CoolGō Hiromi
I can’t help but be enchanted by its urban, sophisticated sound.
“Cool” here is the 56th single, released in 1985.
From deep within its calm melodic line, you can feel a tenderness toward a special woman gently seeping through.
It even makes me feel as if it’s being sung just for me.
Since the vocal range is relatively narrow, you should be able to take your time and sing it with ease.
By the way, there’s also a full English version of this song, so it might be fun to give that a try as well.
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.
dragonflyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
It’s Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 20th single in total, released in October 1988.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Tonbo,” in which Nagabuchi himself starred, and it became a million seller.
It’s one of the iconic folk-rock songs of the Heisei era.
To make this song sound good at karaoke, the key is, above all, how you handle the pauses—the “ma” between phrases and between lines.
Vocally, there aren’t many particularly difficult melodic parts, so try singing while keeping a solid sense of rhythm.
Since Nagabuchi’s singing style is very distinctive, it’s perfectly fine to have fun doing an impression of him, including the scat sections in the intro and elsewhere!
Rules of the RoadOzaki Yutaka
This is the opening track featured on the 1985 album “Through the Broken Door.” Its driving band sound and densely packed layers of words are striking, strongly conveying a sense of urgency.
It’s said to draw on Yutaka Ozaki’s experiences staying in New York, embedding themes of racial discrimination and economic disparity.
You can feel a will to overcome suffering in both the sound and the vocals.
The melody’s pitch changes are gentle, so as long as you lock into the rhythm, it should be a relatively easy song to sing.
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
A gem of a ballad, rich with emotion and singing of the bittersweet love of winter, has arrived from Keisuke Kuwata.
It’s a moving piece that looks back on warm memories of love, as if wrapped in snow, with a sense of blessing.
Rather than lamenting a past romance as merely a failure, it strikingly celebrates the moments of that love from the heart.
Alongside a beautiful, resonant melody, it conveys a gentle warmth within the winter cold.
Released in October 2001, the song was featured in a Coca-Cola commercial and sold 520,000 copies on the Oricon weekly chart.
It’s a perfect choice for winter karaoke with family and close friends when you want to share heartwarming memories.
promiseGō Hiromi
In 2022, timed with their 50th anniversary debut, the single “Jankenpon GO!!” was released, and this song “Yakusoku” was included as the B-side.
The message in the lyrics—“I want to become someone I can be proud of and go see the person I cherish”—is truly wonderful.
It gives you the courage to face tomorrow and gently warms your heart.
Try taking it on when you want to sing a moving ballad.
Even men who aren’t confident with high notes should be able to handle it.
Chaco’s Seaside StorySazan Ōrusutāzu
Released in 1982 as Southern All Stars’ 14th single.
With a melody and arrangement that exude the essence of Showa-era pop, it’s likely a very easy song for people in their 50s to sing.
There’s plenty of chorus by Yuko Hara, so it’s also fun to treat it like a male-female duet! Doing a Kouji Kuwata impression when you sing is totally fine for karaoke, too—so enjoy to your heart’s content as you reminisce about those nostalgic days!
