Mr.Children “I Want to Hold You” MUSIC VIDEO

It’s an eternal love song written and composed by vocalist Kazutoshi Sakurai.

It first appeared on the album “Kind of Love.” Although total sales were about 60,000 copies, it later received Gold Disc certification and continues to be loved across generations.

The overall vocal range spans D3 to A#4, expanding and building toward the latter half.

When singing, project your voice confidently without hesitation to maintain stability throughout.

Since head voice appears at the end of the chorus, keep resonance in your head so you can transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.

Also, the final chorus modulates upward.

Raise your energy and stay mindful so your pitch doesn’t drop!

Promise of SunflowersMotohiro Hata86rank/position

Motohiro Hata / Promise of a Sunflower (Short Ver.)

This is Motohiro Hata’s 17th single, released in August 2014.

It became the theme song for the animated film “STAND BY ME Doraemon” and was a hit that also had many other tie-ins.

It’s a gentle ballad, and while some people who aren’t confident singers might feel hesitant when it’s recommended to them, the melody is very simple and beautiful, and once you actually try singing it, there aren’t many difficult parts.

So don’t be afraid—give it a try.

If high notes are tough for you, lowering the key by two or three steps should make it manageable for most male singers.

Just be careful with the transition between chest voice and falsetto around the end of the first verse (A-melody).

Just by you being hereKome Kome Club87rank/position

KOME KOME CLUB – Kimi ga Irudakede (1992)

The 13th single by Kome Kome Club, released in May 1992.

Helped by its use as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Sugao no Mama de,” it became a massive hit, selling over 2 million copies in total.

As a hit from the early ’90s, the heyday of J-pop, many people who are now in their 50s likely enjoyed singing this song at karaoke back then.

Watching the video again now, you can feel the “bubble-era vibe” everywhere—from vocalist Carl Smoky Ishii’s hairstyle and costumes to various elements of the song.

If you recall that atmosphere while singing it, you might find it even more enjoyable.

I want to take only you away just like this.DEEN88rank/position

DEEN “I Want to Steal You Away Just Like This <Kiseki Version>”

DEEN’s debut single is a love song that portrays lingering feelings for a former lover and a yearning to reunite.

Through imagery such as quiet cityscapes and a nostalgic umbrella in the rain, it expresses the protagonist’s loneliness and solitude.

In the chorus, the fervent wish to “take you away” is repeated, infusing the song with a passionate emotion that resonates with many listeners.

Released in March 1993, it was featured in an NTT DoCoMo pager commercial.

The single reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a major hit with total sales of approximately 1.

293 million copies.

It’s also recommended for those who want to sing an emotional ballad or practice mixed voice.

Why not enjoy belting out this high-tone song at karaoke?

ChronostasisBUMP OF CHICKEN89rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Chronostasis”

A digital-only single, the 18th by BUMP OF CHICKEN, released on April 11, 2022.

The band’s vocalist, Motoo Fujiwara, is a singer with a wonderfully light voice featuring very attractive higher overtones.

Because of that, some people might wonder, “Can someone like me with a low voice really sing this?” But there’s no need to worry—the vocal melody mainly uses lower notes and pitches.

In fact, I think the melody is easier to sing for those who are good with lower registers.

However, if you want to capture a nuance similar to his performance, try using as light a vocal production as possible and aim the sound toward your upper palate.

That should bring you closer to the feel of the original.

[Official] Noriyuki Makihara “I Won’t Fall in Love Again” (Music Video) [5th Single] (1992) Noriyuki Makihara / Mou Koi Nante Shinai

A signature song by Noriyuki Makihara, distinguished by its heartwarming melody that embraces both the ache of heartbreak and a brave front.

It gently portrays memories of a former lover and the nostalgia of everyday life, while the protagonist’s resolve to move forward resonates deeply with listeners.

Released in May 1992, it was chosen as the theme song for the NTV drama “After the Children Are Asleep.” Included on the album “Kimi wa Boku no Takaramono,” it became a major hit, ranking 7th on Oricon’s year-end chart.

This piece is a companion for those standing at life’s crossroads.

When you gather with friends for karaoke, its universally relatable lyrics and melody are sure to warm the heart.

turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI91rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “Turquoise”

This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th major-label single, released in April 2023.

It was chosen as the theme song for Kirin’s “Hyoketsu.” Fukase, the vocalist of SEKAI NO OWARI, is a singer known for his boyish, high voice, so some listeners might recoil at first and think, “There’s no way I can sing something this high!” However, if you listen closely, you’ll find that the vocal melody doesn’t actually span a very wide range.

So please set aside any preconceptions and give it a try—you’ll likely find you can sing it quite casually, almost like humming along.

If you place the sound in your mouth as if you’re directing it toward the upper palate, you’ll enhance the higher overtones in your voice, bringing it closer to the feel of the original track.

Give it a try!
