For me to be myselfOzaki Yutaka
This is a song that powerfully sings about the importance of living true to yourself.
The candid, conversational lyrics and the warm, gentle melody resonate deeply.
The frictions and conflicts in relationships that everyone experiences, along with a strong desire for self-fulfillment, are sure to evoke profound empathy in listeners.
Included on Yutaka Ozaki’s debut album “Seventeen’s Map,” it has continued to be close to many hearts since its release in December 1983.
In 1997, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Boku ga Boku de Aru Tame ni,” and it has been covered by prominent artists such as Mr.Children.
It’s a heartwarming anthem I recommend to anyone standing at a crossroads in life, searching for their path ahead.
Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako
This is a supportive song that gently portrays the feelings of someone about to set off on a new journey.
Takako Okamura’s warm voice, singing about the importance of holding on to your passion for your dreams, quietly gives listeners a push forward.
Along with its melodious tune, the lyrics—filled with kindness and consideration for others—resonate deeply.
Included on the album “Andantino a tempo,” the song was released in February 1987 and was used in commercials for Musashi Prep School and as an insert song for “Netto Koshien.” In 2005, it was also chosen as the theme song for the film “Gyakkyō Nine.” It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you’re about to take a new step or find yourself at a crossroads in life.
thrillHotei Tomoyasu
Included on the 1996 album “King & Queen.” Born in 1962.
A guitarist and singer from Gunma Prefecture.
Although it’s used as Egashira 2:50’s theme on a TV show, it’s by no means the kind of song you’d just play for laughs; I think it’s a masterpiece where the aggressive guitar sound and Hotei’s shouted vocals fit together remarkably well.
BambinaHotei Tomoyasu
If you’re a rock-loving man in your 40s, there’s no doubt you’ve listened to Tomoyasu Hotei’s songs.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “Bambina.” It’s a track with a lively, raucous riff that screams rock ’n’ roll, keeping the energy high from start to finish.
Despite its upbeat feel, the vocal line sits mainly in the lower to mid range, making it very easy to sing.
Definitely give it a try.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
Included on the 1991 album “With Whom Do You Share a Happy Yawn?”.
It was also the theme song for the film “No Abnormalities on the Job-Hunting Front,” released the same year.
Born in 1969.
A singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture.
Set to a light, up-tempo rhythm and a pop, catchy melody, his earnest, plainspoken vocals deliver encouraging lyrics that lift the listener’s spirits.
I won’t fall in love anymore.Makihara Noriyuki
A signature song by Noriyuki Makihara, distinguished by its heartwarming melody that embraces both the ache of heartbreak and a brave front.
It gently portrays memories of a former lover and the nostalgia of everyday life, while the protagonist’s resolve to move forward resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in May 1992, it was chosen as the theme song for the NTV drama “After the Children Are Asleep.” Included on the album “Kimi wa Boku no Takaramono,” it became a major hit, ranking 7th on Oricon’s year-end chart.
This piece is a companion for those standing at life’s crossroads.
When you gather with friends for karaoke, its universally relatable lyrics and melody are sure to warm the heart.
