BEACONDREAMS COME TRUE
For women in their 40s, wouldn’t it be fair to say that DREAMS COME TRUE is the most popular music duo? They have many classic songs, but among them, the one I’d recommend as easy to sing even for the tone-deaf is “BEACON.” This is a relatively new track that was released in July 2025 as the theme song for the drama “The Great Pursuit: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Violent Crimes Unit.” The song marks a return to a late-’90s to early-2000s style, resulting in a wistful yet nostalgic melody.
In particular, the bass line features a nostalgic effect you don’t hear much in contemporary J-pop.
As for the vocal line, it has a relatively narrow range for a DREAMS COME TRUE song; while it includes many long tones, the overall pitch movement is gentle.
#Tokyo LIFEKato Miria
It’s a slightly cool song with an R&B vibe that feels very much like Miliyah Kato, and the second verse even has a rap-like section.
The vocal range isn’t that high, so it’s a song you can sing smoothly.
As long as you can lock into the rhythm, you’ll be able to sing it really stylishly, so make sure to listen closely to the backing track and keep the rhythm.
If you clap while you sing, it’s easier to see where to place the accents.
Especially in the rap section of the second verse, if the backing track and your claps hit strongly in the same spots, those parts become the accents, making it easier to stay aware of them.
Overall, you want to stay relaxed, so move with the groove and have fun.
Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki
This is a song from Yuki Koyanagi’s 1999 debut, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Maybe some of you listened to this track on repeat back then? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch.
Don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the melody jumps up quickly from the chorus into the bridge, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.
The accompaniment is solid, so you can lower the key and still sing it stylishly without any problem.
You don’t have to belt across the whole song—keeping a light touch with a head voice focus is plenty, so try approaching it with an easy, relaxed feel.
Wasshoi!Aikawa Nanase
Nanase Aikawa was recently appointed as a Japan–Brazil Friendship and Goodwill Ambassador.
Her song “Wasshoi!” was released with the theme of connecting Brazil and Japan in 2025.
The piece consciously incorporates a distinctly Japanese flavor in its melody, featuring several phrases reminiscent of enka.
As a result, it’s crafted to be easy for Japanese singers to perform; however, the end of the chorus holds a sustained long note at a slightly higher pitch, so be careful not to let your voice crack there.
If you set the key to suit that section, there aren’t any particularly difficult elements, so please use this as a reference.
Face the changeEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is a music duo that still enjoys enduring popularity today.
“Face the change” is an early-career work of theirs, characterized by distinctly ’90s synthesizers and a somewhat rock-tinged vocal line.
That said, it doesn’t feature shouty phrases, and the vocal range stays relatively narrow.
The rhythm is simple as well, so if you can maintain steady, full-bodied tone on sustained notes, it will likely come across as skillful.

A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
A classic karaoke staple beloved by a wide range of generations, “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” is a renowned song that served as the opening theme for the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Its lyrics, which express the world of the series, became a hot topic.
For those in their 40s, it may evoke nostalgia along with memories from around 1995, when the show aired.
The track is characterized by its dynamic sound that opens with dazzling synths, and its passionate melody builds toward the chorus, guaranteed to energize any karaoke session.
Whether you know the series or not, why not try singing this quintessential anime song that anyone can enjoy?
Our FailureMorita Doji
This is a song by singer-songwriter Doji Morita that was used as the theme song for the 1993 TV drama “High School Teacher.” The song was originally released on record in 1976, but it became a revival hit after being featured in the drama and was later released on CD.
It’s a slightly melancholic ballad, notable for its whisper-like vocals.
If you’re in your 40s, many of you may have watched the drama when it aired.
It’s a song you can memorize after listening a few times, so even if you didn’t know it before, give it a try!
