DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Yorushika is a duo consisting of composer n-buna—known as a Vocaloid producer behind hits like “Yoake to Hotaru” and “Toumei Elegy”—and vocalist suis.

They continue to release a wide range of profound music, from delicate pieces that touch the heartstrings to nostalgic and emotional rock numbers.

This time, I’d like to introduce some of Yorushika’s songs that are relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

Give them a try!

Hitchcock Yorushika

“Hitchcock” is a track from Yorushika’s second mini-album “An Encore for a Loser Isn’t Needed,” released in 2018.

The song is notable for its lyrics depicting a girl seeking life advice from a teacher she has a crush on, and it’s a fan favorite among Yorushika’s numbers.

Its shuffle-based, bouncy beat creates a sense of forward motion and groove, which contrasts nicely with the negative-tinged lyrics.

It’s also great for your karaoke repertoire, so give it a try!

The cover song “Make-up Shadow,” included on Inoue Yosui Tribute, produced to commemorate Yosui Inoue’s 50th debut anniversary.

The ensemble, which dresses this timeless classic in a contemporary sound, further accentuates the power inherent in the song itself.

With its generally low key, narrow range, and a melody that is simple and relaxed, it should be easy to sing.

It’s also recommended for karaoke with people from the generation that likely listened to the original in real time, so definitely give it a try.

Included on their first major-label album, Elma, is the song “Ame to Cappuccino” (“Rain and Cappuccino”).

The album was released in 2019, reaching No.

2 on Billboard Japan.

It’s a mid-tempo track with a bouncy 16-beat feel and a driving, undulating groove that’s really cool.

The lyrics, which depict a protagonist who’s begun to recover from sadness and slowly face forward again, are especially memorable.

Be sure to get into the rhythm, master “Rain and Cappuccino,” and show it off at karaoke!

Bremen Yorshka

“Bremen” is the 11th digital-only single, released in July 2022.

It reached No.

8 on Billboard’s download chart.

The song is inspired by the Brothers Grimm tale “The Town Musicians of Bremen,” and the lyrics feature many words related to rhythm and ensemble.

The tempo is a comfortable mid-tempo—neither too fast nor too slow—making it easy to groove to.

With many refrains that repeat similar phrases, the melody line is easy to remember and sing.

Telepath Yorushika

Telepath is the 12th digital-only single, written as the opening theme for the TV anime Kaina of the Great Snow Sea.

It’s a memorable number featuring an ensemble built around a catchy piano melody.

While the vocal range is fairly wide, the key sits relatively low for a Yorushika song overall, making it easier to sing at karaoke.

The melody flows at a relaxed pace, but be careful: if you don’t pay attention to the bouncy feel of the shuffle beat, you won’t capture the original vibe.

Nautilus is the final track included on the album Elma, which was created around the concept of the story’s protagonists, Amy and Elma.

It stands out as the only song on the album written from Amy’s point of view, bringing the story told throughout the album to a close.

Its fully 3DCG animated music video also drew attention, beautifully capturing the protagonists’ delicate expressions and movements.

It’s a ballad that really tugs at the heartstrings, so consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire!
