interaction; friendly contact; bondingMasatoshi Nakamura
Masatoshi Nakamura has been active across a wide range of fields as an actor and singer.
As a singer, his main profession is acting, so it’s not that he possessed exceptionally high technical skill, but his expressive vocals did help him establish a place for a time.
Among Nakamura’s songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for aiming high karaoke scores is Fureai.
Its vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 A to mid2 D#, the tempo is a moderate BPM 123, and the melodic movement is much gentler compared to contemporary songs, so it should be quite feasible to target a high score.
If the end of the chorus is difficult to project, instead of using mixed voice, another option is to raise the key by one or two steps and sing it in falsetto.
Burn, you fine womanTwist
For men in their 60s, rock bands were likely an important part of the pages of their youth.
Among them, many probably felt their hearts race at the full-on masculinity of The TWIST’s sound.
That’s why I recommend “Moero Iiyo-na” (“Burn, Lovely Woman”).
Sera Masanori is known for his striking shouts, but he keeps them moderate on this track.
The range spans mid1 C# to hi A, which is on the slightly wider side for a male song, but not unmanageable—adjust the key and you should be able to sing it without trouble.
It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Eris with Azure EyesSafe zone
The band Anzen Chitai has produced numerous hit numbers.
From ballads to rock-flavored pop, they’ve turned all kinds of works into popular songs.
The one I’d like to recommend this time is Aoi Hitomi no Erisu (Eris with Azure Eyes).
It’s a gentle ballad, yet it also has well-placed moments of lift.
Rather than a big, explosive build, it’s the kind of song that gives you chills and goosebumps.
Its vocal range is quite narrow at mid1 C to mid2 D#, and the melodic movement is smooth, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
Another SaturdayShogo Hamada
Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” Although this song is renowned for being easy to sing, that doesn’t mean it has a narrow vocal range.
In fact, it spans a fairly typical range of mid1 C to mid2 F.
So why is it considered easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, the so-called “A,” which sits in the middle area where humans find it easiest to produce sound.
The vocal line also has few dramatic rises and falls, so as long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song with which anyone can aim for a high score.
RunawayRATS&STAR
When it comes to the groups that laid the foundation for soul music and R&B in Japan, Rats & Star surely comes to mind.
As their black-coated appearance suggested, they had deep respect for Black music.
Their song “Runaway” is one of their signature tracks, blending elements of Black music with kayōkyoku and J-pop into a very singable style.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D# to mid2 G, so as long as you focus on the groove, you should be able to aim for a high score.
unconsciously / without realizing itRyudo Uzaki
For men in their 60s, when it comes to no-nonsense male singer-songwriters, Ryudo Uzaki is likely the first name that comes to mind.
He has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Shira zu Shira zu no Uchi ni.
This piece is set within a relatively narrow range of mid1 B to mid2 C#, and the vocal line maintains a gentle, even contour.
However, because it calls for expressive elements like shouts and breath control, if you want to show appeal beyond just scoring points, I recommend mastering overtones that are effective in the low to low-mid range.
Ruby RingAkira Terao
Akira Terao has been hugely successful not only as an actor but also as a singer.
While he isn’t necessarily known for exceptional vocal power, his smooth vocals born from his low voice are highly appealing and have produced several hit songs.
Among them, the particularly popular piece is Ruby no Yubiwa (Ruby Ring).
Although the song features a very low range down to low G, its highest note is only B3, so most people should be able to sing it.
The melody contains many repetitions and the vocal line doesn’t demand much volume, so as long as you keep your pitch accurate, you can aim for a high score.
However, your score will drop if you miss notes during the key change in the latter half, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, be sure to practice repeatedly.
