Chinozo “Goodbye Declaration” feat. FloweR

When it comes to catchy songs that can strengthen bonds with friends and teammates, “Goodbye Declaration” stands out.

Released in 2020 by Vocaloid producer Chinozo, it gained attention through finger-dance videos posted on TikTok.

Many of you may be familiar with the hand poses made up of peace and OK signs.

Since the choreography uses only the upper body, it’s easy for anyone at karaoke to join in—that’s a big plus.

Feel free to arrange the parts outside the chorus choreography however you like and have fun! How about everyone dancing together to the rhythmic beat?

Butterfly Full Version-Digimon Adventure Opening

The anime Digimon Adventure, based on the game Digital Monster that gained popularity in the 1990s, is a rare long-running hit among anime works derived from toys and games, and it still enjoys a strong following today.

Butter-Fly is known as its theme song and continues to be loved by many fans, frequently ranking high in anime song charts at karaoke.

Although the song spans a wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, only some of the falsetto notes are high, and the chest voice stays within mid2 G#.

Therefore, as long as you can handle the falsetto parts, you likely won’t find the vocal range particularly challenging.

Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Masahiko Kondo59rank/position

Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku by Masahiko Kondo

This song, released in 1981, is one of Masahiko Kondo’s signature tracks that brought a fresh breeze to the idol pop scene of the time.

It strikes a perfect balance between flashy idol flair and restrained subtlety, captivating listeners with lyrics that weave in English phrases and a catchy rhythm.

It was also included on the album “Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku,” released in December of the same year, and was used in a commercial for House Foods’ “Kukure Curry.” The song marked his debut appearance at the 32nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen and reached No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It’s a recommended pick when you want to get hyped with people of the same generation or savor a nostalgic Showa-era mood.

Love Story Suddenly by Kazumasa Oda

Singer-songwriter Kazumasa Oda, who rose to popularity with his high-toned voice tinged with transience and his playful character, continues to be highly active today.

“Love Story wa Totsuzen ni,” written as the theme song for the quintessential trendy drama Tokyo Love Story, was originally included as the B-side to his sixth single, “Oh! Yeah!” Its airy, urban arrangement still feels timeless even now.

It’s a pop tune whose massive success makes perfect sense—the opening guitar alone brings back iconic scenes from the drama.

A heart-pounding song filled with passion for dreams and adventure, highlighted by Rica Matsumoto’s powerful vocals.

It delivers a youthful, positive message, singing of the courage to face hardship and the bonds with friends—perfect for boosting excitement at school sports days and athletic festivals.

Released as a single in June 1997, it was used as the opening theme for a TV anime.

It won the Work Award at the Heisei Anisong Grand Prize and garnered widespread support, reaching as high as No.

7 on the Oricon charts.

Even when practice time is limited for a sports-day cheer song, its simple, easy-to-remember melody and lyrics mean the whole class can start singing it right away.

Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster's Flower Song)Vaundy62rank/position

Monster’s Flower Song / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

Vaundy’s signature song “Kaiju no Hanauta” is one that many people practiced during vocal training lessons! Actually, my band has performed this song live before, and as you’d expect, lots of people knew it—it got everyone the most hyped, and it was a blast to play! The A and B sections are relatively calm, but I love how it builds from the chorus into the latter half.

The key is surprisingly high, and switching between head voice and chest voice is essential, so you need to keep your head resonating the whole time you sing.

If you practice with humming, the transitions become smoother, so give it a try! One thing to watch out for: if you hum by forcing your throat to vibrate, you’ll end up with a throaty sound when you sing and it’ll feel strained.

Instead, lightly go “hmm-hmm” as if you’re resonating between your eyebrows.

Try humming along with the track, occasionally switching to your singing voice, and go back and forth like that.

Mikito-P “Shoujo Rei” MV

Mikito-P, a Vocaloid producer known for works like “Ii Aru Fan Club” and “Roki,” places emphasis on a classic Vocaloid style, capturing the unique excitement that only Vocaloid can deliver.

While many of his songs are challenging, there are also some that are easy to sing—such as “Shoujo Rei.” Its composition is closer to J-pop, without the typically dense word count found in many Vocaloid tracks.

The vocal range is a moderately high mid2A to hiF, but since the highest note occurs due to a key change, you should be able to sing it comfortably by adjusting the key appropriately.
