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!
BE MY BABYCOMPLEX
COMPLEX’s signature track “BE MY BABY.” Its sound is characterized by a distinctive synthesizer interwoven with a flair that shines with the essence of 80s Japanese rock.
While the song exudes a rock ’n’ roll vibe, the vocal line carries a calmness reminiscent of Japanese pop ballads.
As proof, the vocal range is quite narrow, from mid1 E to mid2 D.
Having fundamental techniques like vibrato can make it easier to rack up bonus points in karaoke, but even without such finer techniques, simply staying on pitch is enough to aim for a score of 90 or higher.
hairy chestSaijō Hideki
This song is characterized by passionate vocals and alluring lyrics.
Released in February 1983, it drew attention as Hideki Saijo’s first single after going independent.
It was also included on the album “It’s You” and is cherished as one of Saijo’s signature works from the 1980s.
The lyrics by Yoshinori Monta depict a yearning for an enticing woman, even if it means a one-night romance.
It’s perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke or blowing off work-related stress.
With its easy-to-remember melody and lyrics, it’s a track enjoyed not only by men in their 50s but by listeners of all ages.
It’s nothing good.Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This song, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 16th single, was released in 1987 and used as the theme song for the TV drama “Oyako Zigzag,” so many of you may remember it.
The “pii pii pii” used in the intro and interlude is so famous that just hearing it is sure to bring back memories for many people.
How many good faces?Gō Hiromi
The 35th single, released in July 1980, is “How many Ii Kao.” The song portrays someone thrilled by a woman whose expressions change from moment to moment, conjuring images of a flirtatious, playful romance.
Its rhythmic groove and somewhat innocent-sounding vocals are such a perfect match.
It’s catchy, so it’s a great pick when you want to warm up the mood at karaoke.
The melodic range isn’t very wide, so try not to get thrown off by the tempo—focus on singing it steadily.
