Spitz / Cherry

Spitz have been at the forefront from the 1990s to today with their one-of-a-kind vocals.

Among their songs, Cherry is one of the most well-known.

Its biggest charm is the simple, beautiful melody—so catchy that you can kind of remember it after just one listen! For people who aren’t confident singers, simply memorizing a song can be a hurdle.

With Cherry, it’s relatively easy to learn, and since everyone knows it, you can even ask someone else to sing it for you if you’re in a bind.

It’s definitely a song worth practicing!

Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN2rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Friend’s Song”

“Tomodachi no Uta” is a moving ballad with a pleasant melody and touching lyrics.

The words, which express feelings for a friend living far away, are quite moving and likely resonate with many listeners.

The song’s vocal range is just over one octave—fairly narrow—and the pitches sit comfortably within a range that most men can sing.

Combined with its relaxed tempo and simple melody, it should be easy to sing.

Because the range is narrow, if high notes are difficult, you can lower the key.

Creepy Nuts – Otonoke [Official MV] [Dandadan Opening]

Creepy Nuts’ new song “Otonoke.” Released as the theme song for the popular anime “Dandadan,” it became a nationwide hit.

The biggest draw of the track is its undeniably catchy hook.

The rap part appears twice, and compared to other Creepy Nuts songs, the flow is somewhat simpler; the hook features an easy vocal line that anyone can sing.

Unless you’re particularly uncomfortable with rapping, it’s a song you should be able to perform with relative ease.

Homecomings – Garden of Light and Fish Dreams (Official Music Video)

Homecomings is a four-piece band that has gained popularity for lyrics that capture the real emotions of young people and a catchy musical style.

Formed by four members who belonged to a university folk song club, the band features many memorable, folk-influenced lyrics.

Among Homecomings’ works, the one I especially recommend is “Hikari no Niwa to Sakana no Yume” (“Garden of Light and Fish’s Dream”).

It’s crafted in a classic J-pop style, and since there are no particularly high vocal parts, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

KANA-BOON “Horarara” Music Video

KANA-BOON is a rock band that has remained at the forefront of the scene for many years, working on anime theme songs and more.

Recently, their sound has grown more delicate, featuring a style reminiscent of early Unicorn.

Their new song, “Horarara,” showcases that soft musicality evocative of the early-2000s Japanese rock scene.

The vocal range is about average, and the melody line is extremely simple, so as long as the key suits you, anyone can sing it without trouble.

MY FIRST STORY – Merry-Go-Round – Official Music Video

With recent collaborations with artists like HYDE, the rock band MY FIRST STORY has been gaining even more momentum.

They’re known for a hard style that’s essentially hard rock with a touch of heavy metal.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is their new track, “Merry-Go-Round.” It features a nostalgic tone with a hint of kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) essence.

The vocal line is simple, and the death-voice parts are used as chorus rather than the main vocal line, so even those who can’t do death vocals can sing it without any problem.

RADWIMPS – Kanata Haruka [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS is a band that boasts overwhelming popularity not only among teens but also among people in their 30s.

They keep releasing hit songs with catchy, memorable phrases every time.

Among their works, the song I’d recommend for those who aren’t confident singers is Kanata Haluka.

This track is arranged as classic J-pop.

While it’s on the longer side compared to typical songs, it doesn’t require belting, so I think you’ll be able to sing it without any trouble.
