Because the vocal range is narrow, it’s easy to sing if you set a key that suits you, but be mindful of the contrast in dynamics between the verse and the chorus.
As a universally known classic, it’s sure to be a hit at karaoke—a signature hit tune that represents the 1990s J-pop scene.

You are freeCHAGE and ASKA
Re-cut from the 16th album “RED HILL” and used as the commercial song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ “J.O.”, the 33rd single “You are free” features an emotional blend of 1990s R&B and 14 Karat Soul’s choral work.
With many repeated patterns and melodies that move on the same pitch, and a relatively narrow vocal range, it should be easy to memorize and sing.
However, since the tempo is quite relaxed, be mindful of the beat so you don’t fall out of rhythm.
Like wild strawberries swayingCHAGE and ASKA
Included on the 15th album “GUYS,” the song “As Wild Strawberries Sway” was used the following year, in 1993, as a theme for a Japan Airlines image commercial.
The lyrics, said to be written to the artist’s future self under the theme of “looking back on the past,” are likely to resonate with many listeners who see themselves in them.
The relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing calmly, but be careful with the occasional melodic leaps, which can cause pitch inaccuracies.
Also, if you don’t stay mindful of the bouncy feel of the shuffle beat, the mood can change, so in karaoke, be sure to listen closely to the ensemble as you sing.
