: A collection of tracks that look cool if you can sing them! (51–60)
StarmineDa-iCE
The two members of Da-iCE are known for having a wide vocal range.
The range in “Starmine” is quite broad, from C#3 to D#5.
So, the points to watch out for when singing are pitch movement, switching between chest voice and falsetto, and the bouncy rhythm.
Right at the start, Hanamura comes in with a gritty vocal, but if you tense up and overthink it, you’ll strain your throat, so try to relax.
I think the most important thing is to sing comfortably, so it’s totally fine to sing the whole thing in falsetto at first! Once you get used to the song, try gradually strengthening that falsetto.
Let’s enjoy singing by using your body well and avoiding unnecessary tension!
From inside the windowBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s a B-side track from BUMP OF CHICKEN’s single “SOUVENIR,” released in April 2023.
Apparently, it was created for the program “BUMP OF CHICKEN 18-sai (Fes)” broadcast on NHK General TV on March 31, 2023.
The song features a vocal melody that rises and falls quite rapidly, and just by listening you can tell it won’t be straightforward to sing at karaoke.
To sing this song well, the key is, I believe, how faithfully you can reproduce the gentle, soft tone that still has a solid core—heard in parts like the A section.
Try to sing with care, valuing each note of the melody and every single word of the lyrics.
It’s also important to create contrast between the different sections of the song.
TATOOOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s 10th digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Pending Train: 8:23, Ashita Kimi to.” For ordinary listeners to sing this well at karaoke, the key, above all, is how closely you can replicate vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s very taut, soaring high-tone voice.
Try to sing without constricting your throat as much as possible.
If you aim your voice toward the upper palate, your singing will likely include lots of sparkling higher overtones like his, so give it a try.
Also, be careful not to let the slightly bouncy rhythm become flat.
I'd rather die.Fujii Kaze
It’s a song by Fujii Kaze included on his first album, “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” released in May 2020.
Within its simply arranged slow ballad style, you can enjoy Fujii Kaze’s remarkably diverse vocal expression.
Starting with an opening scat that skillfully shifts from mixed voice to falsetto, followed by a solid low register, and then soaring high notes in the latter half, the melody unfolds at a slightly brisk pace with frequent rises and falls.
Altogether, it makes for a song that’s quite challenging to sing.
If your vocals rush ahead of the backing track, it can ruin the slightly languid atmosphere of the original, so first make sure to really feel the rhythm of the backing track before you sing.

Black and WhiteDa-iCE
Da-iCE is a dance-vocal group that captivates women’s hearts with their powerful vocal performances.
Speaking of Da-iCE, their hallmark is definitely those soaring high notes, right? Their new song “Black and White” showcases Da-iCE’s high register to the fullest.
The most challenging element here is, without a doubt, the mixed voice sections.
Delivering Da-iCE’s signature, strong and resonant mixed voice across a wide range is no easy feat.
R/E/D/scratch
Right now, among up-and-coming visual kei bands, Kizu is drawing attention in the scene for their especially high level.
This year they even pulled off a successful solo show at the Budokan, and their momentum just keeps growing.
R/E/D/ is their new song.
The vocalist, Lime, is known for his use of high tones, and in this track he delivers top-tier high notes you won’t usually hear in mainstream pop.
If you like powerful high vocals with some shouts mixed in, definitely give it a listen.
Happy EnderTHE BEAT GARDEN
THE BEAT GARDEN is a music unit known for its rare lineup of four vocalists and one DJ.
Their new song “Happy Ender” spans a very wide vocal range.
The most striking feature is the mixed voice.
Mixed voice appears throughout the track, and because it’s the type that requires powerful, belted delivery, the piece is quite selective in terms of who can even produce the necessary vocals.
On top of that, the vocal line has dramatic rises and falls, making this undeniably an S-tier difficulty song.
