[For Men] Songs That Make You a Better Singer: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke (31–40)
GAME OVERSIRUP
SIRUP is a singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity with slow-jam-focused R&B.
He hasn’t done much solo work recently due to many collaborations, but he’s just dropped a new track: “GAME OVER.” It’s authentic Black music, so you can feel a groove you won’t find in J-pop or Japanese rock.
With lots of falsetto and occasional ad-libs, it’s recommended for anyone who wants to develop vocal skills like overseas artists.
one difficultyPenthouse
Penthouse is a band that continues to embody the city-soul genre.
Their vocalist, Shintaro Namioka, has a rich, husky voice that’s rare among contemporary Japanese artists.
Since many Japanese singers—both amateurs and professionals—tend to lack depth and power in their vocal production these days, mastering his singing style will help you stand out.
Among their songs, Ichinan is especially suitable for improving overall vocal ability: it spans a wide range and makes solid use of falsetto.
Off The MaskYuta
Yuta, a Japanese member of the hugely popular K-pop group NCT, is well-known even among many male listeners in Japan.
His solo track Off The Mask showcases a loud rock sound you don’t usually hear in the group, featuring repeated shouts throughout.
It has a catchy rock vibe, so the vocal lines themselves are relatively easy to sing.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to improve the quality and stamina of their shouts.
LOST IN PARADISE feat. AKLOAli
ALI is one of Japan’s leading funk bands.
Their sound is characterized by a blend of funk and jazz, and lately they’ve often collaborated with hip-hop artists and rappers.
Among ALI’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is LOST IN PARADISE feat.
AKLO.
While it spans a wide vocal range, it emphasizes groove even more, making it perfect for anyone looking to sharpen their sense of rhythm.

RADWIMPSIs there still anything that love can do?
RADWIMPS’s “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” is a song released on July 19, 2019 as the theme song for the film Weathering With You.
Many of you are probably familiar with it.
The tempo is relaxed, and the melody line is easy to follow.
If you sing each phrase carefully, you won’t fall out of rhythm, making it easy to match the pitch bar as well.
The overall vocal range is C#3–F#4; it goes a bit high, but since it’s a gentle song, use your falsetto to sing with a soft feel.
Try to project your voice as if it’s resonating in your head, coming from the top of your head for both low and high notes.
When you focus on head resonance, your facial muscles naturally lift, and keeping them that way makes it easier to stay on pitch.
Around the chorus, adding an accent to the initial note helps your voice come out clearly and lets you sing comfortably.

Summer-colored FireworksSnow Man
“Natsuiro Hanabi” is sung alternately by the nine members of Snow Man with no overlapping parts, so it’s very easy to sing solo.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that lets you breathe comfortably and sing with ease.
It’s highly recommended for those who want to sing at a relaxed tempo and feel good doing it.
The vocal range mainly sits around mid1 to mid2, so even if high notes aren’t your strength, you can sing it with confidence.
Ballads can be tricky to add dynamics to, and some people may end up singing them somewhat flatly.
In such cases, putting clear accents on slightly higher notes or at the beginnings of phrases will help create more contrast.
In “Natsuiro Hanabi,” the C-melody is the biggest highlight, so sing it with the feeling of projecting your voice far into the distance and enjoy yourself!
AliensKirinji
Kirinji’s classic “Aliens” is the biggest hit that propelled their name nationwide.
The song is famous for its wide vocal range.
In the original, the chorus is sung in falsetto, but it can also work to lower the key of the opening section and sing the chorus in a medium-high chest voice.
In any case, it demands both a broad range and a relaxed, effortless delivery.
It’s not an easy song to sing, but if you want to seriously level up your vocal skills, be sure to check it out.
