lightlyAi Tomioka

Ai Tomioka – Lightly (Music Video) / GLOBAL WORK “The Sukkirei Knit is a can’t-go-wrong piece.” TV commercial tie-in song

Ai Tomioka’s new song “Karoyaka ni.” Ai Tomioka is slightly influenced by Western music, and her songs feature several phrases that evoke the overseas pop scene.

This piece strongly reflects those traits as well, characterized by a sound reminiscent of alternative pop and modern pop with a country vibe.

Despite incorporating elements of Western music, the song has a relatively narrow vocal range and doesn’t require advanced techniques like elaborate ad-libs.

As long as you lock into the rhythm and keep your pitch steady, the melody is easy to grasp and sing—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Singer-songwriter tuki.

, who has earned overwhelming popularity since her teens.

She recently drew attention due to a face-reveal controversy, so many of you may still remember the buzz.

Her new song is Seesaw.

This track, arranged as orthodox J-POP, sits mostly in the midrange throughout.

There are moments of falsetto, but the lines themselves aren’t particularly high; she’s simply choosing to sing them in falsetto.

So even those who lack confidence in their vocal range can sing it with ease.

In Love with the MirrorPraise

Praise – In Love with the Mirror

Reisan is a band fronted by Saaya from the comedy duo Lalande.

Their slightly downtempo sound, which incorporates a touch of Black music while staying on trend, has become popular, and although the band is still relatively new, they’ve already churned out multiple hit songs.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is their new single, “Kagami ni Koishite” (In Love with the Mirror).

While hints of Black music peek through at key moments, the song is fundamentally based on orthodox J-pop, so the vocal line itself is simple.

There aren’t many drastic pitch jumps, so anyone with a basic level of vocal technique should be able to sing it without much difficulty.

Tapyume “Sumikko Disco”

Perfume’s song “Sumikko Disco,” performed under their character name “Tapyume,” features a musical style centered on 1980s synth-pop and synthwave, with a catchy, easy-to-grasp rhythm reminiscent of music from that era.

The song has few long sustained notes and a narrow vocal range, so it’s very easy to sing even for teenage girls who can’t hit high notes.

Lately, oldies have been popular among teens, and for teenage girls who like songs in the vein of Wink, this track will likely hit the mark quite well.

MaidenTohru

Tomei – Maiden [Official Music Video]

Released on February 23, 2024 as the lead track of the digital EP “My Only Love,” this song portrays both a deep longing for love and the confusion of being hurt by it.

TOMEI’s vocals are calm and subdued, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocal power.

In particular, this track has a narrow vocal range and an easy-to-follow rhythm, so you’ll likely find it especially singable.

Since the chorus has a downbeat feel, I recommend turning the microphone volume up a bit higher than usual when singing it at karaoke.

Once moreYuka

Yu Kaoru – Once Again (Official Music Video)

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for a musical style shaped by being born and raised overseas.

Her slightly Western-influenced phrasing and songwriting are especially striking.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is her new track, “Mou Ichido” (“Once Again”).

It sits mostly in the mid-to-high range and is relatively easy compared to her other pieces.

If you struggle with the falsetto in the chorus, try lowering the key and singing with a whispery, mix-voice approach.

After all, I'm an idolAKB48

Nantettatte Idol Music Video / AKB48 10th Album [Official]

AKB48 is an idol group that has been active for many years.

They have produced numerous classic songs, and recently they released a cover of a classic hit.

That song is “Nantettatte Idol.” The original is a masterpiece by Kyoko Koizumi, released in 1985.

As a product of the Showa era, it features a catchy vocal line with relatively little melodic variation.

On the other hand, it contains quite a few sustained notes, so a certain level of endurance is required.
