For Men: Songs to Improve Your Singing. Practice Tracks for Getting Better at Karaoke (91–100)
RobinsonSpitz
Spitz’s 11th single, released in April 1995.
The rhythm is lively, and the melody is very poppy—easy to remember and sing—but when you actually try, the key is surprisingly high.
To sing it close to the original key, you’ll need solid fundamentals that let you produce clear, accurate high tones.
You also need to be able to switch smoothly between falsetto and chest voice in the closing phrase of the chorus.
In that sense, while it’s an easy song to learn and sing, it can also be considered suited for advanced singers.
It’s best to build your high range through basic vocal training, then practice by gradually raising the key from a lower one up to the original.
I think it’s one of the best songs for developing a stable high range and mastering shifts in vocal technique!
frustrating; irritating; impatientSafe zone
The band led by Koji Tamaki, Anzen Chitai, still enjoys steady popularity and has strong support among younger generations.
Among their works, the song I especially recommend is Jirettai.
From the very beginning, it’s a high-voltage piece that fundamentally demands a high level of vocal power and projection.
That alone would be fine, but the vocal line is surprisingly monotone, so to keep it from sounding like mere repetition, you have to add embellishments throughout—just like Koji Tamaki would.
For these reasons, it’s a perfect song for training your ad-libbing skills.
one strokeYu Takahashi
This is a track from Yu Takahashi’s seventh full-length album, “PERSONALITY,” which was released on October 21, 2020.
It’s crafted into a very pleasant song with a bright major-key feel and a medium up-tempo groove.
Takahashi’s vocal performance throughout the track is strikingly confident and resonant, and if you practice and learn to sing this song well, you’ll surely develop the ability to recreate its big groove and driving feel.
Even if your voice cracks a little or you can’t quite reach the high notes, don’t worry too much—just enjoy singing it.
That kind of attitude is actually very important when it comes to singing!
BOW AND ARROWKenshi Yonezu
Kenshi Yonezu’s new song “BOW AND ARROW.” Rather than the catchy pop tunes he’s known for, this piece leans more toward an artcore vibe.
As a result, the overall tempo is fast, and some phrases demand abrupt pitch jumps.
The chorus, in particular, requires repeatedly switching between falsetto and chest voice, making it quite challenging—be sure to stay mindful of precise pitch control as you sing.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is known for having many high tones.
When asked to name an artist with a high voice, many people probably picture the vocalist, Motoki Omori.
Although Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is strongly associated with high notes, there are no high-pitched parts in Bitter Vacation.
Compared to typical songs, it’s about average, but for a Mrs.
track, the vocal range is quite narrow.
In particular, there is no use of mixed voice or falsetto at all, so even men who can’t sing high notes can perform it without any problem.
Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy
“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.
homeYusaku Kiyama
A song from a father’s perspective by Yusaku Kiyama that weaves together the deep love of a parent cherishing their child and the joys of parenting, expressed through a gentle vocal and ballad melody.
It delivers to the heart, along with the warm tones of the piano, everyday moments shared with a child, a parent’s feelings as they watch their child grow, and messages to the child.
Released in February 2008 as his major-label debut on tearbridge records, it was chosen as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “UtaSta!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya.” In December of the same year, he performed at the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
This is a song you’ll want to listen to during life’s important milestones—such as graduations and weddings—when you want to feel the bond between parent and child.
