ChangeONE OK ROCK
“Change,” which was selected as the theme song for the ONE OK ROCK × HondaJet “Go, Vantage Point.” commercial, is a track included on their 9th album, “Eye of the Storm.” It’s a number that brings the band’s musicality to the forefront, unconstrained by a purely rock image.
The key is high and the vocal range is wide, but the melody is simple and relaxed, so if you approach it calmly, it should be relatively easy to sing at karaoke.
If it really doesn’t match your vocal range, try adjusting the key on the karaoke machine to find a setting that lets you sing comfortably.

cherryPolysics
POLYSICS’ rendition of Spitz’s “Cherry.” It’s arranged in such a way that you can’t help but want to ask, “Is this really ‘Cherry’?” It’s an amazing arrangement that makes you think it could be techno music—or even game music.
Spitz sang it with a fresh, breezy feel, while POLYSICS’ distinctive arrangement sounds like it could blast off into outer space.
It’s a joy to listen to.
cherryPUFFY
There are many things to love about Cherry’s songs, but if you boil down their soft, dreamlike atmosphere, would it turn into a cover like this? Sung incredibly slowly, with PUFFY’s signature languid vocals, this cover really stands apart from the rest.
Since it’s included as one track on a covers album, it might sound different when heard in the flow of the album, but listened to on its own—what is it, shoegaze already?
