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.
Weather Forecast LoverCHAGE and ASKA
“Tenki Yohou no Koibito” is the song that played in the final episode of a TV drama broadcast in the so‑called Monday 9 p.m.
slot in 2000.
It was included on an album released in 1989.
Its warm tempo and melody make it easy to remember and sing.
The bittersweet lyrics can bring tears to your eyes even as you sing.
In addition to the duo’s harmonies, female backing vocals are used, so even when you sing it solo at karaoke you can enjoy a luxurious feel.
Be sure to practice and give it a try!
Lovers Are Wine-ColoredCHAGE and ASKA
The 20th single, “Koibito wa Wine-iro” (“My Lover Is Wine-Colored”), was released as an advance single from the 10th album, RHAPSODY.
It was issued as a double A-side with “Akirame no Blue Day” and was used as the theme song for the TV drama Abunai Zakkyo Couple.
With its relaxed melody and tempo and a relatively narrow vocal range, it’s also recommended for karaoke.
If the key feels too high, adjust it to suit your voice; since there aren’t any big interval jumps, it becomes easier to sing, so give it a try.
Goodbye to sorrowanzenchitai
This is one of Anzen Chitai’s signature songs, noted for its seductive vocals and gentle, soothing sound.
In 1985, the band made their first appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen with this song, and its many cover versions by other artists attest to its enduring popularity.
While Koji Tamaki’s alluring vocal tone may make the song seem challenging to sing, its slow tempo and relatively moderate melodic range are key points to focus on.
It’s important to sing with care for the lyrics’ message—gently, with emotion, as if conveying the story from the heart.
Hold On MeKohiruimaki Kahoru
Kahoru Kohiruimaki is a female singer who garnered popularity for her strikingly low, cool vocal timbre and soulful singing.
It was an exceptional achievement for a Japanese artist at the time that she was recognized by figures like Maurice White and Prince.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Hold On Me.
While the track carries hints of soul and R&B, the vocal lines themselves contain elements of Showa-era kayōkyoku, making it easier to sing than it might sound at first.
The range isn’t very wide either, so it’s a good choice for women in their 50s with lower voices.

SignalSaitō Kazuyoshi
Although it sings of lingering attachment to a finished romance and a farewell, the piece somehow feels refreshingly light.
“Signal” is a track from the 21st album, “55 STONES,” released in 2021.
The easy-on-the-ears band sound meshes beautifully with the lyrical world.
You can feel the sadness and loneliness, yet by the end it leaves you with a dry, clear aftertaste.
This holds true for many of Saito’s other songs as well, but since there are almost no parts that require belting, it’s very easy to sing.
Kiyoshi’s Zundoko SongHikawa Kiyoshi
A heartwarming, approachable song that makes the most of rhythms found in folk songs and enka.
This masterpiece fully showcases Kiyoshi Hikawa’s charm, beautifully expressing the bittersweetness of love, masculine strength, and longing for one’s hometown.
With his natural vocal talent and refreshing appeal, Hikawa presents a uniquely modern take on the traditional enka worldview.
It was released by Nippon Columbia in February 2002.
The song won the Gold Prize at the 44th Japan Record Awards and is known as one of Hikawa’s signature tracks.
With its relaxed tempo and narrow melodic range, it’s a piece you can sing with a calm mindset.
During the chorus, it’s also nice to have listeners add call-and-response interjections!
