foreignerKUBOTA Saki
With lyrics and melody that spread the Silk Road out before your eyes, it was a song that captivated everyone.
I remember how her beautiful voice carried the piece into an even more mysterious realm.
To add an exotic touch, the folk instrument dulcimer was also used in the track.
The title, “Stranger,” left a strong impression and helped lead it to become a major hit.
Let’s Go Home ~My Sweet Home~Takeuchi Mariya
A single released from the 1992 album Quiet Life.
Since it was also used as a TV drama theme song and in commercials, many people probably picked it up and learned it naturally.
Its lyrics may resonate even more now than they did back when our days were so busy.
It’s a song you can sing along to while recalling those dramas and commercials—and one that really gets the crowd going.
Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki
This is the song Yuki Koyanagi debuted with in 1999, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Some of you might have listened to this track on repeat, right? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot tend to stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch! So don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the pitch jumps up quickly from the chorus into the C section, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.
The accompaniment is solid, so you should still be able to sing it coolly even if you lower the key.
Overall, there’s no need to belt—sing with a light touch, keeping a head-voice feel in mind, and give it a try.
Wedding bellSugar
This song is the debut single by the girl group Sugar, released in 1981.
All three members performed in a self-accompanied style, and the gap between the beautiful harmonies at the beginning and the sarcastic, biting lyrics really resonated with listeners, making it a big hit.
If you sing it at karaoke, it’d be great to harmonize on the opening part if possible.
for you…Takahashi Mariko
Mariko Takahashi has delivered many songs for grown-ups, and she still has many fans today.
This song, released in 1982, is a classic that moved countless people to tears.
Many women also resonated with the lyrics.
From her days with Pedro & Capricious, her magnificent voice captivated listeners.
It’s a song that will be sung for generations.
