Swaying feelingsZARD
A quintessential song of summer, ZARD’s classic “Yureru Omoi” is characterized by its pleasant melody.
The gently emotive opening has been becoming a karaoke staple.
For example, the bittersweet melody in the chorus really grips listeners’ hearts, yet it actually doesn’t rely heavily on high notes, giving it a subtle charm that doesn’t limit who can sing it.
Indeed, it’s easy to sing for both men and women, and the fact that you can comfortably attempt it without changing the key is likely one reason for its popularity.
Like the dazzling summer sunshine, why not try singing “Yureru Omoi” in the original key and enjoy a uniquely personal karaoke time?
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
This was the third major-label single by the girls’ rock band ZONE, released in August 2001.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS daytime drama series Kids War 3: “Don’t Mess With Me,” starring Mao Inoue.
With its simple arrangement that even hints at a 1970s rock vibe and its catchy, approachable melody, it’s a memorable J-pop classic.
The vocal melody stays within a range that most women can comfortably cover, making it a great choice for those who prefer to sing in the original key.
Be mindful of the brief falsetto moment in the chorus, and make sure your transition between registers is smooth.
Fiancé-kkyunano
Ano-chan is a hugely in-demand TV personality, beloved in living rooms across the country.
As the artist ano, she’s also extremely popular and has released a string of hit songs.
Her new track, Yukin’ Kon-kyun, showcases a musical style featuring elements of Chinese pop.
It might sound like a high-pitched song, but that’s due to ano’s vocal timbre—the actual range isn’t very wide.
Since it’s neither particularly low nor high, as long as you get the rhythm down, most people should be able to sing it in the original key.
Female (71–80)
feelin’muque
Muque is a four-piece rock band known for their pop-rock sound tinged with an emotional atmosphere.
It’s pronounced “Muku.” They’re already drawing attention in the Japanese rock scene.
They have several great songs, but the one I especially recommend as a track you can sing without changing the key is “feelin’.” It features pop-rock with a slight R&B and hip-hop flavor, and the vocal line remains composed throughout.
There are no drastic pitch jumps or high-register parts, so most women should be able to sing it comfortably.
To Those Who Know the Blue of the SkyAimyon
It was Aimyon’s ninth major single, released in October 2019.
It was used as the theme song for the animated film of the same name, “Her Blue Sky.” As for the vocal range used in the melody, I think it stays within a range that an average female singer can handle without strain.
However, what’s most important for making this song sound good is, above all, how closely you can reproduce Aimyon’s own vocal expression.
Be sure to listen carefully to the original track and study in depth how she spaces the phrases and uses rests.
The wind is blowing.Ikimonogakari
This is Ikimono-gakari’s 24th single, released in July 2008.
It’s one of their signature songs, known for its slightly poignant melody.
In terms of vocal range, it should fall comfortably within a range that most women can sing without strain.
The melody is also very easy to sing and remember, so even those who don’t sing often should be fine.
Try to listen carefully to the karaoke drum track and avoid letting the vocal rhythm rush ahead.
Also, practice singing the high notes with an open, relaxed tone, doing your best not to tighten your throat.
DAY BY DAY (Feat. Yunyuri)Spat-out raindrops
The band Haita Ametsubu has gained popularity with a musical style that incorporates synth-pop elements.
Their languid, ennui-tinged songs are especially popular and have earned them a fervent following in certain circles.
Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is DAY BY DAY (Feat.
Yunyuri).
It’s a collaboration with Yunyuri, a vocalist from South Korea, and while the overall groove is upbeat, the vocal line remains calm and composed.
There’s a slightly higher section in the bridge, but it tops out around a mixed-voice range, so most women should be able to sing it in the original key.
