Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z78rank/position

B'z / Komachi Angel of the Sun

B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.

While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.

Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.

If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Otona BlueAtarashii Gakkou no Leaders81rank/position

[Adult Blue Parody Song] New Manga Association Leaders “Great Master Blue”

Set to the melody of Atarashii Gakko! (The Leaders)’ “Otona Blue,” this song features members of the Manzai Association’s board singing from the perspective of seasoned veterans.

It gives the impression of a viewpoint unique to those who frequently interact with the big names, and it sharply conveys what kind of presence these veterans are.

By detailing things like not being rattled when a joke falls flat, repeating the same routine over and over, and lecturing younger performers at great length, the lyrics clearly communicate just how troublesome their behavior can feel.

While it might look like a rebellion against the old guard, the song also acknowledges their humor in places, making it clear that this is a good-natured, affectionate parody.

Misato Watanabe [MV] “My Revolution”

My Revolution, released in 1986.

It was a huge hit especially among people in their 50s, wasn’t it? I’m sure there are many who’d say, “This song is my youth!” It’s easy to get into the rhythm and fun to sing, but the range is wider than you might expect—from E3 to F5—and the pitch span shifts suddenly between the verse, pre-chorus, and chorus, so watch out for that! Right before the chorus, make sure your throat doesn’t close; keep it well open.

If you make a surprised face, your facial muscles lift and your throat opens up, too! Try singing the chorus in that state, focusing on resonance rather than just pushing your voice.

Keep the airflow steady so the inside of your mouth vibrates.

Once you lock into the lively rhythm, it becomes much easier to sing—so go all in and enjoy singing it with energy!

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI83rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「Habit」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.

As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.

However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.

While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.

Remioromen – Powder Snow

Released in November 2005 as Remioromen’s second major single, this song was also used as an insert track in the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” The lyrics, which portray a heartrending story, are memorable, expressing feelings for something precious that has been lost against a backdrop of winter scenery.

The warm vocals and melodic lines are outstanding, making it the kind of tune you can’t help but hum along to.

It drew major attention at the time as the drama’s theme song and is also known as one of Remioromen’s signature tracks, so I think it’s a song that can be enjoyed across generations!
