Study SongMoritaka Chisato
Actress Chisato Moritaka, who gained popularity from the 1980s to the 1990s.
She has left behind many classic songs as a singer as well, but among them, the one I especially recommend to women in their 40s is Study Song.
As the title suggests, it’s literally a song that encourages studying, and for women in their 40s who were students back then, it may be particularly memorable.
Since this piece isn’t a song performed by a professional singer, the vocal line is calm and relatively even, without many ups and downs.
The vocal range is also quite narrow, so it should be easy enough to sing even at a third-round after-party.

The track dates from the same period as his debut album, “Pretty Jones,” and holds an important place in showcasing his growth as an artist.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to express their feelings to a lover candidly or who are seeking a realistic portrayal of love.
Lord Vegeta’s Cooking Hell!! — The “Okonomiyaki” Arc —Bejiita (CV: Horikawa Ryo)
Is there anyone who can listen to this song for the first time and feel nothing, I wonder…? Even among the hugely popular characters in the national phenomenon Dragon Ball, this is an official, dead-serious song where Vegeta sings about how to make okonomiyaki.
It was included on Dragon Ball Z Hit Song Collection 8: Characters Special 2, released in 1991, and of course it’s sung by Ryo Horikawa, Vegeta’s voice actor.
If you know the character of Vegeta, it’s impossible not to laugh.
The 1990s were also an era when the culture of character songs performed by voice actors truly blossomed, producing many masterpieces and oddities alike.
Even among them, this track stands out with an undeniable presence as a bizarre anti-classic, and it continues to shock younger generations in various ways.
