TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS
A powerful portrayal of relentlessly sprinting toward one’s goals, this signature work by THE BLUE HEARTS is set in the real world—not a utopia or a hell—and boldly declares that life itself has meaning even if we can’t be perfect.
Released in November 1988, this track, which lends its name to the album TRAIN-TRAIN, uses piano for the first time in the band’s history to create a sense of exhilarating momentum and reached No.
5 on the Oricon singles chart.
In 1989, it was also chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “High School Rakugaki.” For those standing at a crossroads in life, this is a song that will be a powerful ally.
When you’re torn about a decision, let it be a source of courage that gives you a push forward.
MonicaYoshikawa Koji
This was Koji Kikkawa’s debut single, released in February 1984.
Listening to it now, I can’t help but grin—the sound is so quintessentially ‘80s that it’s almost laughable (in a good way).
His fashion was pure ‘80s, pure bubble-era Japan.
I bet many people in their 50s tried copying his hairstyle and outfits back then.
It’s a precious track that brings back memories of that fun era.
Even if you haven’t been to karaoke in ages, why not relive those days—sing it and have some fun!
Sync Of SummerYamashita Tatsuro
This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 53rd single, released in July 2023.
It was reportedly written specifically as a song for Kirin’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) commercial.
When you think of summer, you think of Tatsuro Yamashita!! That image, combined with the song’s title, makes this a summer anthem overflowing with his signature style that truly evokes the season.
The melody crafted with that trademark Yamashita touch doesn’t span a particularly wide vocal range, so it should be very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.
Throughout the song, it feels best not to overemote—sing it a bit bluntly, with a touch of nonchalance.
The Bride SambaGō Hiromi
It’s been loved for many years as a wedding song classic, hasn’t it? “Oyome Samba,” released as a single in 1981.
It features a lively, mood-lifting style and Hiromi Go’s vibrant vocals.
Some of you might even say it’s already your go-to karaoke number.
Though it has an upbeat vibe and sounds like it’s in a higher range, it’s actually surprisingly low.
If you want to liven up a big group karaoke session, this is the first song I’d recommend!

As a personKaientai
A song by Kaientai, the group that includes Tetsuya Takeda—who is also active as an actor—was used as the theme for the drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B,” starring Takeda himself.
With an acoustic sound that strongly evokes the atmosphere of folk music, it seems to balance both lightness and calm.
As the title suggests, the lyrics are compelling for their strong message, expressing the many shifts of emotion we experience as human beings.
It’s a song that invites you to sing with a gentle heart, reflecting on connections with others, so that the message of the lyrics is conveyed directly.
Like a white cloudsaruganseki
The comedy duo Saruganseki, made up of Hiroiki Ariyoshi and Kazunari Moriwaki.
The song that truly cemented their then idol-like popularity is, of course, Shiroi Yuki no Yō ni (Like White Snow).
As a composition, it’s a very orthodox J-pop number with a very narrow vocal range.
Since the two aren’t professional singers, the vocal lines present no real difficulty.
It’s also a crowd-pleaser at karaoke, so be sure to check it out.
Sly womanSha ran Q
This was Sharam Q’s seventh single, released in May 1995.
It came out during what could be called the peak of J-pop, and became a huge hit, selling over 1.4 million copies, so chances are most people have at least heard the chorus melody.
Back then, one of the key conditions for a hit song was that it be easy to sing at karaoke, and this track fits that mold—making it one of the best choices for people who aren’t confident singers.
If you have trouble with the high notes in the chorus where it flips into falsetto, try adjusting the key on the machine to match your range.
