In the Sun and the DustCHAGE and ASKA
Their 26th single, “In the Sun and Dust,” which has multiple tie-ins including serving as the theme song for Nissin Foods’ “Cup Noodles Red Zone” commercial.
Crafted with the image of a youth anthem, the track leaves a strong impression with its dramatic melody and lyrics.
The melody itself is simple and easy to remember, but since the key gradually rises toward the chorus, be mindful of dynamics and pacing.
While there are points to watch out for, the tempo is relaxed, making it a number that should be relatively easy to tackle at karaoke.
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
It’s one of Yutaka Ozaki’s signature songs, expressing love for someone dear in a bittersweet atmosphere.
It was included on the 1983 album “Seventeen’s Map” and later released as a single in 1991.
The song has been cherished for years, appearing as an insert song in films and dramas and in numerous commercials.
Its band sound, centered on piano and steeped in melancholy, highlights the deep affection portrayed in the lyrics.
With a gentle tempo and a vocal line with gradual rises and falls, it’s easy to sing—allowing you to convey your feelings softly and tenderly.
GraduationOzaki Yutaka
It’s a song with a refreshing vibe that portrays youthful defiance against adults and the feeling of sprinting full speed through adolescence.
Released as a lead single ahead of the 1985 album “Kaikisen,” it’s one of Yutaka Ozaki’s signature tracks.
The piano-centered sound meshes with lyrics depicting scenes at school, powerfully evoking images of youth.
The conversational singing style, which conveys a sense of nostalgia for days spent with a rebellious spirit, also makes it easy to sing.
Since the melodic rises and falls are gentle, focus on expressing the emotions embedded in the lyrics as you sing.
Sad personNakamura Masatoshi
A masterpiece by Masatoshi Nakamura that strikes the heart with its warm yet wistful melody and poignant lyrics.
Released in August 1999 and used as the theme song for the drama “Metropolitan Police Department Forensics Team,” the piece is a gentle ballad that nevertheless leaves a profound emotional impact.
Its lyrics, rich with messages that comfort those facing sorrow and loneliness, resonate deeply with listeners.
With a moderate vocal range and few long sustained notes, it’s an easy song to try even for men in their 50s who aren’t confident singers.
Precisely because this generation often stands at life’s crossroads, the song may offer courage and hope.
Solitary BloomCHAGE and ASKA
It was the debut single by Chage & Aska (now CHAGE & ASKA), released in August 1979.
For those in their 50s as of 2022, this is surely one of the classic songs of the New Music era! It’s a slow-tempo ballad with a very beautiful melody, so be sure to sing each word of the lyrics and each note with great care.
When you sing it, make a clear contrast between the quiet backing in the first half and the section in the latter half where the rhythm kicks in.
If you take your time and really savor the title call at the end of each chorus, it’ll feel just right!
ChinatownYazawa Eikichi
Eikichi Yazawa has produced many classic songs over the years.
There are likely many men in their 60s who have been fans since the Carol era.
Among his tracks, one I especially recommend is Chinatown.
The song’s vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 B to mid2 G#.
If you’re just following the pitch, it should be quite manageable.
However, because Yazawa employs a shout-infused singing style, trying to imitate that can make the difficulty skyrocket.
So, rather than sticking too closely to the original, aim to sing it in a comfortable key for you.
Go-Go HeavenŌsawa Yoshiyuki
Speaking of Yoshiyuki Osawa, I think his songs are memorable for their black music flavor that subtly evokes R&B.
Those kinds of tracks often feature rhythms uncommon in Japanese pop, making them fairly challenging.
However, “Go Go Heaven” is different.
As one of Osawa’s songs, this work is crafted as a particularly orthodox rock number.
While the range reaches from mid2A to hiA and is on the higher side, the overall range is narrow, making key adjustments easy and giving it outstanding singability.
With its upbeat, straightforward rhythm, it ranks among the most crowd-energizing songs in Osawa’s catalog.
