MY MARINE MARILYNYamamoto Tatsuhiko
Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, a singer who gained popularity in the city pop scene in the 1980s.
Among the city pop of that era, many of his works leaned heavily toward mainstream pop, and he even released some American pop-style tracks.
Of all his songs, the one I especially recommend is “MY MARINE MARILYN.” It starts off with a city pop vibe, but as it builds toward the chorus, it takes on an American pop feel.
The vocal range is very narrow in every section, so it seems like a safe choice to sing at an after-party karaoke session.
The Wind RisesMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda has many famous songs.
While “Kaze Tachinu” is a somewhat lesser-known track, it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
Its relaxed tempo and a vocal line without intricate pitch fluctuations are appealing; although the melody is relatively high, anyone can sing it easily with the right key adjustment.
If there’s one point to watch out for, it’s the pre-chorus (the B section).
Because it features a high phrase with a relatively wide upward pitch movement, you’ll need to consciously track the pitch carefully.
A beautiful day for lifekawanaka miyuki
From her debut, Miyuki Kawanaka has been known for her distinctive, rich voice, and lately that voice has gained even more power and presence.
As a result, she’s been releasing more forceful songs as her career progresses.
One recommendation is Jinsei Biyori, released in 2024.
It features a powerful delivery with effective shouts.
While executing the shouts can be challenging, the song has few long sustained notes and doesn’t use rapid melismatic ornamentation (kobushi), so for those familiar with enka, it should be relatively easy to sing.
Alone in the twilightMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya is a leading Japanese singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.
For women in their 50s, she might be the perfect artist.
She has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Hitori in the Twilight.” It features a vocal line that showcases her signature Yuming style, yet the melody doesn’t jump drastically up and down, so it’s relatively easy to keep pitch.
The chorus raises the voltage all at once, but the overall range isn’t that wide, so if you choose the right key, even those with lower voices should be able to sing it without difficulty.
The Girl Who Leapt Through TimeHarada Tomoyo
Tomoyo Harada, who has also been highly active as an actress, has done wonderful work as an artist and has produced numerous classic songs.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
With lyrics and composition by Yumi Matsutoya, it features a gentle melody and vocal line throughout.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, so even those who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it comfortably by adjusting the key.
As time goes bysawada kenji
Kenji Sawada, an idol who represents the Showa era.
He’s an artist for whom the word “charisma” fits perfectly.
Among his many famous songs, the one I especially recommend is “As Time Goes By.” It’s a track that exudes Showa-era allure and conveys a passionate, romantic feel, yet it has a narrow vocal range and the pitch is easy to catch, so even women in their 50s who struggle with pitch should find it easy to sing.
Since the original key may be hard to project in, make sure to figure out your own key before you sing.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the WindYasuda Narumi
Narumi Yasuda, known as the wife of Noritake Kinashi, is also widely recognized as an actress.
However, she actually began performing as a singer shortly after her debut.
Her biggest hit song is this one: “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.” Since it’s the theme song of the film, many people likely remember it well.
Because Yasuda is not primarily a singer, the vocal range is quite limited, and there aren’t any lines that require complex melodic rises and falls.
The chord progression is somewhat unusual, but aside from that there aren’t any particularly difficult points, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
