dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
A massive hit by Yo Hitoto, whose warm lyrics continue to be loved by many! It was used as the theme song for the film Hanamizuki, which shares the same title and stars Yui Aragaki, and has also been featured in various TV programs and commercials.
With its calm and gentle melody, it’s an easy song to sing for people in their 50s and for any generation.

A dramatic number by Naomi Chiaki released in 1972! The protagonist of this song is a singer standing on stage, thinking of a lover who has passed away.
Many listeners may have overlapped its heartbreaking story with their own bittersweet romances from that time.
Immerse yourself in this song as you recall the loves you’ve experienced throughout your life.

Cotton HandkerchiefŌta Hiromi
A 1975 number by Hiromi Ohta that gained popularity with lyrics portraying a devoted girlfriend left behind in her hometown, worried about the boyfriend who headed off to the big city.
With Hiromi Ohta’s girlishly cute voice showing such concern, he must be delighted! As you look back on your own bittersweet romances from those days, try singing it as sweetly as any youngster!
Slow motionNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s debut song, still beloved by many fans today.
Her vocal tone is a bit brighter than it is now, but even so, the sophisticated, adult aura she exuded in her early twenties was a major part of her appeal.
Many people of the same generation were surely influenced by that vibe! Today, with an even richer, more seasoned maturity in her voice, she continues to captivate a wide audience of fans.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
TOMORROW,” Mayo Okamoto’s debut single and a major hit.
It’s a popular song across all generations and has even been featured in school textbooks.
Known as an uplifting cheer song, it starts right from the chorus, guaranteeing excitement from the very beginning!
BELIEVEMISIA
For more recent listeners, MISIA is probably strongly associated with being a classic, orthodox diva, but for women in their 40s, doesn’t she evoke more of an R&B singer image? Among her songs from that era, the one I especially recommend is BELIEVE.
Although the chorus features a high-pitched phrase with quite dramatic pitch jumps, most of the rest sits in the low-to-mid range.
Since there are repeated falsetto passages, if you’re not comfortable with head voice, try lowering the key before you tackle it.
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
Princess Princess, who skyrocketed to fame in 1988, were pioneers of the all-girl rock band scene and gained popularity under the nickname Puri-Puri.
They have many hit songs, but here I’d like to recommend “DIAMONDS,” an upbeat, surefire crowd-pleaser.
Be sure to join in with the call-and-response during the chorus!
