Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for teenage boys to sing (71–80)

amberSEKAI NO OWAR

SEKAI NO OWARI “Amber”

Amber SEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI hadn’t been in the spotlight for a while, but they’ve just dropped a hit tune: Kohaku.

When you think of SEKAI NO OWARI, the high-tone vocals by fukase are memorable, but that element is more restrained in this track.

As a result, the overall vocal range is relatively narrow for a SEKAI NO OWARI song.

Men with an average vocal range should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.

Humor / Tatsuya Kitani – You More / Tatsuya Kitani

Humor Kitanitatsuya

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani is hugely popular among teens and people in their twenties for his wide-ranging musicality and catchy songs.

He has many great tracks, but one I especially recommend that you can sing without changing the key is Humor.

It features falsetto in the chorus, but the notes are high enough to be handled in chest voice as well, and the overall range is relatively narrow, so anyone with an average vocal range should be able to sing it in the original key.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

I did nothing for two hours.I won't forget

WASURENNEEYO “Did Nothing for 2 Hours” Lyric Video

I won’t forget that I did nothing for two hours.

Wasure ran nee yo is a band that’s gained popularity with its sharp rock sound and comical lyrics.

They’re especially supported by guys in their teens and twenties.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend for people who aren’t confident in singing is “Did Nothing for Two Hours.” While it’s on the slightly higher side vocally, the melody is easy to remember, and you don’t need to sing it perfectly clean, so overall it’s a low-difficulty song.

The fact that it’s very short is also one of the reasons it’s easy to sing.

The Washing Machine, You, and the RadioMacaroni Enpitsu

Washing machine and you and Radio Macaroni Enpitsu

I also recommend the classic rock song “Sentakki to Kimi to Radio” (“The Washing Machine, You, and the Radio”).

It’s a track included on the 2017 album “CHOSYOKU.” The song portrays a man who, despite leading a difficult life, feels happiness in the days he spends with his girlfriend.

While the guitar creates a driving sense of speed for a rock feel, the tempo itself isn’t too fast, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.

Try singing in a way that expresses the emotions to match the story in the song.

Kira Kira / Mosawo. [Music Video]

Sparkly fluff.

Singer-songwriter Mosawo, who keeps their looks private and is known for their trademark “female-perspective love songs.” The track “Kira Kira,” included on the 1st album Koi no Uta, features lyrics that portray the feelings of unrequited love and evoke images of youthful days.

Its simple melody and relaxed tempo make it easy to sing, but be careful not to miss the notes where falsetto leaps appear here and there.

With a clear, airy ensemble that feels pleasant, it’s a refreshing number especially recommended for high school boys to sing at karaoke.

osmanthus (fragrant orange osmanthus; sweet olive)Natori

Natori – Fragrant Olive

Kinmokusei Natori

Singer-songwriter Natori, whose debut digital single “Overdose” sparked a major response and put them in the spotlight as a new-generation artist.

The single “Kinmokusei,” released on August 25, 2023, features an impressive ensemble of delicately layered acoustic guitars.

Thanks to its low key, it’s easy to sing, but because the melody flows quickly and moves in fine detail, be sure to practice thoroughly before performing it at karaoke.

With its stylish, jazzy arrangement, it’s a number that’s sure to draw attention if you can pull it off.

I'm a BelieverSPYAIR

SPYAIR “I’m a Believer” Music Video Full ver. (TV Anime “Haikyu!! Second Season” Opening Theme)

I'm a Believer SPYAIR

SPYAIR is a band that’s popular for their powerful rock sound.

They’re especially popular among people in their 20s and are constantly active on the front lines.

Among SPYAIR’s songs, the one I particularly recommend for teenage boys is I’m a Believer.

The melody has a classic rock feel, but the pitch movement isn’t too extreme, and the vocal range is relatively narrow for their work.

In an era with many falsetto-heavy songs, a track like this that can be sung comfortably in chest voice could be a reliable addition to the repertoire of teenage male singers.
