Bridge Over Troubled WaterSimon&Garfunkel

Simon and Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water
Bridge Over Troubled WaterSimon&Garfunkel

It’s a song so well-known that it’s even in textbooks, and its original title is “Bridge over Troubled Water” (I think the Japanese title was cleverly chosen).

Be careful when singing, as the key rises at the song’s climax.

“Rosanna” is a song released in 1982 by the American band TOTO, and it became a worldwide hit.

It also won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and is still listened to today as one of TOTO’s signature tracks.

I think it sounds cool if you sing the chorus line “Meet you all the way” with a slightly staccato feel.

Livin’ On A PrayerBon Jovi

It’s a classic by Bon Jovi.

It’s a very cool song; it can be difficult if you belt it out, but it’s not that hard if you sing it more lightly.

The key is to avoid screaming, I suppose.

This song is guaranteed to get everyone fired up.

Let’s go wildSteppenwolf

It’s a song that became a huge hit as the theme for the film Easy Rider and is very well-known in Japan as well.

(It’s often used as the entrance music when the comedian Sugi-chan appears.) I don’t think it’s a particularly difficult song, so go sing it wildly at karaoke.

Private EyesDaryl Hall & John Oates

An ultra-famous song by Hall & Oates that topped the U.S.

charts for two consecutive weeks in 1981.

It was even featured in TV commercials.

Hall & Oates are extremely popular in Japan and have many other hits, but if you’re singing karaoke, this number-one track is the way to go! It’s a super lively, pop tune that makes you want to jump in with call-and-response.
