you areArche
Arche is a female singer-songwriter who’s gaining attention for her music rooted in hip-hop and neo-soul.
Her artist name is pronounced “Arki.” Although she has a remarkably powerful voice that feels beyond typical for Japan, her song “you are” is quite singable even if you’re not used to Western vocal styles.
It requires groove, but since it leans toward rap-like R&B, you won’t encounter difficult techniques like elaborate vocal runs.
In addition, the song is sung throughout in the low–mid to mid range, so women with lower, rhythmically solid voices should be able to sing it with ease.

A work by r-906, a Vocaloid producer known for advanced sound design.

The lyrics depict a world where reality and virtuality intersect, making it all the more captivating.

It’s a masterpiece that fully showcases Aimyon’s outstanding songwriting, which bridges the gap between folk songs and J-POP! “Yurayura” holds the position of a B-side to the 2020 smash hit “Naked Heart,” but it’s also performed at concerts, and footage has been released on her official YouTube channel—so be sure to check it out.
In terms of composition, the song features a very simple chord progression and an easy-to-follow melody that’s very singable.
There aren’t any particularly difficult parts, but if you keep a bouncy rhythm in mind while singing, it will sound even better, so definitely give it a try.

Incorporating a wide spectrum of genres from punk and melodic hardcore to hardcore, they boast a rich musicality made possible by twin vocals.

Let's meet in Yurakucho.Frank Nagai
This is a piece with an urban, sophisticated vibe that is truly captivating.
Set against the backdrop of department stores and tea rooms, it conjures up the lively scenes of the Showa era.
Showcasing the full charm of Frank Nagai, known for his baritone voice, it was released by Nippon Victor in 1957.
In 1958, it was also used in a film of the same name, which drew significant attention.
During the rainy season, when people spend more time indoors, this work—one that lets you share memories of the Showa period—is sure to warmly embrace the hearts of older adults.
Its gentle atmosphere encourages conversation and makes for an enjoyable time—truly a classic choice for music recreation.
humorTatsuya Kitani
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.
