Collection of Songs with Titles Starting with “Do” [Solo Karaoke • Song Title Shiritori] (111–120)

DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY

ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.

Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.

Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.

DUA・RHYTHMChevon

Chevon will release this ambitious work in May 2025, featuring an experimental sound woven from a heavy bassline and intricate rhythms.

For the April–June 2025 season, Chevon provided the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “#Dame Mane!” in collaboration with Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, boosting their media presence.

It’s a perfect track for listeners seeking a stimulating everyday music experience or those who gravitate toward songs with deep, meaningful messages.

Along with nostalgic memories, it’s a song that older adults are sure to enjoy, perfect for singing and dancing at Bon Odori and senior gatherings.
