The thing I’ve always wantedHirai Dai
When Japanese people sing, their voices tend to sound thin, regardless of vocal quality.
One factor is pronunciation.
Even among professionals, very few singers can properly execute the English “R” and distinguish among “N,” “M,” and “NG,” but Dai Hirai does this perfectly.
His new song, “Boku ga Zutto Hoshikatta Mono,” is an ideal piece for improving your singing.
It’s word-heavy, so you can learn a lot about pronunciation in Japanese songs.
If you want to sing with the kind of rich, full pronunciation you hear from foreign singers, definitely add it to your repertoire.
Yume YumeONE OK ROCK
I think ONE OK ROCK is the band that every guy dreams of.
I’m always thinking, “If I’m going to do a band, I want to do ONE OK ROCK!” but the reality is it’s hard to find someone who can sing their keys.
.
.
That said, this time with “Yume Yume,” the vocal range is E3–C5, and there aren’t a lot of repeated high notes, so I think more people will be able to sing it.
However, it has more rap parts than singing… You might struggle with the rap sections when learning it! Try changing the playback speed on YouTube and practice by following the lyrics slowly.
If you can sing it, it should go over really well at karaoke, so it’s nice to have at least one ONE OK ROCK song in your repertoire!

A gaze is lightTatsuya Kitani
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
He’s an artist known for many inventive phrases, and even though “Manazashi wa Hikari” ultimately comes together as orthodox pop, he slips in a Japanese-style phrase right before the chorus.
The song spans a slightly wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, but the hi B parts are in a light falsetto, so even those who struggle with head voice can sing it.
The more challenging spots are actually around hi A, so if you set your key with that as the focal point, you can expect a vocal that really soars at the climax.
Lights Out feat. Jeremy QuartusNulbarich
Nulbarich is a band that’s gained popularity for its unique sound, which blends R&B and neo-soul into J-pop.
The band name is pronounced “Narubaritchi.” They have many great songs, but one I especially recommend is “Lights Out feat.
Jeremy Quartus.” It features a style that mixes jazz and hip-hop, with a neo-soul vibe in the chorus.
It’s like a fusion of various forms of Black music, making it a great pick for anyone looking to sharpen their groove.
festivalFujii Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s masterpiece “Matsuri.” While it makes full use of distinctly Japanese sounds, its arrangement throughout strongly evokes elements of Black music.
The key feature of this track is, above all, the abundance of vocal runs.
It’s not straight-up R&B, so the runs are simpler compared to authentic R&B, but even so, there’s plenty for Japanese listeners who aren’t used to Black music to learn from.
The vocal range itself isn’t especially wide, so this is a must-listen for anyone looking to hone their run/embellishment techniques.
Taxi to the MoonPenthouse
Penthouse is a band that’s gained popularity for its stylish yet powerful musicality.
Vocalist Namioka has a rare vocal timbre: despite a wide range, he delivers a thick, husky voice.
Among Penthouse’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Taxi to the Moon.
Beyond the shouts, it features plenty of ad-libs, and it brings together numerous vocal techniques—from groove to rap flow.
If you want to elevate your overall vocal ability, definitely add it to your repertoire.
PARAMNESIADEXCORE
DEXCORE is a young visual kei band known for performances that rank among the top three in the scene.
Beyond their high level of musicianship, vocalist Kagami’s performances, in particular, have earned exceptionally high praise from within the industry.
In addition to clean vocals, he delivers death vocals with remarkable polish.
Their new track, PARAMNESIA, showcases this strength.
Its structure reveals a wide range of colors within a single song, and even just in the death vocal parts, there’s a lot of technique to learn from.
