Let It GoIdina Menzel

Idina Menzel – Let It Go (from “Frozen”) (Sing-Along Version)

Idina Menzel, who has made her mark as a Broadway stage actress.

The song that made her famous as a singer thanks to her powerful vocals is this one.

It’s included on the soundtrack of a film that became a huge hit in 2013.

With themes of snow and winter, it’s a perfect track for a snowy night.

Her strong yet supple voice conveys messages of self-liberation and self-acceptance.

While the musical-style singing is memorable, it’s a song that can be performed if you have a certain level of vocal ability.

Recommended for times when you want to unleash your inner strength or need the courage to live as your true self.

Rhythm Of The RainThe Cascades

The CASCADES-Rhythm Of the Rain

The Japanese title is “Rhythm of the Rain.” It was released in 1962 by an American pop vocal group called The Cascades.

With its striking thunderclap in the intro, it’s the kind of song you’re sure to hear somewhere during the rainy season.

A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton

Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles

The hit song “A Thousand Miles” by popular singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton.

Even if you don’t know it in detail, many of you probably recognize the intro, right? This song is a classic pop tune.

To be frank, it’s incredibly easy to sing.

In Western music, there are melodies that feel unfamiliar to Japanese listeners, right? That’s what makes them hard.

But this song is different.

It’s packed with phrases you’d hear in Japanese pop.

In other words, it’s easy to sing even with a Japanese sense of rhythm and melody.

You don’t even need vibrato.

As long as you pay attention to pronunciation and how you start each phrase, anyone can sing it!

SpinninMadison Beer

Madison Beer – Spinnin (Official Video)

Madison Beer is a female singer-songwriter who has continued to gain popularity since the 2010s.

With model-like looks and a refined musical sensibility, she’s especially supported by people in their 20s in the English-speaking world.

Among her songs, I particularly recommend Spinnin.

This track has a slow, downtempo vibe and doesn’t require many techniques beyond controlling dynamics.

I think it’s very easy to sing even for those who are pitch-challenged.

It’s especially recommended if you like the kind of sound Billie Eilish is known for.

El Condor PasaSimon&Garfunkel

El Condor Pasa – Paul Simon & Garfunkel

The Japanese title is “El Condor Pasa (If I Could).” It’s an Andean folk song covered by the American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel.

Among S&G’s many hits, I recommend this one for the sense of expansiveness it evokes toward the sky.
