KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

“Silhouette” is a song by KANA-BOON and their fifth major-label single, released on November 26, 2014.

I don’t think you need exceptionally high vocal skills to sing KANA-BOON’s songs, but for many people the sticking point might be their distinctive, slightly high-pitched vocal tone.

As long as you can handle that, the melody itself isn’t particularly difficult, so I think it’s a selection that should be easy for almost anyone to sing.

If you sing it in the original key, pay attention to the high notes—especially the transitions between chest voice and falsetto.

Listen closely to the original, study where and how different vocal techniques are used, and then try singing it.

If you’re not confident, you should be fine lowering the key!

Bunny GirlAKASAKI51rank/position

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

AKASAKI’s hit song “Bunny Girl.” Thanks to its explosive popularity on TikTok and Instagram, I think any high school student would know it.

While the track is great for hyping up a crowd, it’s also exceptionally easy to sing.

The main reason is its vocal range: mid1 C to mid2 E.

For a recent Japanese pop song, that’s remarkably narrow, making key adjustments easy and allowing anyone—regardless of gender—to sing it.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Just a little more

A music unit, YOASOBI’s digital single released on May 10, 2021.

It is their ninth digital single.

The song was also selected as the 2021 annual theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV.” This track has a light, slightly swung rhythm, making it easy and fun to hum along to at karaoke—even for those who don’t often sing.

Of course, YOASOBI’s singer ikura is highly regarded for her vocal ability; if you listen closely to her performance, you’ll notice how skillfully she switches her vocal delivery depending on the melody and lyrics.

Also, perhaps because YOASOBI’s songwriter Ayase started out as a Vocaloid producer, the sound production uses pitch correction as an effect.

Some people who aren’t confident singers might find that off-putting, but the song itself—especially the vocal melody—is very approachable and pop-leaning.

Don’t let your first impression fool you; feel free to pick it at karaoke and have fun with it!

Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai53rank/position

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Japanese Rice Is the Best in the World”

With an unmistakably provocative band name that sticks in your head once you hear it, this is a track from the Japanese loud rock band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s mini-album “Mada Mada Shinmai,” released in April 2015.

Judging from the band name and the song title, you might assume it’s a novelty/comic song, but it’s actually crafted at a fairly high level as a rock tune.

If you’re not confident in your singing and try to perform it exactly like the original, you might end up frustrated.

There are many sections that require high-tone shouts, so it’s important to lower the key just enough that the high notes don’t become too easy, but still have some challenge.

To sing high notes without straining your throat, vocal training lessons are essential, so if you don’t have experience, be careful not to force shouts and hurt your throat.

First love is cryingAimyon54rank/position

Aimyon – First Love Is Crying [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon is a female singer-songwriter popular not only among high school students but also among adults.

She’s known for her straightforward musical style and vocals influenced by 1970s folk and pop.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend to high school students is “First Love Is Crying.” It’s a track with a memorable melody reminiscent of Kazuo Zaitsu, and the melody line is very simple.

Since it’s the kind of song that moves you through its lyrics, I think even those who aren’t confident in their singing can perform it easily.

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “Super Strongest” Music Video

An idol group that has gained popularity with a music style and aesthetic fully devoted to uniquely Japanese cuteness, Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

Because they are known as successors to Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, I think any high school otaku well-versed in idol culture would know them.

Their song “Cho Saikyo” is a signature piece of theirs.

While it gives a pop impression, the vocal range is not that wide at mid2C to hiC♯, and the vocal lines don’t have abrupt pitch jumps, so it’s relatively easy.

Ballad of a SingerKazuyoshi Saito56rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito – Ballad of a Singer [Live ver.]

Released in 1997, this is a classic by Kazuyoshi Saito that continues to be covered by many artists.

It’s also a memorable song for me personally—I once heard a senior I admired sing it at a school festival and couldn’t help but cry.

The tempo is relaxed and the key is easy to sing.

How about trying it at karaoke when you’re with someone you like?
