This is T-BOLAN’s second single, released as a single in December 1991, cut from their first album, “T-BOLAN.” A cover by Gackt was later released as well.

It’s a very beautiful ballad; the intro, led mainly by piano and vocals, might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident singers to tackle at karaoke.

However, if you can gently deliver that opening, then for the chorus and beyond, just sing with all the heat and passion—like the original—and it should come together quite nicely.

If your voice cracks on the high notes, it can ruin the whole performance, so if you plan to sing this at karaoke, it’s best to figure out a key that suits you beforehand.

Give it a try and showcase a passionate, emotion-filled vocal!

hide with Spread Beaver is the band formed after X JAPAN disbanded.

They left behind many great songs, and among them, ROCKET DIVE is especially famous.

I imagine many men in their 40s at the time were captivated by hide’s charm.

The most singable aspect of this track is, above all, its vocal range.

Although it’s a high-energy song, the range itself is quite narrow, and there are no long sustained notes.

By simply controlling your pitch well, it’s a song where you can aim for a high score.

SAY YESCHAGE and ASKA

Known by the nickname “Chageasu,” CHAGE & ASKA is a musical duo whose exquisite harmonies captivate fans.

This is their 27th single, used as the theme song for the TV drama “The 101st Proposal,” which became a social phenomenon.

With its dreamy arrangement and catchy melody, the track became a million-selling hit.

The overall key is low and the melodic range is modest, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.

For those in their 40s—the generation that grew up with it—it’s a ballad that symbolizes the trendy-drama boom of 1990, and we hope pairs will sing it together to recreate the harmonies.

“Koyoi no Tsuki no Yō ni” is the 15th single by the rock band Elephant Kashimashi, led by Hiroji Miyamoto, who exudes a unique aura.

Chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara” starring Makiko Esumi, it became one of their signature hits, marking their first entry into the Oricon Top 10 for a single.

It’s a masterpiece with Miyamoto’s straightforward vocals that stir the heart.

The lyrics, which express the desire to shine someday like the moon, resonate especially with men in their 40s.

The melody has few dynamic shifts, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

This was Shogo Hamada’s 14th single, released on November 21, 1981.

In 1992, it was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” which led to it being re-released on February 1 of the same year as his 23rd single.

Hamada himself has a very husky and appealing voice, so in that sense, this might be one of the best choices for people who aren’t confident singers—especially those who struggle with high notes—to pick for karaoke.

The vocal melody is very simple and easy to sing, so even if you’re not good at singing, please give this one a try and enjoy it.

Don’t worry about the details; just focus on the vibe, and you’ll likely make it sound really good!

Tearful KissSazan Ōrusutāzu

This was Southern All Stars’ 31st single, released in July 1992.

It was the theme song for the drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” which became a huge talking point at the time, to the point of being called a social phenomenon due to the extreme behavior of the character Fuyuhiko.

If you’re in your 40s now, there’s a good chance you’ve heard it.

In contrast to the unsettling atmosphere in the drama, the theme song itself is a mid-tempo tune with a rather heartwarming melody, making it easy for anyone to hum along.

You might even have fun doing a little impression of Southern’s vocalist, Mr.

Kuwata, while you sing!

Don’t worry be happyMONGOL800

This is a party tune from a band that kept racking up hits—not just in Okinawa, but across the indie scene, even setting new records.

The lyrics are easy to grasp, the catchy sound is instantly familiar, and it’s the kind of song you want to sing with everyone, fists in the air.

It would absolutely light up a second round at a drinking party.
