Playback part 2Yamaguchi Momoe
Here’s a song by Momoe Yamaguchi released in 1978.
It’s a collaboration by the pair Yohko Aki and Ryudo Uzaki.
The lyrics even reference a hit song by Kenji Sawada from that time, showcasing the stylish flair of the era’s kayōkyoku.
The guitar is used effectively and sounds really cool, too.
But when you think that Momoe was still a teenager when she sang this, you can’t help but feel she was an artist with an incredibly mature aura.
If you enjoy this wonderful Showa-era classic at karaoke, it’ll definitely get the crowd going.
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is their signature song, which paved the way for women’s rock bands in the ’80s! Everyone was hooked, and many young people formed girls’ bands.
They were the first all-female band to perform at the Nippon Budokan, becoming pioneers of girls’ bands in both name and reality.
Today, people of all ages form bands and have fun, and this song of theirs still gets the crowd going.
Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko
She epitomized idols of the ’80s—no, it’s not an exaggeration to call her a songstress.
The first time I saw her performing “Aoi Sangoshō,” I was stunned.
That endlessly clear voice, that captivating beauty.
She’s still going strong today, but back then she had an aura that instantly enchanted everyone.
Her singing was exceptional, and this song in particular—paired with her voice—had the power to warp anyone straight to a southern island (lol).
Ah, heartlessAn Ruisu
Ann Lewis is a rock singer whose raw vocals earned her strong support not only from women but also from men.
She has many classic songs, but in particular, “Aa Mujō” really showcases her rough, gritty voice.
The vocal range is slightly broad for an Ann Lewis song at about mid1 G to hi C, but compared with typical songs, it’s actually on the narrower side.
However, because the song is characterized by shout-style singing, it has a distinctive difficulty that’s different from a standard hi C.
Even so, the vocal line’s contour is relatively gentle for rock, so overall it’s a song that’s fairly easy to sing.
It’s fantastic for getting the crowd excited, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
La La LaDaikoku Maki
This is Maki Ohguro’s 10th single, released in 1995, and it was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Aji Ichimonme.” Maki Ohguro is known for her powerful vocals, but this song also conveys a somewhat heartwarming atmosphere.
The 1990s were an era when karaoke popularity was highly valued.
This song, too, features an easy-to-remember melody and rhythm, making it simple to hum along to.
The chorus is especially memorable, and it might be fun for everyone present to sing it together.
If you have a chance to go to karaoke, why not give this song a try?
