Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
This song is imbued with a warm gaze and deep respect for people who usually remain out of the spotlight.
Miyuki Nakajima portrays those who strive to live in places where no one looks, using beautiful metaphors.
It is an ode to unsung heroes who keep making efforts in various places, shining like stars in everyday life.
Released in July 2000, the piece was chosen as the theme song for NHK’s documentary program Project X: Challengers, and together with the program’s moving content, it deeply resonated with many viewers.
It set a record by staying on Oricon’s Weekly Singles Chart for 174 consecutive weeks.
It is a song that gives you a powerful push forward in those moments when the pressures of daily life make you want to stop.
Happy endingOhtaki Eiichi
Eiichi Ohtaki was a music producer who gained popularity for his unique style that mixed American pop with Showa-era kayōkyoku.
He was one of the artists who laid the foundation for city pop, a Japanese music genre renowned worldwide, and he also left behind several masterpieces as a singer-songwriter.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Shiawase na Ketsumatsu (A Happy Ending).
While the track features a soaring vocal style reminiscent of Tatsuro Yamashita, its vocal range is quite narrow and the melodic contours are gentle, making it easy to sing well regardless of your voice type.
However, because it contains many long sustained notes, you should be careful with your breathing—despite not requiring a powerful volume.
Be sure to steady your breath before each entrance and sing with that awareness.
homeKiyama Yusaku
An inspiring ballad filled with a father’s warm love and his hopes for his child’s growth has been delivered by Yusaku Kiyama.
His gentle, soothing vocals convey deep affection for family, and though the storytelling is simple, it leaves a lasting resonance in the listener’s heart.
Released in February 2008, the song was selected as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “UtaSta!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” and it also earned a spot in the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that same year.
It’s a great choice for karaoke when you want to reflect on family memories or express gratitude to someone special.
Like softly returning a handclasp under a bright sky, it’s a song wrapped in kindness.
I know it’s bothersome, but…Tonneruzu
Now firmly established as legendary comedians and a vocal duo that has released numerous classic songs, Tunnels delivered their 11th single, “Meiwaku Deshou ga…” (“Sorry for the Trouble…”), which was even covered by Hiroshi Itsuki.
It’s a track where the spoken monologue evokes the TV drama ‘Zenryaku Ofukuro-sama,’ and deserves special attention.
The blend of Takaaki Ishibashi’s and Noritake Kinashi’s distinct voices rides a melody that perfectly suits its wistful arrangement.
It’s a lyrical ballad that belies its origins as a comic song.
It was spring, wasn’t it?yoshida takurou
An uptempo track that sets the tone for the fourth album “Genki Desu,” released in 1972.
Takuro’s cool vocals breezily sing of the fleeting nature of love.
With an extremely low range—its lowest note is mid1 A#—this song is a godsend for men with lower voices.
While the dense lyrics and quick delivery can be a bit challenging, its comfortable, soothing sense of drive makes it easy to sing! Perfect for spring karaoke or when you want to get hyped with one of Takuro’s rock numbers.
March Toward TomorrowKuwata Keisuke
It’s a cheer song that lightly calls on us to move toward a happy future, filled with a bright sense of hope.
After being used as an NTT Docomo commercial song in 2011, it was also featured in a Uniqlo commercial in 2021.
It’s said to have been written with hopes for the recovery of areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and its light sound evokes an image of trying to ease painful feelings.
The gentle yet buoyant tempo makes it easy to sing, and singing it in a relaxed manner may further enhance the song’s atmosphere.
Final Chapter (Epilogue)CHAGE and ASKA
CHAGE & ASKA’s classic song, “Final Chapter (Epilogue).” This piece was composed by CHAGE.
Compared to ASKA’s compositions, CHAGE’s tend to be more catchy, featuring singable vocal lines.
In this song, the vocal line is lyrically expressive and filled with poignancy, yet the overall structure is very simple.
There aren’t dramatic leaps in pitch, and the range isn’t particularly wide, making it an easy song to sing.
Give it a try.
