Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenKawashima Eigo
This is a socially conscious masterpiece that portrays the subtle miscommunications between men and women and the nuances of emotional expression with deep insight.
It warmly observes how men open up through drinking and women through tears, each revealing their inner feelings.
Born from impressions Eigo Kawashima had at age 18 during a family memorial gathering, the song was included on the November 1975 album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and released as a single in June 1976.
Also known as the jingle for the sake brand Kizakura, it became a major hit, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It is a gem I recommend to anyone who wants to face their heart honestly when confronted with life’s sorrow and poignancy.
In the night sky after the rainImawano Kiyoshirō
Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.
Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.
While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.
The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi
This is Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, released in October 1992.
It’s such a classic among J-pop Christmas songs that it hardly needs any explanation! I doubt there’s anyone who hasn’t heard it.
In fact, as of December 2023, it remains Inagaki’s biggest hit.
Of course, the primary reason for its massive success is the song’s inherent appeal, but it’s also very karaoke-friendly, which has helped many people sing it over the years.
The melody is very easy to sing as well, so when you perform it, pay attention to how you handle each phrase—where to hold notes, where to cut them, and so on.
YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA
This is the 31st single by CHAGE&ASKA (now CHAGE and ASKA), released in March 1993.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV Wednesday drama series “If You Turn Around, He’s There,” starring Yuji Oda, and became a huge hit, recording double million sales.
The slightly wild lyrics are also memorable, aren’t they? When singing it at karaoke, I don’t think there are any particularly difficult parts in terms of melody or rhythm, but please sing the high notes in the chorus powerfully, doing your best not to lose vocal brightness.
Since the chorus has a refreshing sense of openness, try to sing with as little constriction in your voice as possible.
The Beatles I saw were inside the TV.Saitō Kazuyoshi
It’s a message song that sings, with both irony and sincerity, about one’s feelings toward the era they live in—an honest, true-to-life piece.
“The Beatles I Saw Were on TV” is the debut single, released in 1993.
After appearing on the music audition program “Saturday My Family’s TV: Yuji Miyake’s Tenka Gomen ne!”, Saito won the right to make a major-label debut, and this was the track that came out of it.
The song carries a bittersweet mood, yet somehow leaves you feeling refreshingly clear at the end.
It’s a male-vocal number, but I think it’s easy for women to sing as well.

Thank youKuwata Keisuke
It’s a song that reflects on the scenery of one’s hometown and the people who supported you there, speaking heartfelt gratitude straight from the heart.
It was included as the closing track on the 2002 album “ROCK AND ROLL HERO.” It has been said that the song was written with feelings for Chigasaki—a place of great importance to Keisuke Kuwata—and with thanks to the people involved.
The gentle, piano-centered arrangement paired with expansive, expressive vocals is memorable, evoking the warmth of a choral piece.
Imagining a choral singing style that delivers the words plainly and directly should make it easier to sing.
Seventeen-Year-Old’s MapOzaki Yutaka
This is one of the signature songs by Yutaka Ozaki, a singer-songwriter who speaks for the hearts of young people.
Its driving, high-energy sound is striking, and it seems to convey not only strength but also the sense of impatience that resides within youth.
The lyrics are also a major draw, expressing in a straightforward way the unstable emotions of a 17-year-old in the midst of the transition from child to adult.
When singing it, you’ll want to keep in mind the song’s momentum, which feels like the cry of a young person’s heart.
It’s a track that exudes a power that stirs the soul.
