Deeper DeeperONE OK ROCK
The 2013 release “Deeper Deeper.” The vocal range in this piece is mid2B to hiB, so the range itself isn’t particularly wide.
However, the overall pitch is very high, so male singers should take caution.
Additionally, the highest note, hiB, appears more than 40 times in total, requiring strong vocal stamina.
Fortunately, there are hardly any sustained high notes, so focus on cleanly executing each individual high-pitched phrase.
greenCHEHON
“Midori” by CHEHON, known as an anthem of herb-themed reggae.
At first it sounds like he’s whispering sweet words to a woman, but in fact it’s a song about a man who loves herb, set to a warm, gentle reggae melody.
Since it’s performed by a deejay, the vocal line is relatively easy, with a modest range.
The rhythm makes it easy to feel reggae’s characteristic off-beat on the 2 and 4 counts.
It’s also a well-known track, so be sure to check it out.
A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE
Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.
This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.
The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.
Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.
Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.
In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.
Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.
If I sing to the sky175R
175R is a rock band that made its major debut in 2003.
They announced a hiatus in 2010, but resumed activities in 2016 and continue to perform at many festivals and play live shows.
When you think of 175R, many people probably think first of this song, Sora ni Utaeba.
The song overall gives the impression of having many long tones, which really bring out vocalist SHOGO’s higher register.
The vocal range spans an octave and a half from F3 to B4, which might feel a bit high for male singers.
That said, the song starts mostly in the lower range, so as long as you can handle the rapid, wordy line at the end of the chorus, it’s a very satisfying song to sing.
It builds even more toward the end with call-and-response parts, so definitely give it a try when you want to hype things up at karaoke.
One more time,One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
Masayoshi Yamazaki’s masterpiece “One more time, One more chance,” still beloved by many listeners today.
Since it enjoyed a long-running hit, it’s a song that people both 39 and 30 years old are likely to know.
Its melody, imbued with a sense of poignancy, is striking.
While the emotive vocals might make it seem difficult, it is actually a song with a narrow vocal range and doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal timbre.
Plus, there’s no need to belt it out, making it a great recommendation for those who want to sing it smoothly and lightly.
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi
A timeless adult classic by Kazuyoshi Saito, celebrated for its deeply moving vocals and rich storytelling.
This exquisite ballad conveys heartfelt emotions for a loved one—feelings that are hard to say out loud—set to song with disarming honesty.
Its simple melody and resonant guitar gently enfold the lyrical world.
Since its release in November 1997, many artists have covered it, and in 2017 it was used as the theme song for the animated film “Lu Over the Wall.” In August 2022, a performance on THE FIRST TAKE drew significant attention, extending its appeal to a new generation.
With a relaxed tempo and a relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing with ease.
Why not sing it with all your heart, pouring your feelings for someone special into every note?
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
Takuya Ohashi’s gentle yet powerful vocals blend beautifully with the fresh sound of the acoustic guitar.
Centered on themes of growth and challenge, the song tenderly reminds us of the importance of not forgetting the pure feelings in our hearts, even as we become adults.
Released in April 2004 as the fifth single, it became beloved across generations as an NTT DoCoMo commercial song.
It was also included on the album “Kuusou Clip,” released the same year, and achieved steady sales.
With its relaxed tempo and a melody carried by stable pitch, it seeps into the heart alongside fond memories.
As a refreshing classic that anyone can enjoy, it will continue to linger in the hearts of many.
