A Cruel Angel's ThesisTakahashi Yoko

This classic song by Yoko Takahashi became a huge hit as an anime opening theme.

Its powerful vocals and memorable melody capture listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.

Released in October 1995, it has been cherished by many as the anime’s theme song.

The track carries messages of hope for the future and self-realization, giving courage to those who listen.

It’s also a popular choice for karaoke, so why not give it a try? If you sing it with passion, it’s sure to resonate deeply.

Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii

This was Pink Lady’s fourth single overall, released on June 10, 1977.

Since it was a song by Pink Lady at the height of their popularity, I imagine that, as of 2022 when this piece is being written, many women in their 50s have sung this song at least once.

I myself am in my mid-50s now, and I clearly remember how, back when I was in elementary school, lots of girls in my class would line up and sing and dance to this song.

When you sing it at karaoke, be sure to recall the choreography and enjoy performing it with the moves! The duo’s harmonies from the B section onward aren’t that difficult, so if you can recreate them and sing along, that’s the best!

Passionsaitou yuki

This song, which sings about the heartache of a bittersweet breakup, captivates with Yuki Saito’s translucent vocals and lyrics that resonate deeply.

It portrays the complex emotions of a girl facing the end of a romance, expressed through a passionate melody.

Released in November 1985, it reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was also used as the theme song for the film “A Fragment of Snow.” It’s a recommended track for anyone who has experienced parting with someone dear or wants to feel the poignancy of love.

Sing it at karaoke, and it will surely become a memory that lingers in your heart.

This is the fourth digital single by the three-woman rock band SARD UNDERGROUND, released in July 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TOKYO MX drama “Sono Kekkon, Shouki Desu ka?” (Are You Sane to Marry?).

As SARD UNDERGROUND originated as a ZARD tribute band, the song strongly reflects ZARD’s style.

The vocal melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, making it a tune many people can casually hum along to.

Throughout the song, singing lightly and without tension is the key to making it sound good, so please give it a try.

Wanted (Most Wanted / Wanted Person / Wanted Poster)pinku redii

Released in September 1975, this was the fifth single by Pink Lady, the Japanese big-time idol duo that could now justly be called “legendary.” They had been scoring major hits since their debut song “Pepper Keibu,” and with this track they made their first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

That said, as of December 2022 when this piece is being written, for women in their 50s, such explanations are probably unnecessary—this is a classic of the Showa era! I imagine many of you sang and danced to this song at school parties back in elementary or junior high.

The vocal melody is very simple and easy to sing, so by all means, take a trip down memory lane and enjoy recreating the choreography as well!
