back number – Bouquet (Short ver.)

This is a song that expresses the feelings of a couple on the verge of marriage from both perspectives.

The lyrics are like a back-and-forth between a man and a woman, as if they’re confirming each other’s sincerity.

A friend of mine said they played this song in the background as a surprise during their proposal.

Kiroro - For a Long Time

It’s a popular song that many celebrities have performed as karaoke on TV shows.

Because the track has few layers of instruments, there’s nowhere to hide, so a high level of vocal ability is required.

Conversely, it’s also a song that makes it easy to showcase your singing skills, so many women choose it as their go-to song when competing at karaoke.

PUFFY – True Asia

This is a signature song by PUFFY, the original laid-back female vocal duo.

While it sounds relaxed, keeping the melody line steady is actually difficult, making it a technically demanding track to pull off stylishly.

It shines especially if you have a distinctive vocal timbre rather than sheer powerhouse vocals.

“I love you.” This song, expressed from a male perspective, conveys the feeling that nothing more is needed beyond that simple truth for one woman.

It makes you hope to meet someone to whom you’d want to give your all, and if you’ve already met that person, it makes you want to cherish them.
