Fureai Masatoshi 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.

Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.

Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.

While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.

The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

A quintessential Carol song that wraps a straightforward love story in breezy rock ’n’ roll, remaining as vibrant as ever.
