This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 21st single overall, released in May 2006.

It was issued as a double A-side single together with “Utsukushiki Hana,” which was included on the CD at the same time, and it was used as the theme song for the TBS variety show “Koisuru Hanikami!” It’s a slow-tempo ballad where the beautiful acoustic guitar sound and Fukuyama’s mature vocals are exquisitely matched.

There’s nothing particularly demanding in terms of vocal technique or complexity in the melody, but when singing this at karaoke, the most important thing is how you handle the spaces between phrases—how skillfully you “sing” the rests.

Cherish each word of the lyrics, study his original performance well, and then give it a try.

Stellar Days,” a classic by Motohiro Hata known as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun.” While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics have a somewhat grand impression, yet they still pair well with the show, making the song highly memorable.

It leans strongly into emotional elements, and the verses through the pre-chorus carry a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere.

Because the track showcases many facets within a single song, the more you listen, the more depth you’ll discover.

Be sure to check it out.

As a solo artist, Keisuke Kuwata’s seventh single in total was released in October 2001.

It was used as the campaign song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason” commercials, in which Kuwata himself appeared, as well as in Uniqlo’s “LifeWear/HEATTECH: Get Outside in Winter” commercials.

You could call this a staple of late 90s to early 2000s J-pop.

Many songs from this era are very easy to sing, and this ballad is no exception—it’s something anyone can enjoy singing casually.

Since the chorus jumps up in range all at once, I recommend singing it lightly to avoid forcing your voice.

HOWEVERGLAY

For those in their 40s, this is the kind of song that someone always sang at karaoke.

Released in 1997 as GLAY’s 12th single, it was a massive hit and a million-seller.

It’s a subdued ballad, but the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, so it lets you leave a mature impression.

In fact, TAKURO is said to have written it with a girlfriend from GLAY’s indie days in mind, so if you sing it while reminiscing about the past, you can capture the mood.

Pay attention to the lyrics that depict a grand love as you sing.

This is Spitz’s 13th single, released in April 1996.

It was a major hit, selling over 1.6 million copies, and it’s popular across generations—not just among people in their 40s.

Although the key is a bit high for a male vocal, some might shy away from singing it at karaoke.

However, the vocal melody itself doesn’t span a very wide range, so if you adjust the key to suit your voice, it should be easy for anyone to sing.

The rhythm has a slight bounce to it, so try singing it with a light, lively feel!

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS “Linda Linda” [1st Single (1987/5/1)] THE BLUE HEARTS / Linda Linda

This was THE BLUE HEARTS’ debut single, released in May 1987.

It really rode the late-’80s band boom and became a big hit.

I imagine many people heard bands cover it at school festivals, or even sang it themselves in their own bands.

In terms of genre, it falls into what’s commonly called beat punk; both the melody and rhythm are very simple and easy to remember, and it doesn’t require a wide vocal range to sing, so it’s a fun song to try.

Not just this one—many BLUE HEARTS songs are great picks even for people who aren’t confident singers.

Kenji Ozawa’s classic “Riding in a Corolla II.” It tends to be overshadowed by “Tonight is Boogie Back,” his collaboration with Scha Dara Parr, but in fact, it’s one of his biggest hits.

This song is characterized by its gentle melody.

Maintaining an ennui-tinged atmosphere, the vocal line is naturally rendered in a calm manner.

With a narrow range and mild melodic movement, it’s among the easiest songs to sing from that era.
