C-C-B’s third single, “Romantic ga Tomaranai,” released in 1985.
It became a huge hit after being chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Maido Osawagase Shimasu.” The band is famous for its unusual style of having the drummer as the lead vocalist! With its perfect tempo and groove, this song is guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke.
The Last Holy NightSugiyama Kiyotaka
It’s a song like a memory that never fades.
Released in November 1986, it was Kiyotaka Sugiyama’s second solo single.
It showcases Sugiyama’s refined musicality, clearly influenced by The Beatles.
The lyrics, which portray a bittersweet parting on Christmas Eve, leave a deep impression on the heart.
Also included on the album “realtime to paradise,” this work has long been loved by many fans.
It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who has experienced a farewell with someone dear.

This is one of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature songs; he’s active not only as a singer-songwriter but also as an actor.
It’s also well-known as the theme song for the “Future Diary V” segment on the variety show “Uhnan no Honto-ko!” Its relaxed, floating sound conveys a refreshing atmosphere along with a touch of poignancy.
The song depicts feelings for a former lover based on Fukuyama’s real experiences, so it’s a piece you’ll want to sing while staying close to those emotions.

Winter LightningArisu
It was Alice’s 11th single overall, released in 1977.
For Alice, it became their first hit to break into the Top 10 on the charts.
I imagine many men in their 50s first discovered Alice through popular shows of the time like TBS’s “The Best Ten.” I myself learned about Alice through this song, instantly became a big fan, and I vividly remember pretending a broom was a guitar during school cleaning time, singing and playing with friends.
I’m sure many of you had similar experiences, right? I hope it brings back memories of your nostalgic boyhood and that you all sing along and have fun together.
Musically, it’s an upbeat, really enjoyable track, so if you pick this song at karaoke, it’s sure to liven up the room!

A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for a big sing-along! People might laugh and say, “Who put in ‘Gatchaman’?!” but honestly, there isn’t a single person in their 50s who doesn’t know the lyrics.
Have fun with it—try singing it a bit in Shimon’s style, too!
