It’s a song especially recommended for those who feel contradictions and inner struggles in their daily lives.
Bare-Bare ValentineNakagawa Kanon starring Toyama Nao
This is a perfect song for Valentine’s Day that sings about bittersweet young love.
It vividly portrays a maiden’s heart, torn between the desire to give chocolate to the person she likes and the embarrassment that holds her back.
Released in March 2012 as a character song from the anime The World God Only Knows II, its catchy melody and Kanon Nakagawa’s adorable vocals are sure to lift your spirits.
Listening to it may bring back memories of your school days, when you threw yourself wholeheartedly into love.
It’s recommended not only for those with an unrequited crush, but also for anyone who wants to reaffirm their feelings for someone special.
evening drinkNakamura Mitsuko
Mitsuko Nakamura’s poignant classic “Banshaku” (Evening Drink).
While she is renowned for her “man’s songs,” this piece is especially known as one of her most popular in that style.
True to Nakamura’s roots in the Kawachi Ondo tradition, the song primarily employs the hiccup technique, which flips the voice.
The ornamentation (kobushi) that uses this hiccup is less difficult than that of typical enka, resulting in a vocal line that’s easier for beginners to sing.
In addition, the tempo is particularly slow even among her works, and there are well-placed rests before executing the kobushi, which also makes it easier to perform.
A breakup like ripping off a Band-AidNogizaka 46
Nogizaka46 is a Japanese female idol group that debuted in 2011.
As of 2022, many of the original members have graduated, and the 5th generation is now in the spotlight.
Their 5th-generation song “Band-Aid Hagasuyouna Wakarekata” features a refreshingly expansive melody with a chorus that is quintessentially Nogizaka46, and it makes effective use of the “break” technique, where the sound briefly stops.
At the same time, it showcases a new, translucent side of Nogizaka46 that hasn’t been heard before, resulting in a wonderful track.
It’s a song I can recommend even to those who haven’t listened to Nogizaka46 in a while.

BalalaikaKusumi Koharu
Some people want to sing an upbeat song but aren’t comfortable with anything too intense.
In that case, I recommend Balalaika.
It’s known as the opening theme for the anime Kirarin Revolution.
The song is performed by Koharu Kusumi, a former Morning Musume member who also voiced the main character.
It features an exotic-sounding melody and lyrics that flow like tongue twisters.
Since many similar phrases appear in the lyrics, be careful not to mix them up.
Winter Gustshigoto shite P
For those who have known the Vocaloid scene since its early days, this work might come to mind as the quintessential “Japanese-style Vocaloid song.” Created by the Vocaloid producer Shigotoshite-P, it was released in 2014.
It’s a Japanese-inspired, mature duet by MEIKO and KAITO that makes you feel as if you’re standing in a gently cooling breeze as you listen.
The noble worldview of the lyrics, which evokes thoughts of eternity, is one of its charms.
By the way, the video introduced here is a rearranged version released in 2019.
Banana Parent and ChildSakushi: Seki Kazuo / Sakkyoku: Fukuda Wakako
“Banana no Oyako” is a fun song with elements of tongue twisters and wordplay.
Once you’ve learned the simple lyrics, be sure to enjoy playing with the words.
As you get used to it, speed it up little by little and see how far you can go—it’ll be a big hit! It would be great if both kids who are good at tongue twisters and those who find them a bit tricky can enjoy it together.
Even adults sometimes find it hard to say, so it’s helpful for the teacher to take the lead in “failing” on purpose or modeling how to take on a challenge.
The key is to give kids lots of chances to encounter and enjoy playful language.
