Dramatic RainInagaki Junichi
Junichi Inagaki’s classic “Dramatic Rain.” This song is one of his hits, released in 1982.
It features a melody that evokes the urban night, a trend at the time.
While many of Inagaki’s songs are known for their wide vocal range, this one is surprisingly modest in that regard.
Even so, it retains a sultry, sophisticated mood, making it a great choice for those who aren’t confident singers but want to exude mature allure.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
You are freeCHAGE and ASKA
The 33rd single “You are free,” recut from the 16th album RED HILL, was featured as the commercial song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ J.O.
It’s emotionally charged, with a sound that incorporates 1990s R&B and choral work by 14 Carat Soul.
With many repeated patterns and melodies that progress on the same pitch, and a not-so-wide vocal range, it’s easy to remember and sing.
However, because the tempo is quite relaxed, be mindful of the beat so you don’t fall out of rhythm.

Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki
Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.
While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.
That said, it preserves the charm of the original.
Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.
Your eyes are 10,000 voltsHoriuchi Takao
This was a solo single by Takao Horiuchi, a member of Alice—the popular New Music trio from the Showa era—released in August 1978.
It was used as a Shiseido cosmetics campaign song that same year and became a massive hit, selling over 900,000 copies.
Since the commercial aired frequently at the time of release, I imagine many of you will find it familiar.
The vocal melody is simple and easy to hum, so please enjoy by joining in a big sing-along—especially on the chorus!
In the Middle of a DreamKisugi Takao
Takao Kisugi is a singer-songwriter who also flourished as a composer.
He has created numerous masterpieces, and among them, the one I especially recommend is Yume no Tochu.
While grounded in Showa-era kayōkyoku, this song blends in elements of adult contemporary, resulting in a distinctive style.
It’s not old-fashioned, but the vocal lines that evoke the Showa vibe make it very easy to sing, so I highly recommend it.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Before anything else, from atop the roadIsseifubi Sepia
This track, distinguished by lively festival-like drums and flutes, weaves in themes that deeply reflect on the meaning of life and personal values through scenes of nature.
While questioning the purpose of living and our reason for being, it delivers a powerful message of courage and hope in the face of hardship.
Released in June 1984 as the debut single of Ikkyo Fubi Sepia, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon charts.
It was also used in commercials for SUZUKI’s scooter “Love THREE” and Kirin Beer’s “Kirin Shochu Tanrei Straight,” gaining popularity across a wide audience.
It’s a song that gives you the strength to face forward and keep walking when you’re at a crossroads in life, feeling lost or anxious.
interaction; friendly contact; bondingNakamura Masatoshi
Among the songs we’re introducing this time, one of the easiest to sing is Fureai.
It’s a popular number by Masatoshi Nakamura, who was also hugely successful as an actor.
Although the song carries a somber mood, its vocal line is very simple.
It generally sits in the mid-to-low to low range, with an overall average vocal range.
That alone might not make it seem particularly easy, but the biggest reason it’s so singable lies in the required volume.
Because the original is sung very softly, even the higher parts are easy to produce.
It’s a somewhat mature pick, so it’s a good choice to sing at karaoke when there are more men in the group.
