Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako
This is the debut single released by Takako Matsu when she was 19, even though she had already established herself as a popular actress.
Released in 1997, it became a hit, and she performed the song at that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The lyrics were written by the renowned screenwriter Yuji Sakamoto, while Daisuke Hinata—active globally as a music producer and keyboardist—handled composition and arrangement.
It’s a light, springtime pop song that fills you with warmth just by listening.
Different from the stunning vocals she showcased in Frozen, Matsu’s fresh, youthful voice here is soothing to the heart.
It also brings back memories of Namie Amuro covering the song on a TV show at the time.
It’s very easy to sing, so relax and enjoy singing it without overthinking.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
When it comes to singing at karaoke, it’s reassuring to choose songs everyone knows.
Hitoto Yo’s signature song “Hanamizuki” is perfect for that.
It consistently ranks near the top of karaoke popularity charts and is a beloved, moving pop classic.
Most men know it too, so it’s great for duets.
It’s a reliable number to keep in your repertoire.
Since it’s a slow song, it works really well in the early part of the session before the crowd warms up!
gentle feelingChara
Chara is a female singer who continues to captivate fans with lyrics spun from a unique perspective and her one-of-a-kind whispery voice.
Her 14th single, “Yasashii Kimochi,” used in Shiseido’s ‘T’Cera J’ commercial, remains a signature song that made her widely known and is still sung today.
Men in their 40s who likely heard it in real time may feel a sense of anticipation the moment it’s chosen at karaoke.
The cuter you sing it, the more the crowd gets excited—an ironclad, surefire song to attract attention, even from men.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
It’s one of the iconic cheer-up songs of the 1990s, and surely there are many women who, even after turning 40, still find strength in it.
Released in 1995 as Mayu Okamoto’s debut single, “TOMORROW” was a massive hit, selling over two million copies.
Even in the Reiwa era, it remains a universally beloved anthem.
The melody, delivered with Okamoto’s straightforward and clear voice, is very easy to sing, and it doesn’t include the high-note sections typical of many hits from that time, so even those with lower voices can feel at ease.
Since the song overall has a bouncy rhythm, it’s good to sing it with crisp articulation while paying attention to the dynamics of the melodic accents.
Soft scarCocco
Singer-songwriter Cocco, who was active in the 2000s.
For those in their early to mid-40s, she’s arguably a defining artist of their generation.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Yawaraka na Kizuato (Soft Scars).
It has the feel of straightforward J-pop, similar to what Aimyon represents today.
There’s a falsetto part toward the end of the chorus, but because it’s sung very softly, even those who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it without any trouble.
Between the Sky and YouNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima is a singer-songwriter who holds the remarkable record of topping the singles chart across four decades, from the 1970s through the 2000s.
Her 31st single, “Between the Sky and You,” released as a double A-side with “Fight!,” became a million-selling hit as the theme song for the TV drama “Homeless Child,” which stirred up a nationwide social phenomenon.
The sentimental story woven by her trademark powerful vocals brings scenes from the drama vividly to mind just by listening.
It’s an emotional number that’s sure to turn heads when you sing it at karaoke.
