MELODYFukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama – MELODY (Full ver.)

“MELODY” expresses a straightforward desire to stay with the precious person right in front of you, even if you sometimes miss each other.

It was released in 1993 as a double A-side single together with “BABY BABY.” Its friendly, easy-to-remember melody makes it an easy song to sing.

The key is slightly on the higher side, so it may be comfortable for those who struggle with low notes.

Conversely, if your voice is lower, dropping the key just a little will make it easier to sing.

Enjoy singing it while taking in the song’s refreshing vibe!

That’s all.Fukuyama Masaharu

A pop number that sings about straightforward love, “Sore ga Subete sa.” Released in 2003 as part of a triple A-side single alongside “Niji” and “Himawari,” the song drew attention for being featured in a Pocari Sweat commercial.

One of the reasons it’s so easy to sing is its catchy melody that gets everyone excited and singing together.

Another appeal is how memorable it is thanks to that melody and its simple, straightforward lyrics.

You’ll want to watch out for the rap part in the middle, but overall it’s a song you can sing relaxed and have fun with!

Masaki Suda and Kenta Kiritani star in the 2017 film Hibana, based on a novel by Naoki Matayoshi.

The song Asakusa Kid was used as its theme.

It’s a famous track written and composed—and originally sung—by Beat Takeshi.

Tied to a story that portrays the struggles of comedians, Beat Takeshi’s song was released in 1986, making it an easy one to perform even when you go to karaoke with people from that generation.

There are hardly any high notes, so it’s easy to sing even for those with lower voices.

It also sounds cool as a duet.

Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki

Masayuki Suzuki cover album “DISCOVER JAPAN III” track: “Namida-kun, Sayonara” (Goodbye, Mr. Tears)
Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki

Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.

While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.

That said, it preserves the charm of the original.

Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.

Red tambourineBLANKEY JET CITY

BLANKEY JET CITY is a legendary rock band that still has a devoted fanbase.

In the Japanese rock scene, they occupy a charismatic position similar to Nirvana.

I imagine many men in their 40s admired their music as well.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Akai Tambourine (Red Tambourine).

Many of Blankey’s tracks have dramatic jumps in pitch, but this one is quite restrained.

It holds together even when sung with a rough vocal style, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

People of the same generation are sure to get really excited with this one.

It’s FIELD OF VIEW’s biggest hit, which was tied in as the theme song for the anime Dragon Ball GT.

It’s a bright yet bittersweet love song that tells of a heart being unconsciously drawn to someone.

The key might be a bit high for men, but there aren’t any sudden leaps in pitch or complex rhythms, so it’s easy to sing! It’s a nostalgic anime song that’s also popular at karaoke.

If you’re not too confident, try lowering the key.

One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS

It was released in 2010 as FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ 14th single.

The music video featured Masahiro Tanaka, who was then a pitcher for the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, and the song was widely used in baseball programs and Koshien-related TV shows.

Its easy-to-sing key makes you want to belt it out with all your feelings.
