The Land of ‘Good Job’ (Otsukaresama)Saitō Kazuyoshi
In the midst of our busy social lives with work and more, “Otsukaresama desu” has become a phrase we say almost without thinking.
This gently moving message song touches the hearts behind those words—please give it a listen.
Otsukaresama no Kuni was released in 2008 as the 35th single.
It was used in a commercial for Arinamin, so many of you may find it familiar.
The steadfast vocals and warm melody feel like they envelop your whole body.
I believe it’s a song that gives you the strength to face tomorrow.
Try singing it to cheer yourself up.
being teased; being pranked; being tampered withKuwata Keisuke
This song, strongly influenced by classic kayōkyoku to match the program’s concept, was unveiled as a new track on the show “Gratitude for the Great Kayōkyoku: Songs of Tokyo,” featuring Keisuke Kuwata.
Its playful spirit shines through in the sound and lyrics, sprinkled with touches that evoke kayōkyoku and suspense dramas.
With a gentle rhythm and minimal melodic leaps, it’s a piece you can sing in a relaxed manner.
The lyrics, depicting a romantic scene tinged with mystery, are another highlight—so be sure to sing it with an emphasis on mood.
Catharsis of youthGō Hiromi
Precisely because you love someone, you can’t show your true self in front of them… This song portrays the difficulty of such delicate emotions.
Released in 1980 as the 36th single, “Wakasa no Catharsis” was used as an insert song in the drama “Mrs., Me, and Señor!” Its slightly ennui-laden mood pairs perfectly with Hiromi Go’s wistful vocals.
It’s cool yet heartbreaking—a work with a strikingly dual appeal.
Since the highest notes are quite low, even men who aren’t confident with high tones should find it easy to try.
loverSuzuki Masayuki
Another recommendation is “Koibito” (“Lover”), which is getting attention again right now.
It was released in 1993 as a lead single from the album “Perfume.” The song had long been loved by many, but after it was performed on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020, it became popular with an even wider range of generations.
The song expresses pure love for a romantic partner.
It’s a classic love ballad, so learning it will likely be useful in many ways.
The whisper-voice sections are especially appealing, so try focusing your practice there!

There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu
The original song was released as a single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by Ulfuls.
The melody of this song is quintessential Showa-era kayōkyoku—simple and easy to sing, the kind anyone can hum along to.
Even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine choosing it at karaoke! Sing it bright and cheerfully!
LA VIE EN ROSEYoshikawa Koji
Since his debut, singer-songwriter Koji Kikkawa has continued to make his presence felt both in music and acting.
His third single, “LA VIE EN ROSE,” is notable for its stylish ensemble featuring thrilling synth sounds.
With no large leaps in pitch and a moderate melodic flow, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s a recommended karaoke song for people in their 50s—one to sing while channeling the ever-sharp Koji Kikkawa, who hasn’t lost his edge with age.
SUMMER SUSPICIONSugiyama Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe
Omega Tribe was a band that enjoyed major success from the early 1980s to the early 1990s.
Like Southern All Stars and TUBE, they’re known for having many summer songs.
Before their debut, they changed their name to Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe and left behind many classic tracks.
SUMMER SUSPICION is their debut work.
While it has a refreshing vibe, it also conveys a mature atmosphere.
The song has a somewhat wide vocal range, but the melody line itself is Showa kayō-style and fairly simple.
Men in their 50s who don’t find the mid-to-high range taxing should definitely give it a try.
