Loved by anyoneYamauchi Keisuke
“Dare ni Aisaretemo” (Loved by Anyone) is a single released in 2022 by Keisuke Yamauchi, with lyrics by Masao Urino, a prolific songwriter who has produced countless classics since the Showa era.
It’s a romantic and dramatic, quintessential kayōkyoku number that highlights Yamauchi’s sultry vocals; many people have likely added it to their karaoke repertoire.
While it doesn’t feature astonishingly high notes, the overall range is quite wide, so be sure to learn the melody thoroughly—moving confidently between the low and high notes—before tackling it at karaoke.
The enka-style kobushi (ornamental vocal turns) are kept modest, making it relatively approachable for those who find that technique difficult.
For whomYamazaki Ikusaburo
It seems he graduated from the Vocal Music Department of Toho High School attached to Toho College of Music and withdrew from the Vocal Performance Course at Tokyo College of Music, and he offers a wonderful singing voice grounded in solid fundamentals.
It’s no surprise he is also very active on musical theater stages—his voice makes that clear.
In one of his signature songs, “Taga Tame,” especially in the chorus where the song title is sung, he delivers soaring high notes that skillfully make full use of the resonance of the body cavities, and he demonstrates extremely high-level vocal expression by accurately switching between subtle vocal techniques.
He’s an actor who truly makes you think, “I want to see his musical performances live!”
I love youOkamura Yasuyuki
The title “Daisuki” says it all—this is Yasuyuki Okamura’s heart-throbbing love song.
Released in 1988, it portrays a date with a beloved girlfriend.
No matter how beautiful the scenery or how delicious the food, the one I love most is my girl—this song expresses that straightforward love.
Some people now in their forties, who were students back then, may have had a girlfriend they loved more than anyone, just like the song’s protagonist.
Why not listen to it again and relive those sweet and bittersweet memories?

It’s okay.Kawashima Ai
Ai Kawashima, known for her work as the vocalist of I WiSH and for hit songs like “Ashita e no Tobira” and “Tabidachi no Hi ni…”.
This song is one she released in 2009 and was chosen as the theme song for the film “Symphony in August: Shibuya 2002–2003.” Parenting doesn’t always go exactly as ideally planned, does it? Many parents have probably had experiences of crying together with their children.
This song stays close to you, saying, “You’re doing enough,” and helps shift your feelings in a positive direction.
Great TriangleKawashima Ai
A song by Ai Kawashima, notable for its transparent vocals and bright sound arrangement.
