Anyway, the cool singing voice and the bouncy piano are wonderful.

Natsuko Nisshoku’s melodic sense and brilliant word choice really shine.

Rather than imitating her, singing as your true self might make the song’s qualities stand out even more.

It’s included on the album “Adult.” It was performed as the true final song at Tokyo Jihen’s last concert before disbanding.

Ringo Sheena’s world, where she masterfully sings a wide range of songs, shines in this track as well.

If you listen closely to the background instrumentation and the defining rhythms, and sing with the feel of performing with a band, you’ll be able to sing it really coolly!

She might be a quintessential example of a cool female vocalist in the Japanese music scene.

This is a smash-hit number by singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, who also serves as the frontwoman of the band Tokyo Jihen.

It was released in 2000 as her sixth single.

It’s a heartbreaking breakup song brimming with charm that goes far beyond what you could call “mature.” Try singing it with a bit of kobushi—the ornamental vibrato typical of enka—to bring out a cool edge.

Blue Moonayaka

Ayaka / Blue Moon – Lyric Video – (Grand Theme of “Tales of ARISE”) (Included on the album “LOVE CYCLE,” out 2.1)
Blue Moonayaka

Ayaka’s digital-only single, released on August 26, 2021.

It was written as the grand theme for the RPG Tales of Arise.

Ayaka has been highly praised for her vocal ability since her teenage debut, and in Blue Moon, released after she turned 30, her voice has grown even more mature, delivering an exceptionally captivating performance.

Reproducing this vocal expression in karaoke may be quite challenging, but precisely because of that, if you can sing it well, you’re sure to draw attention.

In particular, for the high notes sung in the original with a mix voice to falsetto, be careful not to sound rough—aim to sing them gently, softly, and with great care.

It starts with a beautiful piano solo, then quickly ramps up the voltage as it unfolds—a catchy track.

It’s a song by the Aichi-born pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai, released in 2019, and it served as the theme song for the drama “G-Line: You and I.” Haruko Nagaya’s bright, powerful vocals blow away any lingering gloom.

You’ll especially want to sing the chorus with gusto.

If you focus on opening your mouth wide, you might capture the vibe more closely.

It feels great if you can make it through the whole song!

The composer Keisuke Ogura, who created numerous beloved hits, wrote both the lyrics and music, crafting it specifically for a commercial song for the seasoning brand Ajinomoto.

It has been covered by countless artists, including Keisuke Kuwata and Yo Hitoto, which shows just how cherished “Ai Sansan” is.
