Words of FarewellKaientai
Rather than explaining that it was Kaientai’s 16th single released in November 1979, it’s quicker to say it was the theme song for the first season of the smash-hit drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3B” (3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei) [laughs].
As of 2020, I think most people in their 50s probably sang this song at their elementary or junior high school graduation.
Of course, many people watched the drama as well.
It’s a song that holds personal “memories” for each listener, so try singing it with that sense of nostalgia.
The melody is very straightforward and easy to sing, too.
If I were to give one tip, I’d say you’ll probably get a better reception if you avoid imitating Tetsuya Takeda’s singing style too closely.
Ruby RingTerao Akira
“Ruby no Yubiwa” is a classic song known for its poignant melody and lyrics that nostalgically recall a lost love.
Released in February 1981, it became a massive hit, topping the Oricon chart for 10 consecutive weeks.
Akira Terao’s distinctive husky voice beautifully conveys the pain and lingering feelings of heartbreak.
The chorus, which incorporates key changes, isn’t very difficult, so even those without strong confidence in their singing can handle it well.
Those with lower voices can capture the feel of the original more closely, while those with higher voices may want to raise the key.
As a quintessential heartbreak song, it continues to be loved by many to this day.
Embracing SummerTUBE
With a sound that evokes clear blue skies and a shining sun, this is a quintessential summer song from TUBE.
It expresses a love so intense it keeps you up at night, conveyed through passionate lyrics and melody.
The protagonist’s once-in-a-lifetime feelings are sure to awaken bittersweet memories of love that many have experienced.
Released in May 1994, it was a massive hit, reaching No.
1 on the Oricon charts and selling 940,000 copies.
It was also featured in a Toyota Corolla Ceres commercial and has become a karaoke staple beloved by many.
It’s the perfect track for reminiscing with close friends or colleagues as you look back together on life’s milestones.
The seasons change only you.BOØWY
BOØWY’s classic song “Kisetsu ga Kimi Dake wo Kaeru” (“The Seasons Change Only You”).
They’ve produced many hit numbers, and while this piece may be less well-known than some of their signature works, it continues to enjoy enduring popularity among many devoted fans even today.
The easiest point for singing this song is, above all, that it doesn’t require powerful vocals.
This is true of BOØWY’s music in general: while maintaining high energy, the overall volume is kept restrained.
In addition, the vocal range is narrow, so even men in their 50s should be able to sing it without difficulty.
Do whatever the hell you want.sawada kenji
This was Kenji Sawada’s (Julie’s) 19th single overall, released in May 1977.
By now—as of 2023, when I’m writing this—it’s an undisputed masterpiece of Showa-era pop for anyone in their 50s! The moment in the chorus where Sawada throws off his hat was unforgettable.
I still vividly remember putting on makeup to look just like Julie and singing this song at my elementary school party.
It’s a very singable, upbeat number, so by all means try copying the choreography and have fun singing along.
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
This is Southern All Stars’ third single, originally released in March 1979.
The song was used in the final installment of the TBS drama series “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi,” titled “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi IV,” which led to its re-release in 1997.
It’s another undisputed Showa-era ballad—a masterpiece among Southern’s ballads! The vocal melody is very easy to sing and remember, so even people who don’t usually sing can probably hum along and enjoy it at karaoke.
Doing a Kuwata-style impersonation while singing could be fun too!
SPARKTHE YELLOW MONKEY
A rock number by THE YELLOW MONKEY that sings of passionate love.
It paints a worldview where you close your eyes and share a space for just the two of you in the night, infusing sensual expressions with a pure heart that longs for eternal love.
The energetic guitar riffs and rhythm section are striking, and Kazuya Yoshii’s distinctive vocals ring out over the dynamic sound.
Released in July 1996, the song drew attention as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Handsome Man.” It’s also included on the album SICKS and reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Perfect for karaoke with friends, it’s a track brimming with a charm that lets everyone open their hearts and sing along.
