From the depths of the heart to the water planet

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.

JUJU 'So That It Overflows with Kindness'

When I was on the verge of losing the meaning of life, meeting the one I love made my heart shine… JUJU’s heartwarming rock ballad is cherished by people of all generations.

Released in February 2009 as the theme song for a collaborative project between MTV Japan and Nissan, the track’s chorus expresses unconditional love and gratitude, like an eternal vow to someone precious.

The next time you go to karaoke with that intriguing man in his 40s, why not share your feelings through this song?

globe / Love again #Theme song of “Love Jōtō” #BADLY_IN_LOVE #Bad Relationship

People in their 40s are the generation that matched perfectly with the Komuro Sound, right? globe, in particular, was incredibly popular.

However, many of globe’s songs are quite high, and as we get older, a lot of their famous tracks can feel harder to sing.

That’s why I recommend Love again.

While it does have some high notes, its range is slightly narrower for a female song—roughly from mid1F to hiC.

Because of that, you can lower the key by a wider margin, making it easier to find your ideal key, and the pitch movement is relatively simple compared to other globe songs.
