Chicago, which was often played by request on wired broadcasting.

When I hear this song, it reminds me of the streets of Tokyo in the 80s.

I suppose that’s because stylish, urban songs were popular back then.

If you try singing it all the way through while reminiscing about those days, you might feel like you’ve time-traveled.

Sweet TrapCheap Trick

If you’re a rock-loving man in your 50s, you might know Cheap Trick.

Since their songs are straightforward, how about singing the song titled “I Want You to Want Me” to a woman? In Japanese it can be embarrassing, but in English you might be able to say it.

An original number by The Monkees, well known in Japan through Kiyoshiro Imawano of The Timers singing the Japanese cover in a certain convenience store commercial.

Amazingly, the song was released in 1967, and The Monkees were said to be as popular as The Beatles at the time.

This number has a very gentle melody, is easy to sing, and will create a warm, cozy atmosphere for everyone.

Be sure to grab a tambourine and sing along!

This number is super famous in Japan thanks to Hideki Saijo’s cover “Young Man.” It’s originally a 1978 track by the Village People.
