WHITEBREATHT.M.Revolution
This is T.M.Revolution’s sixth single.
With this song, he made two appearances on the Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
In the music video, many were surely surprised to see T.M.Revolution appear wearing a jacket and tie over his bare torso.
Set against swirling snow, the powerfully delivered melody leaves a lasting impression.
From the depths of the heart to the water planetMoriguchi Hiroko
Singer Hiroko Moriguchi, known as a leading figure among the original “baradoru” (variety-idol) talents and still an indispensable presence on variety shows today.
Her debut single as an idol singer, “Mizu no Hoshi e Ai wo Komete,” was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
If a woman in her 40s sings it, it’s sure to hype up men of the same generation, so it’s a great pick for karaoke.
There’s also an arranged version included on the 2019 album GUNDAM SONG COVERS, making it a karaoke song that’s fun to compare across versions.
fireworksaiko
Aiko’s summer song “Hanabi.” Since it was released in 1999, many people likely listened to it in their twenties.
Some women probably recall their youthful days through its lyrics about love’s uncertainties, but when you actually try singing it, the feeling is different from just listening back then, and the words sink in anew.
Despite its light, brisk melody, “Hanabi” seems tough to sing, but if you can catch the rhythm and deliver it well, it’s really cool! It’s easy for listeners to get into, and it becomes a lot of fun!
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
Mayo Okamoto’s hit song “TOMORROW” reminds me of those days when I got through every painful and sad moment by listening to it.
It’s a beloved song across all ages and has long been cherished and sung as an anthem of encouragement for people of many generations.
It’s also a great track to get everyone pumped up at karaoke, and it goes perfectly with tambourines and handclaps!
P.S. I LOVE YOUPINK SAPPHIRE
This is the debut single by PINK SAPPHIRE, a girls’ band that came out of “Ika-su Band Tengoku” (an amateur band TV competition).
It was used as a drama’s theme song and, despite being their first release, became a huge hit.
The soaring high notes in the chorus feel great, and the combination of a happy melody and lyrics with a rock sound makes for a very pleasant track.
