A signature song by Aimyon, a female singer popular especially among young people.

The melody and rhythm are easy to grasp, making it an easy song to sing.

While there aren’t many large pitch changes, it requires strong vocal power, so it’s recommended for those who can project well.

LiSA “Homura” -MUSIC CLIP-

Homura, which was chosen as the theme song for the hugely popular anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, is now one of LiSA’s signature songs.

Gurenge, also used in Demon Slayer, has a fast tempo and is quite difficult, but compared to that, Homura is much easier to sing.

It has a relaxed tempo and many of the notes are on the lower side, so it won’t strain your throat.

The chorus does go a bit higher in places, but if you can’t reach those notes in chest voice, it’s perfectly fine to switch to falsetto there!

GReeeeN – Kiseki

GReeeeN’s “Kiseki,” which became a huge hit as the theme song for the drama ROOKIES, is a classic that sings about cherishing the encounter with someone you love.

With down-to-earth lyrics, it’s a song that junior high school students can easily relate to! The rhythm is simple overall, so it’s recommended for those who aren’t confident in their sense of rhythm.

There’s a bit of rap in the latter half, but since it mostly repeats the same rhythmic pattern, it should be easy to memorize! If you’re worried, you can sing it together with friends!

Kenshi Yonezu – Azalea

Kenshi Yonezu’s new song “Azalea.” While Yonezu’s works often span wide vocal ranges due to his broad musicality, this track is comparatively contained within a narrower range.

It maintains a consistently downbeat feel throughout, with no abrupt pitch jumps from the verse to the chorus.

However, there is one spot in the final chorus that uses falsetto, so watch out for that.

Aside from that, there are no tricky sections, making it an easy song to sing.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

If you sing it stylishly at family karaoke and score high, your parents might be thrilled.
