Yukichi Award-Winning/men – Half-Ripe Thoughts (Music Video)

Singer-songwriter Yukichi Kousaku/men, who has won popularity with a uniquely original musical style.

Characterized by a distinctive techno sound infused with ambient elements, she consistently releases striking tracks with a musicality unlike anything else.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Hanjukukou.

Throughout the piece, the vocal range is narrow and there are no long sustained notes.

What’s more, in the chorus the track takes precedence over the vocal line, making it easy to sing—you can even catch your breath during the hook.

Singer-songwriter Riria, who enjoys overwhelming popularity among teenage girls.

She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Shitsuren Song Taku-san Kiite Naite Bakari no Watashi wa Mou.” Released in 2024, this track was followed by an acoustic version the next year.

Since it’s even slower than the original, you can sing it while taking your time to prepare for the tricky parts.

The vocal range is moderate, leaning somewhat toward the upper-mid to high register, but the pitch movement itself is gentle, making it perfect for aiming for a 100-point score.

Yorushika’s new song “Hebi” (Snake).

Recently, Yorushika has been consistently releasing tracks with a narrow vocal range sung in the lower register, and this piece is no exception—it’s also kept within a tight range.

Even at its highest phrases, it stays between the mid and upper-mid range, and overall it is dominated by the lower-mid register, so it doesn’t depend on the singer’s specific vocal range.

On top of that, there are no vocal lines that require abrupt pitch jumps, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a top score.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “You and the Summer Festival”

Although it was released in 2014, this classic hit, “Kimi to Natsu Fes,” has become hugely popular among Gen Z through platforms like TikTok.

It was SHISHAMO’s first single, the beloved three-piece band, and its music video is known for being set at the music festival “VIVA LA ROCK,” which took place in May 2014.

With its upbeat, straightforward guitar sound, catchy melody, and heart-fluttering lyrics, it’s a song we’d love to hear teenage girls who love festivals—or dream of going to them—sing.

You’ll want to pay a bit of attention to the key change in the chorus, but it’s not difficult; just ride the uptempo rhythm and sing naturally!

Even if the dream endsTOMOO

TOMOO – Even After Waking From the Dream [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

TOMOO is one of the singer-songwriters who represent the J-pop scene of the Reiwa era.

Since the hit release of “Ginger” in 2021, she has continued her remarkable rise, armed with outstanding songwriting skills and a voice you can recognize at first listen.

Many of her songs feature melodies that aren’t straightforward, so there may be plenty of people who want to sing TOMOO’s songs at karaoke but feel they might be difficult.

However, “Yume wa Sametemo” is relatively easy to sing and highly recommended.

It’s an infectious pop song with rhythmic piano tones and a dazzling brass section.

While the chorus does include some falsetto, the overall range is on the narrower side, so even those who aren’t confident with high notes should definitely give it a try.

While tuki.

’s songs can seem challenging, her “Expiration Date of Love,” released in September 2024, is relatively easier to sing and recommended for those aiming for high scores at karaoke.

The melody sits on the higher side, but the overall range is somewhat narrow, so if you adjust the key to suit your voice, even those with lower voices should be able to take it on.

Since there’s a key change in the final chorus, be careful not to go off pitch.

While inheriting the sound that could be called the golden age of Heisei-era J-POP, Aimyon continues to release songs with a timeless, universal appeal.

“Sakura ga Furu Yoru wa” was released in 2021 as the theme song for “Koi to Ookami ni wa Damasarenai,” and it’s a masterpiece brimming with Aimyon’s signature style—comforting yet somehow bittersweet, with melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply.

Overall, although the pitch sits relatively high, the range is narrow and the melodic leaps are modest, so those with lower voices should be able to sing it well by adjusting the key.

For the chorus’s falsetto lines, try to project from your diaphragm to avoid your voice breaking.
